Salsa Dance

It's dangerous to start speaking of yourself in the third person...you could become disembodied.

Yea man---me,  myself and I never do dat.

Happy Holidays crew....

[Elexpatriado]

How could Awesome possibly become disembodied?

Is this your clever way of suggesting that Awesome is a fictional character, making up stories about travels to far away places?

Have any of you guys ever booked flight to Colombia, but wound up in a totally different country?

As crazy as it sounds, I think this may have just happened to me! 

I've been here (wherever I am?) several days now... and all the people identify as Colombians, yet I've only heard 2 Vallenato songs, as I walk through the streets (you can hear music played constantly by various businesses, hotels, restaurants, etc.). Due to this fact alone, and only this fact, I realize that I CAN'T possibly be in Colombia since we've all heard from an expert source that "Vallenato seems to be the go to music in most all of Colombia, except for Cali".

What I HAVE heard is a LOT of salsa (crazy, right?) and reggaeton, along with some merengue, and American Pop.

I'm definitely not in Cali (at the moment).  I wonder why all these people are pretending to be Colombians, but not listening primarily to Vallenato...  The worst part about it is, now I don't know WHERE I am... Strange world we live in... smh

Lmfao. I didn't hear any vallenato in Barranquilla; only salsa. But maybe I wasn't in Colombia after all, and maybe my wife isn't actually Colombian....

THREE SOURCES found so far stating that VALLENATO is the most popular music in Colombia, plus my own personal experience.  As in the whole country, not only the cities of Barranquilla and Cali where salsa is more popular.


How many sources have you found, juan valdez, saying that salsa is the most popular music in Colombia?  So far you've found ZERO sources saying that salsa is the most popular music in Colombia.




So yes Awesome is still your daddy jv.  Your attempt at humor is pretty lame as well, which would explain your lack of success with women.

Country music is by some measure the most popular music in the USA but that doesn't mean you are going to hear it much in the big cities.....

Sooooo how exactly does that relate to this discussion/debate? 


I hear vallenato almost non-stop in Medellin which is Colombia's second biggest city.  I also heard primarily vallenato in Cucuta which is still one of the larger Colombian cities.  The only other city I've spent time in is Cali, and I don't remember if I heard much vallenato while there, but I definitely remember hearing plenty of salsa.  But outside of Cali and maybe Barranquilla salsa is not the most popular music of Colombia.

One time I was in an Exito in Medellin and there was Shania Twain playing on the Muzak. I laughed and my wife asked, "What's so funny?".

I was suggesting you could both be right.

The Nielsen data you posted is from 2015 but a few years ago country music was "by some measures" the top genre:

No only one of us can be right and that's Awesome.  I'm officially jv's daddy and I have the online data to back that up.
