Give You The World by DEY

One of the greatest things that I have discovered is that I shouldn't take myself too seriously and admit that I only know so much. For instance, I often get this idea that somehow I know all the good bands out there and I have probably watched all the good music videos. But then I am proven wrong by bands like The D.E.Y. Check this great track from them called "Give You The World." The band includes Divine, Élan, and Yeyo (DEY), and since they speak both English and Spanish the music is a fusion of hip-hop, R&B, pop, and Afro-Latino. The result is an eclectic mix of Latino and English music.

Ivy Queen Te he querido Te he Llorado

As many of you know, the Spanish music has a special place in my heart and while my comprehension of the language is limited to Hola and Gracias, I still love the music. That is why when I was introduced to Ivy Queen, I was mesmerized. Remember that she is an unusual artist. She has a somewhat masculine voice but has still managed to become a top singer and that includes Grammy nominations. I have watched her other music videos and I must confess that they are good in an unusual way. Here is a favorite of mine called Te he querido Te he Llorado:

There are other things that might interest you about her. She is a woman who has found success in the world of reggaeton dominated by macho Latin men.

Plus, she is a plastic surgery addict and has not only breast implants but also had work done on her face. Plus, she seems to have the longest nails in the world.

Eva Longoria sex tape

While one would like to think that Eva Longoria is a desperate housewife, the reality is that this petite Latina is actually married to a really tall French player (Tony Parker) who seems to adore her and had a wonderful wedding in a castle in France. So why would Eva make a sex tape with a guy called Perry Hilton. I thought this types of videos were reserved for Paris Hilton. Hey, if you want to see Eva in lingerie having a pillow fight with a hot man in her bedroom, this is the video to watch.

What is on the mind of Carlos Mencia?

I am not sure how many of you know who Carlos Mencia is but he has become quite successful as a comedian. He is a Hispanic-American and because of his ethnicity, he can easily make fun of what he calls as the "beaners" (or people who eat beans). Since he makes fun of Mexicans and other Latinos, he "earns" a right to ridicule everyone else too. So if you are hurt by someone making fun of your racial stereotype, then don't bother watching him. However, if you enjoy a good laugh at your (or anyone else's) expense and do not mind politically incorrect jokes, he is hilarious. Some of his humor can be cheap and crude, but hey, only Woody Allen can crack sophisticated jokes.

This video clip takes a slightly different spin on the "The Mind of Carlos Mencia," the name of the program.

Ridiculous Spanish television program

Like Japanese television, Spanish television has all kinds of ridiculous programs. No, I am not making fun of their programs - we have our Jerry Springer and Montel Williams shows that are equally crazy.

So watch this clip in which a blindfolded Latina in lingerie (I can't figure out why she has to wear a lace baby doll instead of regular clothes for this exercise) walks over men lying in their brief underwear trying to avoid their faces and private parts. I can't figure out why anyone would do it, but here it is for you to watch the wonders of reality television.

Music video Control by Gold2Flow

I have selected some great music videos in Spanish and of Latinos, even if I speak just a few words of this romantic language. Here is a brief list of the ones that I like the most.

Baila Morena by Hector and Tito

Belanova Tus Ojos

Nadia and Bea sing in Spanglish

Reggaeton music video

Salsa video of Yesenia Peralta

Wisin and Yandel music video

In the same genre, check this clip called Control by Gold2Flow. Again, be prepared to be entertained by some good music, and lot of beautiful girls in mini skirts and bikinis - that is how Latinos party.
