A little freestyle history.

 Do you know what Latin Freestyle is?As said by Judy Torres ”Freestyle songs are like really dramatic Spanish soap operas — being in love, breaking up, catching someone cheating on you — intense and passionate, slightly overdramatic."Have any of you ever listen to latin freestyle? I think mostly everybody here has listen to Freestyle without even knowing it,I love latin freestyle I have been listening to it since I was little. I remember my mom and her friends always listening to it while doing their make up and getting ready to go out. Ever since then I have been a freestyle fan and will always be. Freestyle is a very unique genre of music that everybody can enjoy and relate to. Freestyle or more commonly know as latin freestyle is a form of American electronic dance music of electro-funk, post-disco,italo-disco,hip-hop that is very popular within the hispanic/latino communities. Latin freestyle emerged in the United States in the mid-1980s and experienced its greatest popularity from the late-1980s until the early 1990s. Latin freestyle music developed primarily in the Latino communities of New York, Miami in the 1980s. It was initially a fusion of synthetic instrumentation and syncopated percussion of 1980s electro music, as Hip-hop music became more popular it was later incorporated into Latin freestyle music. Some of the most popular latin freestyle singers/songs were Cynthia, Lil Suzy, Stevie B, Johnny O, Shannon, The Cover girls, Expose, George Lamond, Lisa Lisa & Cult jam, TKA, Noel, Company B, Information Society, Sa-Fire, Sweet Sensation, Coro, Lisette Melendez, Judy Torres, Timmy T, Rockell among many others. While some of my favorite freestyle songs are, Shannon “Let the music play”, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam “I Wonder if I Take You Home”, Johny O “Fantasy Girl”, Freestylers “Don't Stop the Rock”, Stevie B “Spring Love”, Cynthia “Change on Me”, Lil Suzy “Take Me in You Arms”, The Cover Girls “Show Me” among many others. Freestyle will always have a place in my heart.
