Gee y'aw aughta move to an area with tons of Latin people in it. Then you could listen to the radio and Latin music at the same time. We have like 12 Spanish language stations in the Bay Area (although several are Ranchero/Banda 'oompah tuba and accordion' music, which I think you must be from Jalisco to appreciate). Plus the college radio stations have Latin shows. Oh you poor benighted people living in islands of white bread! Move to California/Atzlan and you will hear a lot of Latin music...

My personal favorite is Salsa, especially the classic Fania Allstars and the Puerto Rican legend Hector LaVoe (La Voz), and Merengue. In highschool it wasn't a quinceanera without the playing of Che Che Cole or Wilfredo Vargas' El Africano (even if "nice people" don't listen to that kind of song). And of course growing up with a lot of Mexican people, means I have heard a lot of Mariachi music and Vincente Fernandez. Not a big fan of Rock en Espanol, although I like Atercelopedes (sp?) and recall fondly the time I went to see Morrissey at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley when he opened for Los Jaguares.
