Trumpets are an enormous part of the Latin American music scene, as are the beats that follow throughout this song. Every time we heard the first trumpet diddy that is played in this song on the radio on the crazy Panamanian buses and in the pick-up trucks we rode in the back of and out on the hot, sweaty streets, we thought it was this song... but realized that it's just how ALL songs start there. These beats resonated through Lauren, Riki and I as our hips told the absolute truth throughout the Isthmus.
What's Love Got to Do With It // Tina Turner
We realized that in pretty much all ways, but especially music, Panama is just a little bit behind the times. Songs from the 80's and 90's blasted from small radios held by town locos and scratchy cab speakers through the dark Panama City nights. This one in particular got us going pretty hard. Because I don't ever really go back this far, and because everybody's Friday needs a little TINA.
