So I recently have started playing Tropico 3, which is absolutely fantastic. Being a dictator while joyous music playing in the background is great. One thing that's even better than the game itself is its soundtrack.



What genre does this song belong to? I know it says "latin americano", but it half of it sounds like something straight out of Africa.
If anyone knows this songs name or artist, let me know.

You disappoint me and you have no taste. Also, the song changes near the end. Did I mention you have no taste?

Well I, for one, am happy for your music recommendation.

Even though it IS a hard track to start with, but after listening to another Tropico track and then coming back to this I can see the charm in it.

No idea about how the exact gerne, but this particular song is called Asi! Vamos! (by "Unknown Artist" :-P). There are other videos with a list of songs/ artist, for example:
.

Most of the other songs from Tropico 3/ 4 are from Alex Torres & His Latin Orchestra. Tropico wika has a complete list of songs & artists for Tropico 4: http://tropico.wikia.com/wiki/Tropico_4_Soundtrack


EDIT: I find some of the postings here quite disappointing.

ya I don't have anything against the music, I suppose it's quite good though really not my style .) I certainly didn't want to insult OP's taste in music or anything. just wanted to see if there were more people who really couldn't take it like me.

Using that fantastic reading ability of mine I swiftly deduced the genre of this particular kind of music. At first I was not sure if it was really that simple but as I read on, my journey brought me closer and closer to the end.

-> And it is *drum rolls* CALYPSO

Straight out of Wikipedia :
Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the early to mid 20th century. It lays it roots in the West African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from Dominica and Martinique.


Of course as always, I might be wrong.

This is Calypso (or Soca, to be more precise), sounds different to me :p But there are always different subgenres, so...

Honestly it doesn't really sound like baba yetu at all to me. Just because they are in different languages doesn't mean they are somehow "tribal," lol.

It sounds like calypso to me too. But like a lot of music these days, that music may not fit into one certain category.

I couldn't listen properly because I'm at uni computers without my headphones, but it sounded Cuban to me. Check out Quimbara by Celia Cruz. That might be a similar vibe.

As a side note, the term 'latin music' doesn't always refer to music from only latin america. It often includes african music as well, since the two are heavily intertwined rhythmically.

yeah seriously, why would you bash someone's music taste in their own blog? Talk about rude.

I don't have it handy anymore, but there's a soundtrack disc out for Tropico iirc, you can find a bunch of it on youtube. It will have the artists name on the songs, you can search their stuff by looking up their name.

I LOVE tropico music, hahaha. I swear for a long time I listened to that shit on repeat forever, haha

I kept it open past 1 minute just because of this poll.

It's actually not too bad after you get past the beginning though, lol. It sounds way better than a lot of contemporary orchestral music.

EDIT: I actually finished it. Dunno what's with all the hate. ^^
