Mighty glad to hear that. If you have the energy, time and knowledge, wanna start a Forum or at least a Thread on that? Include cumbia, el son and even older forms like mambo and cha-cha. I'm right there with you (planning a post on Fania's 50th--you'll wanna kick in on that?).
BTW you hip to that internet Latin channel http://radio.batanga.com

Bachata is an Afro-centric music from the Dominican Republic. Here's more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachata_%28music%29 Some vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOXkuQ7BgaI << funny thing that the biggest festa should be in Poland. As fun as this vid is, seeing an experienced couple in a club is 10x more erotic. Another popular Latin form (and one better known) is merengue. From the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico--best be in good shape to dance this one. Give a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTXMvCAGGYY and a watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTXMvCAGGYY Then there's cumbia, originally from Caribbean Colombia but popular all over the Southern Cone: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumbia Originally a courtship dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lglU5hF22Io << make sure your chiropactor is on speed-dial for all these
