Most long-distance bus rides in South America have some kind of entertainment. Usually, it comes in the form of a dubbed Dolph Lundgren straight-to-video action flic. Considering the alternative, this is not a bad option. The alternative is Latin American music videos. Aaaaaahhhhh !There are only two premises for Latin American songs : Love or broken hearts. That's it. The genre doesn't matter, salsa, merengue, cumbia, tango, vallenato, whatever, it doesn't matter.
The videos, by attempting originality, are all the same. Man is on a yacht with a half-naked woman on his shoulder, or man is next to a pool with half-naked woman, or man is riding a horse with a half-naked woman. The male singer - there is always a male singer - is pained because he's in love : the model on his yacht has just
bared her soul and most of her breasts. To demonstrate this, the videographer catches him and her in 14 different outfits, sometimes in color, sometimes black and white. Nauseating and mesmerizing at the same time.
But it does give you the opportunity to say something you never ever thought you'd say, "I hope this bus will be showing a Dolph Lundgren movie."
