In reply to birdseye
Thats ok. She kept it decent by not do the nut sack two finger roll.
In reply to Dan_De_Lyan
I never use to pay detail attention to her - but tonight the attire she performed in did her justice – it flowed elegantly – I thought she was spectacular --- really enjoying the show – recording it for when guests stop by
Rihanna has come a long way with regards to stage performance.
Early in her career, she would be almost like a statue on stage. Very stiff. Tonight, she actually moved and performed some choreography.
Good on her

Bro you seem to be hip to the Latin genre.
Reggaeton is moving into the main stream, quicker than Salsa, Menergue, Cumbia or Bachata
Angola has a beat to watch for, the dance is call Kizomba, with its own unique beat.
Dancing is my major hobby, I have a couple of good teachers.
A number of Calypso songs, are made into different latin genres.
In reply to Chrissy
Reggaeton and Latin pop.
The Grammy's were unashamedly anglo-centric. No award for the most popular song in the world in 2017?
More foreign language music mega-hits will follow in due course - especially from Latin America and India.
thanks all - great show.
Norm is right - Anglo-Centric as always.
By the way Damian Marley deserved best reggae album. True Chronixx had a great album also. Marley edged him out on production quality for my money.

A few years back, I had 3 different El Salvadorian families as neighbors, they (especially the women) love nothing more than dancing. Specifically Bachata nonstop. I've even seen Aventura perform a few times.
Unlike you, I can't dance... I do my best, and have no qualms on the dancefloor - but a dancer pelon is not.
My immediate neighbour then was Nigerian, they became my extended family... and we all remain very very close to this day.
Any rhythm from West Africa gets me moving.

Bro, dancing to me, is like sailing to you
Anyone can learn to dance, it is like learning to walk or swim.
In reply to openning
I agree 100%. It's not the learning how... it's the 'can you dance well'... ah born wid two left feet.
I swim better than I dance, dat is for sure...
How long you been dancing as a hobby?
In reply to Chrissy
To be honest with you, I did not fully review Damian's album but I gotta say I am a huge Chronixx fan. I heard Damian's album is very conscious on many levels but again, I gotta listen to it. Chronixx made a big stink about the snub BUT he needs to congratulate Damian and grow da fuk up. I love de yute man but he gotta understand the Marley machine is very difficult to beat. He's still young tho.

As a teenager back on the block, a guy laugh some of us to dance, I dance at that time, very similar to what you see at Ousting or Q in the Community.
I married into a musical family, with two graduates from Juilliard, my daughter studied in the arts, and heard me talking about wanting to take lessons.
She persuaded me to stop talking and take lessons, so in 1997 I register with my Cuban teacher, and a few years later, I took Ballroom with Arthur Murray.
BTW, I met my second wife thru dancing, she actually asked me to dance, I excepted the invitation just to be polite. Not knowing the woman, travelled every weekend from Fort McMurray to Edmonton, to take lessons, plus she was West Indian and not Latin.
She also wanted to dance, and know she can back lead, if I was not up to scratch, the rest is history.
My wife who is close to the gold level, compete with Arthur Murray, I dance between breaks.
In reply to DukeStreet
Agree completely. I would have been happy with either one winning, but when I played the two albums side by side and even when I heard singles playing on air, what hits you with Marley is the quality of the production.
In reply to openning
Yuh really can dance man
In reply to openning
Nice! Dance is much more than hobby level for you! it seems woven in the fabric of your union.
@chrissy: do u put on dancing feet from time to time? What about at the wedding??? I confessed to my two left feet - but I would still be on the dance floor...
In reply to pelon
I'm an OK dancer - back in the day I danced a lot. Still dance for exercise.
