Im sorry, I am a dancer who specializes in Afro-Cuban dance style. None of what you described in this article is featured in those two scenes. In the carnaval del Barrio only the Puerto Rican section features some Bomba Piquetes. The Dominican section has nothing Dominican (well the movie really lacks any authentic Read more

This latinoamericana grammar nerd thanks you for using Latine instead of Latinx!  Read more

Honestly, I’m a little salty Eliseo isn’t the Piragua Guy because my God that song just bursts with colour when he sings it. At the end of the day I'm thankful this beautiful show will be available for the whole world to enjoy.

You could always go the route of explaining how 20 of the 27 championships came before free agency, and the Yankees used their excessive number of farm clubs to lock up the best young players and keep them away from other teams. Read more

I believe those claw truck thingies are called Scoopmatix. Scoopmati plural. Read more
