This Song Plays on Repeat in Colombia


I hear this song probably about 10 times a day. Colombians love to blare music from their respective restaurants/cafes/apartments/houses/inns/shacks/shannies/hotdog stands/clubs/bars etc. at such a high volume that it´s actually impossible to listen to less than 4 different simultaneous tunes while walking down a given city block. And from my experiences I would suggest there is about a 75% chance that at least 1 of those songs is "Me Gusta Me Gusta" by Los Buitres de Culiacan Sinaloa. I really like this song so this is all good news for me. The only annoying part of Colombian radio is that about every minute the radio station identifies itself by making a loud screaching noise, "REEK REEK!" and a strong male voice exclaims, "Radio Uno!" or whatever the station might be. That screaching noise will forever haunt me in my nightmares.
