But seriously folks….. My favorite Spanish music is Cuban. I have no idea why. I just really really like it. I’m not knowledgeable enough about music to tell you what it is that sets Cuban music apart from the music of other countries. Maybe someone will enlighten us.

SpanishPod101.com – Online Lessons – A Review
August 27th, 2009 No Comments
