Why yes, I am a bot. I've been requested to comment in this subreddit.
Please let me know if I made a mistake!

Mongo Ft. La Lupe

• Besito Pa Ti
  
  
• A Benny More
  
  It's called Afro-Cuban music.
  
  I can't hold back though, this is also my other favorite singer. He's a Colombian artist that created a blend of Valley Colombian Music and mixed it with Pop/Rock. It created a whole freaking new sound that is extremely popular in Colombia and among Latin people.
  
  Carlos Vives
  
  
• La Gota Fria
  
  
• La Tierra Del Olvido
  
  
• Pa Mayte

FYI:


Chicha is actually slang for the peruvian version of a broader latin style called "cumbia".
I also love it deeply.


Its kinda hard to find the good stuff, since there is also a newish electronic version of it, thats all you find when you google it,
but there is a compilation called "Cumbia Cumbia" that I consider very good.


Check it out if you want to.
