Top 8 Latin Music In 2020

- Sech "Relacion"

Sech is making the rounds with another anthem for the ladies, teaming up with Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Rosalia, and Farruko for an empowering remix.

“Relacion” is about a woman who has moved on from a toxic relationship and is living her best single life. “Everything changed now, it’s her turn,” the chorus kicks off, celebrating lyrics on self-worth and self-love.

“The remix was born out of an idea that I had all of a sudden,” Sech previously told Billboard, “and at the same time, I heard that many of my colleagues liked the song.” The first person to jump on the track was Balvin, followed by Yankee, Farruko, and finally Rosalia. “This is truly something beautiful for me,” he added.

- Tainy x J Balvin "Agua"

Who would have ever thought that a timeless children’s song fused with reggaeton would make sense? Tainy and J Balvin made it work.

“Agua,” released in July by Paramount Animation, Nickelodeon, and NEON16, laces the iconic SpongeBob intro with a party-starting reggaeton, bass, and flute melody, making it the go-to summer song for the entire family. In the playful lyrics, Balvin gives a shout out to some of the iconic characters of the franchise.

The collaboration is the lead single off the forthcoming SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run movie soundtrack, which was executive produced by award-winning producer Tainy and renowned industry leader Lex Borrero.

- Ozuna "Caramelo"

After spending his best quarantine life out on the sea and creating TikTok videos, Ozuna returns with brand new music dubbed “Caramelo.”

“Caramelo," out Thursday (June 11), is a never-before-heard song with catchy hip-shaking and head-bobbing reggaeton beats. With lyrics such as “I tried you again, your mouth does not lose its candy flavor / we let ourselves go, you are my bandit and I am your bandit,” Ozuna tells the story of two people who have undeniable chemistry.

Paying homage to its title, which translates to candy, a colorful music video, directed by Nuno Gomes, shows Ozuna in a Candyland-inspired setting as models enjoy sweet treats such as ice cream, bubble gum, lollipops, and more.

- Nio Carcia x Anuel AA x Myke Towers x Brray x Juanka "La Jeepota"

After making the rounds with “Te Bote (Remix)” next to Casper, Darell, Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny, and Ozuna -- which landed at No. 36 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in 2018 -- Nio Garcia unleashed “La Jeepeta” in January.

The chorus was born inside a jeep after the power went off at Garcia’s recording studio in Puerto Rico. In January, he dropped the first version of “La Jeepeta” -- a catchy mid-tempo reggaeton -- in collaboration with Brray and Juanka, released via Flow La Movie and powered by GLAD Empire. Three months later, and in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Anuel AA and Myke Towers jumped on the remix, bringing “La Jeepeta” to a whole ‘nother level.

Unlike the original, which did not secure a spot on the Hot Latin Songs chart, the remix arrived in April and debuted at No. 41 on the chart dated May 9. The remix later entered the top 10, pushing 12-9 on the list dated July 18, securing Nio his second top 10, Anuel’s 17th, and the first for Towers, Brray and Juanka. Currently, it's at No. 4 on the Hot Latin Songs chart dated July 25.

- Bad Bunny "Yo Perreo Sola"

Bad Bunny has dropped a reggaeton anthem for independent women who like to dance alone at the club. “Yo Perreo Sola,” which translates to “I twerk alone,” kicks off with the voice of emerging Puerto Rican artist Nesi (real name: Genesis Rios) and forms part of Bunny’s chart-topping 2020 album YHLQMDLG.

On Friday, the Latin Grammy winner dropped the song's empowering music video, in which he is dressed in full drag, advocating for sexual diversity, women’s rights and the LGBTQ community.

In the clip, co-directed by Stillz and Benito himself, the Puerto Rican singer is joined by a group of women who are dancing freely to the song. “If she doesn’t want to dance with you, respect her, she twerks alone,” reads the empowering PSA message at the end.

- The Black Eyes Peas X J Balvin "RITMO [Bad Boys For Life]"

Spanglish music is taking the world by storm and J Balvin is at the forefront of this phenomenon. The Colombian singer has been collaborating with several English-speaking artists, including DJ Khaled, Dua Lipa, and Tyga, just to name a few. One of his most popular Spanglish songs is "RITMO" featuring The Black Eyed Peas, which earned them their first No. 1 on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales (via Billboard).

"RITMO," which means rhythm in Spanish, is a new twist on the Eurodance '90s hit "Rhythm of the Night" by Italian group Corona. The new version combines futurist and Afro-infused reggaeton vibes with verses of the original song plus new additions in Spanish (via Songfacts). The hit is part of the soundtrack for the 2020 film "Bad Boys for Life," starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. While Balvin and The Black Eyed Peas' version has become widely popular, there's also a remix featuring Jaden Smith in the movie soundtrack. What's behind the lyrics of "RITMO"?

- Black Eyed Peas, Ozuna + J.Rey Soul "Mamacita"

“Mamacita” is a Latin American word which basically translates to ‘sexy lady’. And in keeping true to the term’s origin, Jason Derulo has teamed up with Puerto Rican artist Farruko to present a song primarily in Spanish, though a good portion of it is also sung in English. Derulo handles all of the English sections, while he also drops some Spanish alongside his collaborator.

This is one of those songs where if you understand the title then you pretty much understand its contents. It features the homeys feening on a carnal level for a certain lady they are interacting with. What impresses them the most about this woman is her body. And the reason they are referring to her as “mamacita” is apparently because she is from Chile, a South American country whose official language is Spanish. And what they are imploring her to do, even more than anything is to whine, as in dance in a suggestive manner.

So this song fits the trend Spanglish (Spanish and English) songs which have been rising in popularity in recent years. And its specific purpose, besides being a dance song, is to express appreciation for South (i.e. Latin) American women.

- J.Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny & Tainy "un Dia [One Day"

J Balvin is known for producing some super catchy tunes. Whether he's collabing with top artists like Beyoncé on "Mi Gente" or dropping solo smashes like "Azul," there's no doubt that Balvin has star power. After Balvin released "Un Dia" in the summer of 2020 with Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, and Tainy, fans couldn't help but wonder: What do J Balvin's "Un Dia" lyrics mean in English? We've got the answer.

Halloween at the Manor was….quite the experience. Walter Worker Miyasaki, or Miya, learned this the first time she was there for it. The bots really had a big thing for the holiday. Each year, the found and fraternal family hosted a huge Halloween party, the next year better than the last. Miya had arrived at the Manor in the middle of the summer, so she was brand new to the many events that happened during the rest of the year. The first time she heard it mentioned was from Rabbit mid-September. It was time for the porcelain bot’s monthly maintenance, and Miya was the only person Rabbit currently trusted to do it.

“Have you figured out your costume for the party?”

“Rabbit, what party? I haven’t heard anything about a party.”

“The p-p-party is the biggest event at the m-m-m-m-manor! We h-host it every Hallowee-ee-een. You have to have a costume!”

Miya finished screwing in the last part that she was working on, and released Rabbit from the restraints that the bots were put in during this process.

“You b-b-better figure out your costume f-f-f-fast! The party is on H-h-h-halloween!” The energetic bot skipped out of the workroom, shriek-singing at the top of her lungs. Miya decided that it would be best to ask the other robots about this party. Not that she didn’t trust Rabbit, she just needed some more information. As Miya stepped out of the stairwell, she was greeted by four bumbling bots yelling for her. Upgrade, The Jon, Hatchworth, and Zer0 screeched to a halt in front of her.

“You don’t know about the party?!” This was said in perfect unison, which shouldn’t have scared her, but this just showed how fast information traveled in the Manor. Miya began to ask the bots some questions, which is a bad idea. It’s like talking to a bunch of children on a sugar-high.

“Calm down now,” she said, “and talk one at a time, please.”

The bots all looked down slightly bashful, until Upgrade finally piped up.

“The party is the biggest event at the Manor! There’s food and games and a costume contest and of course music of all kinds! It’s totally radical!”

Despite the pink robot’s use of slang, Miya had grasped a better understanding of the halloween party. She walked over to the Hall of Wires and knocked on the door politely. It swung open, and she stepped into the blue-tinted, metallic room.

“Spine? Are you in here? I have some questions about this Halloween Party that I’ve heard of.”

A tired and slightly gruff voice came from the ceiling. “Couldn’t you have gone to Peter or another Walter Worker? I’m busy.”

“Well, I trust you the most to remember information the longest, and you’re probably going to be more helpful than Rabbit and the others.”

With a deep sigh and an exhale of steam, The Spine in his snake form wiggled out of the wires.

“What do you want to know, partner?” Realizing it was Miya, his disposition changed into a more comfortable one. “Ah, it’s just you. I forget you’re brand new to the Manor. Would you like a better explanation?”

She nodded her head yes, and The Spine smiled. He moved himself over and guided her over to his desk, where she immediately sat in the chair. He then disappeared, and after a few seconds, returned in his chassis and took a seat across from Miya.

“When PA Walter I originally began hosting this party, it was an expo to show off his robots and other mechanisms. Slowly, as people found the bots less scary and more entertaining and kind, the later generations turned it into a Halloween party. Six orders some of the best catering, builds fantastic games, has us bots judge a costume contest, and, of course, hires some performers other than us. We do perform, though, I promise,” he snickered. “Anyways, the best part of these performances are that some of our story songs come to life. Both Gomely and the Ghost Grinder are frequent attendees, yet both also require constant supervision so they don’t summon anything. We also occasionally end up with a steamboat in the basement, but that just happens at random no matter the time of the year.”

Miya nodded her head, understanding better what occurred.

“Thank you kindly, Mr. Spine. I appreciate the information.”

He accompanied her to the entrance doors, since the wires were quite the maze. A kiss was bestowed upon her hand, and she exited the Hall. Now, she just had to figure out her costume for the party. Over the next month, Miya created the costume only she could dream of, with the help of the other Walter Workers and one of the local seamstresses in San Diego. The morning of the party, the family was chatting about costumes and other important things. She heard Upgrade lean over to Jon and say something along the lines of “They’re bringing back the bubble room?”, followed by an eager head nod from the golden robot. Quietly, she grabbed a bagel and some cream cheese and headed back to her room to finish up her work for the day, as well as to get ready. That evening, as she touched up her makeup, there was a knock on the door. In sauntered Rabbit, wearing an extremely intricate black and red ballgown with an asymmetrical hemline and a high collar. She paired the dress with red fishnets, black knee high stiletto boots, lacy black gloves, and some stark black jewelry that stood out from her porcelain covering. Her hair was put up in a chignon, and when she pulled her red-painted lips back a pair of fangs (hopefully false) was shown.

“Rabbit, you look….amazing.”

“Thank you Miz Miya, c-c-can I help you with anything?”

“Not now sweet girl, but if I do I’ll call for you, okay?”

She nodded and exited the room. Miya turned back to face her appearance in the mirror. She had applied tan foundation to her pale white skin to give off the appearance that she was still relatively human. Her face was iridescent, shimmering from powders and gels she detailed her face with. Her long blue-black hair cascaded down her back in waves, decorated with a hairpiece containing little glowing lights. All she had left to do was to put on her costume. She slipped off her comfy button up shift dress and socks and then changed, preparing herself for the night she had coming. As soon as she arrived on the main floor of the building, the whole Walter clan (adopted, birth, robot, or otherwise) stared at the gorgeous figure before them. Miya had created a silvery colored dress, with holographic boots to match and beautiful iridescent butterfly wings on her back. She accompanied said outfit with more holographic looking jewelry and a lightly shimmering shawl. Gasps and whispers came from across the room, wondering who the pretty girl was. That soon came to a halt, as Rabbit noticed her.

“Miz Miya, you look incre-e-e-edible!”

The whole clan soon came over and began fawning over Miya’s costume.

“Get ready Mi,” said Walter Worker Camille who was dressed as a bird of paradise, “for the most….interesting occasion you’ll ever experience in this Manor.”

A few hours into the party, Miya was already exhausted. The whole house was completely transformed into a circus of spooks and horror. Many icons that Steam Powered Giraffe had sung about showed up. In the backyard of the manor, though, held the attraction most interesting to Miya. There was a thick surrounding of fog, and in the middle, a graying man holding an organ grinder like you’d see at a fair. The first time she’d approached him, The Spine had appeared out of nowhere and pulled her away, telling her that “it’s a bad idea to do anything with this man.” But now, she would make it to him and see what he had to provide.

Making her way through the thick fog, Miya heard a soft song coming from near where she had originally seen the man. As she got closer, the song grew louder, and she grew more and more drawn to it. Then, she entered the clearing where he was seen for the first time. Surrounding the man were more gray, shadowy figures, women and men dressed in clothing from all eras, dancing and spinning without a care in the world. Unbeknownst to her, this man’s song had been hypnotizing her mind. This was the Ghost Grinder, who brought the dead back to dance, as well as taking new dancers from amongst the living. Miya stepped into the circle of people, and was immediately swept off her feet by a tall man in a tuxedo, who looked curiously similar to The Spine. The music’s spell blinded her, and she was tossed from partner to partner, enjoying every minute of it.

At the party, The Spine had been searching for Miya. He hadn’t seen her since the incident by the Ghost Grinder, and had grown worried. He snagged Chelsea and Camille, and pulled them into an unused room.

“Have either one of you seen Miss Miya? It’s been a while since I’ve seen her and I’m concerned for her safety.”

The two blue haired women looked at each other, and shrugged their shoulders.

“Haven’t seen her, and I’ve been all over the manor,” Camille said. “Do you want us to help you search?”

“Yes, please. The last time I saw her she was out by the Ghost Grinder.”

Both girls took in sharp breaths. “We’re gonna need more people if we have to go down there,” Chelsea murmured quietly.

After explaining the situation, Spine, Chelsea, Camille, Peter VI, and Matter Master David, they headed down there. They all had earplugs in to assist them in not getting put under the man’s spell. Spine didn’t have to do this, for he is a robot and not a human being. All of a sudden, The Spine stopped and stared. The search party looked over, and saw Miya dancing amongst the ghosts, a peaceful smile on her face.

“Miya! Please! Come back!” Chelsea yelled to the pretty girl. Spine immediately groaned and spoke up, “Miss Chelsea, she’s not coming back. Once they’ve been taken, they’re gone forever.”

After staring for a few minutes, the search party headed back to the manor. Rabbit had been escorting the guests out, leading them out to their cars, thanking them for coming. It was around 4 in the morning so it was about time to go. As soon as the group stepped inside, a hush fell over the occupants of Walter Manor who were left. Spine stepped up.

“She’s gone.”

Rabbit shrieked, “who d-d-d-d-did this?” and then immediately shut down completely.

“It was the ghost grinder.”

All faces went pale white. Slowly, one by one, everyone left the room, heading to wherever made them feel best.

“Mr. David, take Rabbit. Make sure she’s functioning,” Spine instructed. David nodded, and rolled the sleeping robot into the elevator for the basement.

The Spine and the two Walter Workers sat there in complete silence, until Spine spoke up again: “Ladies, please put an advertisement out there that Walter Robotics is hiring mechanics.”

The women just sat there, still stunned.

“I said GO!”

They both jumped up and ran out, and Spine was left alone again. His sister lost her best friend, the company lost a valued member, and he lost the person he considered his “child.” Better to forget this.

Okay so this fic was inspired by Ghost Grinder if you couldn’t tell! Thank you to everyone who wanted me to post! Love y’all! Compliments and constructive critiscism are appreciated!

Brigadeiros Are My Rich, Fudgy Holiday Gift of Choice

New Post has been published on https://foodloverrecipes.com/blog/brigadeiros-are-my-rich-fudgy-holiday-gift-of-choice/

Brigadeiros Are My Rich, Fudgy Holiday Gift of Choice

The only thing better than a good recipe? When something's so easy to make that you don't even need one. Welcome to It's That Simple, a column where we talk you through the process of making the dishes and drinks we can make with our eyes closed.

When I give a box of brigadeiros as a holiday gift, my friends inevitably ask me if they’re truffles. But while brigadeiros may look like truffles, they’re softer, silkier, chewier, and more voluptuous. I always joke that they have a very Brazilian personality.

Brigadeiros go back decades in Brazil. The name comes from Eduardo Gomes, an early 20th-century Brazilian political and air force brigadier. Sweetened condensed milk became popular in Brazil in the 1940s when, according to Atlas Obscura, the war made ingredients previously used in desserts, like fruits and nuts, harder to come by—these candies were created by combining this new sweet milk with chocolate powder.

Like many iconic foods, the brigadeiro has a disputed origin story, but one prominent tale is that women sold these candies at Gomes’ rallies for president in 1945 and called them “brigadeiros” in his honor. (Women were critical to Gomes’s campaign efforts because he ran in the first national election in which at least some women were allowed to vote.) While Gomes was defeated, the confection named in his honor is now a standard in cafés, snack bars, and restaurants throughout the country, with fancified flavors—like churro and caipirinha—gaining popularity.

The traditional recipe is quick and easy. The only tricky part is knowing how far to cook it: Undercook it and it won’t be stiff enough to roll; overcook it and it will be too chewy, like a caramel.

Here’s how to do it: Pour 2 cans sweetened condensed milk in a medium stainless steel saucepan. Add 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter and 4 Tbsp. heavy cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Once boiling, add 3 ounces (90 grams) bittersweet chocolate (72% or 85%) and 2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder. Using a whisk, mix well to make sure the chocolate is melted and the cocoa powder is dissolved. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cook, whisking constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a dense fudge batter, about 8 to 10 minutes. If you swirl the pan around, it should hold together, almost like a pâte à choux, where the dough balls together. It’s very important to use low heat and stir constantly; otherwise, the bottom of the pan will burn before the consistency of the fudge is correct.
