Wow!!! Thanks for digging into my suggestions and for chocking this message full of your own recommendations. This is so dope!

I appreciate you taking the time to put this together! Also, I'd love to get introduced to more Latin music... I don't know it all that well, but I like it and am open to being shown more. I just put on this Juan Pablo Vega song and it's great — first one of your suggestions I've put one, but you can bet I'll be digging through your whole list.

I'd like to hear music that I won't hear in any place, and I love to recommend music that is not popular to people and then they ask me how did I get those amazing tunes, and it is amazing when I find people who also know a lot of my music.

Haha, I so relate to this! It's fun to go exploring for new tunes and then to turn yourself and your friends onto stuff that you otherwise like wouldn't find. You might've heard the term crate digging, we are the modern-day digital crate diggers, my friend. 😀

Anywho, I'm gonna continue cruising through your suggestions and will let ya know my thoughts. By the way, just started listening to Magic and I totally totally hear the connection to The Midnight. The singer sounds extremely similar and the vibes of the music are also very much in line with something they'd do! Such a great suggestion!

Hey! (Casually appearing a month later just like nothing)

Sorry for the very late reply, been pretty busy trying to create content, learning, with a client... however, I didn't forget this, haha.

It would be a pleasure to give you an introduction to Latin music, but this is my take, not what everybody listens. (Except for the classics)

Juan oh! Juan (101) Latin intro (My take)

Classics:

Songs with beautiful lyrics

To move your feets

Well, there you have! If you ever need more, you know who to call.

And no doubt I'm a modern crate digger, haha.

Actually, one of the reasongs (🥁) of why I remembered this is because recently I've discovered an amazing artist that has amazing songs in a reggae style, so I had to recommend it to you, only 2 song to not make this list bigger:

I don't think you'll like them, I think you'll love them.
