In the upcoming days we will bring you another Club Fonograma special, but don’t panic, this won’t be as long and time-consuming as our Latin Grammy FYCs. We didn’t have time to make an official post on the music that has been released so far this year. Our next article will include our favorite 30 singles released so far in 2008, with songs in any language by Latino artists. But to get you ready for it, I’ve decided to include my personal list on the best ‘international’ music so far, because we don’t just listen to musica latina of course.
