EXCELLENT …
EXCELLENT documentry!!! My only complaint is that is forgets the tango craze of the early 20th Century and ignores the urban U.S. Latino genre of FREESTYLE which was popular with Latino youth during the 80s and 90s. Stars like Johnny O, Geroge Lamond, Judy Torres, Cynthia, TKA, etc. gave us countless electro-pop “heartthrob” melodies that continue to be listened to by the younger Hispanic generations to this day… Still a great documentry though…

I saw both episodes …
I saw both episodes, really enjoyed it. Cerv7 is right, they ignored Freestyle. However, I was shock that they admitted that the Reggaeton beat came from a song called “Dem Bow” by a Jamaican artist known as Shabba Rank’s and that Panamanians were doing Reggaeton before Puerto Ricans. About time the truth comes out.

‘Oye Como Va’ …
‘Oye Como Va’ written and composed by Tito Puente (1963), popularized by Santana in 1970 on the ‘Abraxas’ album…which is an incredible album in its’ own right.
