I realize that my last entry is sort of a lot of text, and all you get for putting up with it is a measly 200 x 200 pixel album cover. (I looked, and there’s nothing I could embed from YouTube that was particularly relevant.) So I’m making it up to you.
I have to give credit for this mini-tirade to Rafael. Apparently “No Te Veo” is kind of a big deal, because it’s not exactly reggaeton and it’s not exactly salsa… it’s salsaton. I’m not kidding.
“You should blog about this song,” says Rafael. “It’s a mix of salsa and reggaeton. I’ve never heard anything like it before, and I live in Miami.” Enough said.
I am not going to defend the artistic credibility of this song (because, um… it doesn’t have much), but if we analyze it from an incredibly scientifically accurate, statistical-type stance using, say, the Break-It-Downability Scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being Yawn and 10 being Shake It Like A Polaroid Picture, let’s just say that Casa de Leones pulled a Spinal Tap.
Honestly though, you can’t really go wrong with a salsa melody and good old Dem Bow.
Not to mention that it's mad fun singing along. Te vas, no me dices nada, qué pasa que ya no te veo…
