Bueno not really because the Rican salsera, la India, knows that reggaeton esta muy pegao, and so she’s taking advantage of the genre. La India is collaborating on a new album titled Soy Diferente, due to be released on January 31 of the new year, with the queen of reggaeton, Ivy Queen. The album will also feature duets with Rican rapero Cheka, salsa hermano Tito Nieves, and even with her mother, Gloria Viera.

Half- Huelga on Public Transport in NYC

Today is the first day of a partial strike by two private bus lines that were recently acquired by the Metropolitan Transit Association (MTA). The two bus lines, Jamaica and Triboro bus lines, run through Queens, which is populated by 551,004 Latinos according to 2000 Census figures. Workers of the two lines have been working without a contract for about three years. The partial strike began because the lines are not officially under the MTA umbrella they are not subject to the high fines under New York State’s Taylor Law. The negotiations between the Transit Worker’s Union (TWU) and MTA continue today but if an agreement is not reached by midnight (EST) tonight, the entire public transport system including subways is set to go on strike.
