Reddit as a while skews younger and Americans are the largest group. I know many around my age (20s) have struggled with relationships and was wondering how it is in this sub. Ofc knows it varies a lot.

Has it been mostly something casual or serious or have struggled obtaining either?

I'm writing a paper for music class and I need examples of famous\ most significant American choirs. I've already found several examples for North America, but when I went to look for Latin American examples, they were harder to come by. I imagine I'd have better results if I looked for the info in Spanish or Portuguese, but sadly my Spanish sucks, and I can't make heads or tails of Portuguese.

Chiefly, I'm interested in five countries: Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba, and Argentina, but I won't say no to other countries' examples either.

So far I've found the following:

• Coral do senado (Brazil)

• Arturo Beruti Choir (Argentina)

• Simon Bolivar Youth Choir (Venezuela)

• White Hands Choir (Venezuela)

• The Creole Choir of Cuba (Cuba)

• Mariachi de la Basilica de San Juan del Valle (Mexico)

For whatever reason, when looking for Mexican choirs results are pretty scarce.

Thanks in advance!

As a latino man let’s say you are dating a latina/non-latina woman after what time would you expect to having sex with your significant other and after what time would you lose interest if you are not having sex or kissing etc.

I know all of this could differ a lot person to person but I need everyone’s idea.

Hey everyone,

So I (25m) am a Canadian but born to North African (NA for short) parents and I lived in NA for a good part of my childhood. For those of you not familiar with the NA/Mid East culture, it is somewhat similar to the Latino culture albeit far more conservative. It is similar in the sense of how you show love and affection. But and this is to caveat, it is an exception to romantic relationships. My whole entire childhood I what I noticed about these relationships in my culture is that they are borderline transactional. Given the fact that most of them are arranged marriages etc etc.

So I just wanted to ask my fellow latinos about the relationship aspect of things. To explain what I mean by passion and fire, is that when the relationship is going good, it is phenomenal, as a male it is probably the best thing ever, but when it is going bad, lord have mercy as sandals will be flying, all the skeletons that were agreed to be buried will be brought back up, and the classic “toxic” Latina stereotype will be brought into question. For reference, I am not a confrontational person (although I will stand my ground if they are wrong, and admit when I am wrong) and I don’t like the yelling and the fighting. I work a very mentally stressful job, that pays very well, so all I want from my partner is that they understand and respect that fact and bring up things that bother them in a respectful manner.

Now to the crux of my post, I am talking to a very beautiful, smart, sweet, and loving Latina who I would love to start dating, however, I am worried about the fire part of a relationship. I am very career driver and I do not want anything hindering my progression, however I really like this woman. Now to add a bit about me, when I love someone the last thing I want is to hurt their feelings, as I take it as moral failure. However, and I do not know if she is like this, (I previously dated a Latina and it felt like I was walking on egg shells all the time) given that due to the amount that latinas love, that can translate into Armageddon over the tiniest of things. So can someone explain to me why do Latinas love that hard and why do they flip that hard, so that I can better understand her and attempt to take this relationship to the next level.

I'm a 16yo from the US hoping to move somewhere in Latin America. The main things I want are decent hiking, rainforests, good beaches, safety, and good music taste! (I have broad tastes so this shouldn't be an issue)

I'm an Orthodox Jew, so I need a Shul (synagogue) and kosher food (and little antisemitism, though I'm sort of used to it--when I was in 3rd grade my Nursery-12th grade school had a bomb threat even).

I'm also pansexual and nonbinary, so obviously I need somewhere LGBT-accepting. I'm currently thinking Costa Rica.

hey guys, so far my quince I was raised by my stepdad and I’ve recently gotten a good bond with my real dad and I want to do a father daughter dance with both of them is that okay to do for my quince ? . and when I get my shoes changed, can I have that done by one of them or obviously, I can have it done by one of them, but can I have one do the shoes and then one do the last doll , or is that not right?

not just penguinos, but most other snacks too. I noticed this with nito as well, (back when it was called something else) it was bigger and thicker and had more chocolate on the inside. now it looks sad and small and you're lucky to even get chocolate in it. i just ate a penguin now and i feel like it's a lot smaller and less filling than it used to have. anyone else?

Hi, while studying Illustration, I had the opportunity of taking a few art history classes in both, my country and USA, and it's really notorious the lack of mention of southamericans, mexicans and Caribbean artists. Art History tends to focus in France, Italy ; Dutch Republic and Spain get touch a bit less.
I was hoping to get to know a bit more about your countries in these matter, while also sharing a bit of my interest with you :)

Bellow I'll leave a few that I consider fit well into this category: Julian Amado, had the pleasure of taking classes with him, probably the most talented person I've ever met. Pedro Troncoso's Art, I really like the style he used in these paintings, and consider it a cool way of sharing about himself Cándido Bidó's Art, I think it's impossible talking about Plastic Arts in Dominican Republic without mentioning this guy, I can say without doubts that most Dominicans are familiarized with his style.

Which countries do you feel takes more cultural influences from other countries rather than their own ..for example

Central America takes a lot from Mexico With food & music

Colombia takes a lot influences from Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, & Mexico with culture, music, and food

Brazil has more African influences from Africa From the music

Puerto Rico & Dominican Republic Takes a lot from Jamaica from music & food

I would say Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Mexico Seem to consume their own culture the most

What are your thoughts ?

I am American of Mexican descent, and both my grandfather, uncle and I have a unibrow. It is said that my great grandfather was spanish. I have also had Arabs think I am arab, so I was wondering how common it is to have a unibrow in your countries, and if it is associated with spanish ancestry, especially in more European descendant places like Uruguay and Argentina. The only latin american person I can think of who had a unibrow was Frida Kahlo, and I know Mexico had some middle eastern immigration, so perhaps that is where it came from.

Like lets say someone gets drunk and makes a fool of themselves, this type of stuff.

Myself I mostly eat Bread with Cheese and Eggs and a cup of tea most Mornings.

Hi, I'm from EU and my teacher asked me to make a presentation about Latin America, and to include interesting things about it, It would be much appreciated if you could drop a fun fact or two about Latin America countries, that aren't really know. Many thanks :)

Here in Brazil, it is currently the agribusiness sector that indirectly represents 25% of the current economy, mainly for export to China.

I meet a lot of Latinos from other countries where I live. Which is why I ask so many questions in this sub. Usually, if they’re venzeulan/Cuban, they say they love the US. Although I did meet a Afro Cuban who told me she missed Cuba and would probably go back soon

Every other group, is hit or miss. They’ll say yea I like it, but I’m going back. Or I don’t like it I’m going back. or “its good enough for now”

So my question is have you been to the US? Did you like it? Why or why not?

In Panama in basically every chinese-owned (and some but rarely in non-Chinese owned) mini markets they have ready to go Siu Mai and pork Han Pao since 830am.

Some also have basic empanadas and choripanes but they’re less common overall.

What’s your local mini market to go food?

I would love to immerse myself in the music in person but don't have the oppurtunity yet. Next best thing is get it by proxy. What does the underground/local/gig music scene look and sound like? Bonus points for tracks with a similar essence as below.

I love a band called Black Mambo from Columbia but struggle to find the essence. Here is one of my favourite tracks - https://open.spotify.com/track/59lqIWJsHCkLrMWFq9HSG6?si=0880ac8f71f14e60

Thanks for your insight, from New Zealand!!

Hola everybody,

I would like to learn more about the culture of Latin America… if possible in comparison to European way of living. Do you know a book?

E.g how come Latin American people seem so happy and like to dance… although life seem so tough. How come Latin Americans have a different approach than e.g Germans who think like work work work work … and then maybe have fun in the end.

E.g how come Latin American people are so talkative, even to strangers … they seem to enjoy life more and smile more.

E.g how come I heard that there are a lot of single mothers because many people see cheating as normal …

E.g how come it is for some Latin American people a sign of love when you scream to each other while being content / passive aggressive is not considered ok.

There are so many things I would like to know. Any books or ways to find out? The series modern family helps me to understand some things but I would like to read it all in a theme book …

… thank you for your comment so far. I need to edit my post. I live in Germany and have a Colombian girlfriend. So I know her Latin American friends. Also a friend was traveling a lot through Latin American countries and experienced the same that I wrote. I know that these are stereotypes but it wouldn’t help me if we all agree that every person on this planet is individual.

I can say from my experience that typical German can be put in the same basket as Austrian, maybe Dutch, and some parts of French and Switzerland.

In contrast to this basket, there are people who typically focus more on enjoying life and not on being as effective as possible.

All in all, in order to understand, some stereotypical views …, I would really like to read more about different 21century Latin American cultures (and also Brazil if this was not considered Latin American).

Is there a book or how can I find out without living in those countries?

Nazism is banned here in Brazil, I got curious how about other latin american countries

I live in Bangladesh and I am reading the book, The People's Guide to Mexico (2012). In the book there is a section where the author's give instructions on how to purify vegetables with iodine.

Now, Bangladesh has a much lower GDP than Mexico and most other Latin American countires and is much more underdeveloped if you go by international rankings. Even here we do not need to purify vegetables, we just need to purify water. Vegetables are bough fresh from grocers in cycle drawn carts bring produce from the countryside.

My questions are:

• Is there a similar problem in your country?
• If so why? What are the vegetables contaminated with and how do they get contaminated?

Here's the section of the book I am referring to: https://imgur.com/a/JkldPwf

Hola. Live on the West Coast of the US and have spent many years teaching young kids, the majority being Latino. Always trying to understand and connect with all families. I've heard it stated many times that say in Mexico, the school is in charge of the educational experience. I've unfortunately found this to be true here too. I never assume what anyone's literacy or educational level is, but it seems that the majority of my kids do not have much parental support academically at home. ( I get that language, work, just trying to make it day to day etc is a factor ). I've found that sometimes even when I give the families the basic tools and guidance to help their kid, it often does not happen. I don't like blanket general statements but would like some insight if you have it . Most of my families are from Mexico, Honduras and El Salvador. Thanks
