Hip Hop: Guanaco
A very unsuitable post for the time of year, I know - for christmas tunes I gladly forward you to these old Puerto Rican carols over at Mudd Up :)
Guanaco is not only a kind of llama, but also a talented young MC from Ecuador. With his Pesos Pesados Soundsystem he's conquering MTV with the catchy single "Lento", a reggae-influenced hiphop song. Although a little more musical variety wouldn't harm the track, it still stands out because of Guanaco's rough voice. He raps about the easy life and the emptyness of today's materialistic society - an evil even the slums of Ecuador doesn't seem to escape. Be sure to watch the rough (but clever) video below!

His name is quite confussing,as Salvadorans refer to themselves as Guanacos.
Really? I didn't know that, you mean like 'tico' is Costa Rican and 'chapín' is Guatemalan?
So "Guanaco Hip Hop" actually means "Salvadoran Hip Hop"? That must be confusing indeed.
Exactly like "chapin", or "catracho" (which I just learned,means Honduran.)
