It`s is quite difficult to get to choose one song we like the most, each person, it seems, likes a different type of music; metal (you can easily recognize them), electronic (as soon as their mobile phones rings you get to know), pop (over here!),and other few who enjoy not only listening but dancing salsa, merengue, hip hop, etc.
