Regardless of what culture we are in right now, I believe most of us will still go back to their heritage... to the fundamental culture they were raised up, brought up, or exposed to.
In my case, I grew up into various cultures - Filipino culture (of course), American culture, Spanish culture and the Chinese culture. It was like gulping the Philippines, United States, Spain, and China into my being.
While growing up, I used to imbibe the American Pop Culture especially the US mainstream pop music. Yet, when I reached my teenage years particularly around 15 years old (which is about 5 years before) up till now, I've learned to embrace my Hispanic heritage.
I've learned to appreciate and give importance to its culture and above all, the Castilian and Latin pop music.
In fact, here are some of International Spanish and Latin American artists that I admire and support:
Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Alejandro Sanz, Marc Anthony and many more.
And I believe by pinning my ears back to their well-defined Hispanic sounds and rhythm, somehow I can live through again my Hispanic culture in my own little way.
