Iglesias gone Wild

MUSIC

This is another fine example of marketing gone wild: Latin Grammys.

But I would rather go to the show in Miami that the one in LA. Too much politics in Florida, true, but still the Latin music community is much more prevalent there.

It surprises me that Iglesias and Sanz are being Latinos. If you go to Spain, you will be immediately termed “sudaca”, derisive for South American, and never would the haughty Spaniards accept being grouped with Mexicans, Cubans and others. Yet at the Grammys, Enrique Iglesias and Alejandro Sanz are big winners, of course, as long as they identify themselves as “Latino$”.
