The Latin Poets

Artist: The Latin Poets
LP: 7" single
Song: "Viva La Musica!"
[ listen ]

Though "poets" may be too strong a word, you've got to admit this 1988 rap song by Mexican-American duo The Latin Poets is awfully catchy. The single was co-produced by Michael Sembello and executive produced by Jellybean, who also did lots of work with Madonna in the early '80s when he was extremely sexy. It's hard to imagine a grown man wanting to be called "Jellybean"—but then I also wouldn't have imagined grown men wanting to wear their sports socks yanked up over their pant legs.
