Anyway, looking forward to the next couple of themes. I have some ideas for instrumentals, and will probably pick one based on what others suggest first as to provide variety. Latin America based music, on the other hand, I'll need to dig deep into my music collection. Outside of prog, Santana, and a Los Lobos compilation, not sure what else I have. 

Yes, Los Lobos play latin rock, I love Kiko and the Lavender Moon, but, with "music with Latin American Influences" I mean every song that draws on the music of Central America and South America, so we are talkin about songs with rhythms or arrangements related to samba, bossanova, tango, caribbean folk, latin jazz, latin American folk, raggae, rock steady, ska, mambo etc. So there is a lot of freedom of choice. For example, with reggae you can post both a Bob Marley song and some Police song.


I think it would be a nice idea, later on, to open an interactive poll also in the "prog polls" section, dedicated to prog songs included in albums not present in the Top 100 of PA.




That's what I was hoping for .

I would include Mexico as part Latin America. For Los Lobos, I was thinking of their songs with more direct influences of Mexican folk music, styles like Norteno, mariachi. Tejano. A song such as La Pistola y El Corazon.

Mexico IS part of Latin America, because Spanish is the main language spoken here. However, geographically it is now considered part of North America - which wasn't the case when I was younger, and learning my geographyWink.

And it seems that Latin American music counts as "music with Latin American influences", which I wasn't sure about  up to now, seriously. Cool

But anyway, we don't have to know the details really before that poll starts.

get those instrumentals ready to roll.. once properly fed and well lubricated I'll start the new poll this evening.

The theme..  instrumentals not to be found on PA's.  Obscure .. popular..  western or exotic.. whatever...  doesn't matter.
