Though I live in Puerto Rico, I am not a fan of reggaetone. No matter where I travel, I hear Bad Bunny. And now he will be performing at the Super Bowl. How are we supposed to MAGA when we can’t understand what he’s saying! To be clear, it’s not because he’s singing in Spanish. It’s because he mumbles and because you need a separate dictionary to understand the lyrics. Por ejemplo, ¿sabes esta palabra? mamabicho. Neither did this reporter:
TPOL likes the other Caribbean music, namely soca (see They Call Me Mr. Fete: St. Lucia Carnival Intro & Last Minute Trinidad Carnival Guide! Everything You Need to Know And Stuff You Will Figure Out On Your Own!). TPOL also loves Afro Beats. This was confirmed by my Spotify Wrap Up.
That is why in 2026, TPOL may have to come out of carnival retirement (see 7 Lessons Learned from FAILING at My 1st Vlog: St. Lucia Carnival) and visit more countries in Western Africa. How else will I increase my Country Count? And, more importantly, how else will I lower my average listening age?
Tbh anything short of Muzak would reduce that listening age
Wow, this “More Carnival, More West Africa” angle is such a fun twist! It’s refreshing to see someone connecting the dots between Spotify Wrapped vibes and travel dreams — especially when it’s about chasing soca and Afrobeat rhythms instead of the same old reggaetón playlist. The idea of hitting up more carnivals and even venturing into West Africa to boost that country count made me chuckle, but honestly, it also highlights how music shapes our travel bucket lists in unexpected ways. It’s like Spotify isn’t just telling us what we listened to — it’s nudging us toward new adventures, new cultures, and sounds we haven’t experienced yet. If you love celebrating life through music and collecting memories across continents, this post hits that sweet spot between travel inspo and playlist nerding. Really makes you think: maybe the next big trip should start with a song.
