Title: QUestion for Darolina Post by: Frank O on September 28, 2005, 04:00:00 AM I e mailed you but did not get a response. I asked you if it made ANY difference if one is American but NOT a gringo. In other words like in my case I'm Latino but living in Texas. Does that even matter to a Colombian? I have had several make negative remarks about Mexicans but most being far from the truth such as Mexicans drink a lot & beat their women!! LOL!!

Hola Frank, Well, in your case I think you have an advantage, the language is one, and besides, you should have some of the Latin culture in you but since you were raised in the US you also have the good things about the American culture. It doesn't really matter to Colombians, I think it's a great advantage, you know the Latin culture, as well as the American culture so basically you can understand better some of those cultural differences there are, right? Title: Thanks for answering my question.

Only comment I've heard consistently is that they think that Mexican men are muy machistas. Aside from that, if you speak spanish there is more positive than negative because they think you are better able to relate because of your latin heritage/culture. -TNC Title: Re: QUestion for Darolina Post by: A1A on September 28, 2005, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to QUestion for Darolina, posted by Frank O on Sep 28, 2005
Just leave your "wife beater" t-shirts at home, the colombianas don't like them. But I hear Puerto Rican woman love them. Title: Maybe I'll try a Boriqua or another Uke.

If you sing "rancheras" around the Latinas from SA that I know, you'll be sunk. Title: Re: Re: QUestion for Darolina Post by: Frank O on September 29, 2005, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: QUestion for Darolina, posted by Snoopy on Sep 28, 2005
Funny but growing up where I did it's part of the culture. Having said that I don't know a SINGLE ranchera & that's because I'm a MUSICIAN man!! LOL!

[This message has been edited by Michael B] is the title of that song. But the REAL universal Ranchera song goes something like this: Una piedra en el camino A stone in the road (Chorus) With money and without money Yo sé bién que estoy afuera I know very well that I'm far away Con dinero y sín dinero With money and without money Title: Re: Re: Re: Re: QUestion for Darolina Post by: OkieMan on September 29, 2005, 04:00:00 AM ... in response to Re: Re: Re: QUestion for Darolina, posted by Snoopy on Sep 29, 2005
I don't know the proper name of that song, but I always think of the old Fritos commercial. That song was used as the "Fritos Bandito" song. It was funny to me. That was many years ago.

Me too ... :P Racheras suck anyway, but when it comes to latinas, it is better than singing heavy metal.
