Subject: RE: Afro-Latin Music {Tito Puente & more}
It's been a while since I posted to this thread.

I'm adding some more examples of YouTube videos of guaguanco music. I love listening to this music and also watching the videos. I particularly like watching the dancing that the singers do.

The first video I'm posting features the wonderful singer Celia Cruz:

Celia Con El Gran Combo - Guanguanco de el Gran Combo

Btw, the summary and the comments for this video is in Spanish. That appears to also be the case with a lot of other YouTube videos of Cuban music. It stands to reason that these summaries and most of these comments would be in Spanish since Spanish is the official language of Cuba. However, I wonder if the paucity of viewer comments in English means that few non-Spanish speaking people are watching these videos.

If so, that's a shame and is a wasted opportunity on so many levels.
