Ah summer, a time to work 40-plus hours, sit around the fire, gaze at the night sky-- and have parties every weekend! Now, when I say parties I don't mean college parties, but family celebrations. Everyone decides to take advantage of the incredibly short Wisconsin summer, and from Memorial Day to Labor Day, it is party season. Graduations, baptisms, first communions, birthdays, weddings, and everything in between. No RSVP needed, just put on your tacones or botas and cumbia the night away.


Cumbia Tribal to Kick-off the Fiesta

Now some might think I'm biased that I say the party starts when the tribal starts playing, but it is that Monterrey pride.

1. "Intentalo" - 3BallMTY

2. "Cumbia Tribalera" - El Pelon del Mikrophone

3. "Bailan Soleteros y Solteras" - DJ Notamix

This tune has become an absolute need at parties, don't know what to do? Just jump in place and lift your hands in the air. Because this one is for the single people out there!

Cumbia Con Acordeón

4. "Cumbia Poder"- Celso Piña

5. "Cumbia Sampuesana"- Ancieto Molina

6. "Cumbia del Rio" - Celso Piña

Oh, is there a shoutout for Monterrey? I didn't notice...

Cumbia Norteña-- For Those From the North

7. "Mira Oye" - Los Tigrillos

8. "El Botecito" - Los Hijos del Pueblo

You probably thought I was kidding when I said that you needed to shake what your momma gave you-- yeah, I wasn't.

9. "Cumbia Con la Luna" - Control

Look at those cuties! Shake it mijo, shake it!

Cumbia Tejana-- For Those From Texas

10. "Sabes a Chocolate" - Kumbia Kings

11. "Como La Flor" - Selena

12. "Baila Esta Cumbia" - Selena & A.B. Quintanilla

A beautiful homage to the Queen of Tex-Mex, Selena.

Cumbia for Those They Call "Chilangos"

13. "Que Calor" - Supermeka2

Now, the place where the party is being held might have air conditioning, but with all the raza on the dance floor, it gets hot!

14. "Yo Soy Tu Maestro" - Los Telez

15. "Tienes Espinas de Rosal" - Grupo Cañaveral


Honorable Mentions

* "Me Voy a Ir"- Jenny and the Mexicats

* "Bailen Rochas y Chetas" - Nene Malo

* "Que Nadie Sepa Mi Sufrir" - La Sonora Dinamita

* "Uptown Funk" - Cumbia Drive


You now have quince cumbias to shake, spin, and groove to. Don't know how to dance cumbia? There are plenty of Youtube videos to show you, but the best way? Have someone teach it to you! Don't have someone you say? Reach out to me.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
