Central America,HOT LATIN MUSIC and how it effects you

This Zumba craz is so ironic to me, that here I was in Central America for all those years, listening to the most wild regaeton and Latino music, then learning the best of the best dances to it.

Now here in USA hearing some of the music that we would listen to in the Monkey Bar in Jaco, dancing all night long too or at Genesha, or at Le Loft and just dance dance dance.

Now this very same music is my work out music here! Makes me think of all those times fun times watching people salsa, merenge talking laughing drinking and more missing my friends such as Rossy, Raquel, and Orfa.

I loved my Orfa great Columbina girlfriend who was always so direct, out-front telling it like it is but loved the music. She would sing songs and listen to the music videos, which in Central America is still on the air. We would spend evenings just listening to music, playing dominoes on the tiny balcony. Hot balmy nights right near the beach the sound of the waves crashing, the frogs beating like drums keeping the rhythm of the music. Some how no matter how difficult it was it seemed to disappear as we played and just listen to those hot Latin hits.

They have lots of music videos there. Honestly I am dying to go back, even with all the problems some how seems so simple compared to all the issues and problems of USA. And I thought it was bad there? when I hear all the robberies, and killings, and child crimes,It was simple and refreshing knowing that I only had to worry about rent, power, phone and food. Clothing optional! it was so hot you didn't wear much. But here TONS OF CLOTHES shoes always covered up. So when its time to Zumba I am colorful and remembering my days in Central America. I hope I get to return soon, I always have been a dancer, music lover. Its not my whole life but I have to say that Music and Dancing makes things disappear and you become lost in the moment, which helps ease the pain of life. I LOVE MUSIC ( I would love to sing too I use to be an ok singer)

Actually Marianna, you are more than an "Okay" singer. I always enjoyed your singing during jazz.
