Marissa: What kind of music do you like?
Hector: I really love salsa, cumbia, and merengue. They've got a great
, so they're very
. I'm always going out to Latin clubs on the weekends.
Marissa: Hmm. I'm not really into dancing. I like softer, more
music. Like Brazilian bossa nova for example. It's so relaxing, and so
. A lot of the songs are about love. Also, a lot of the songs have very poetic
, if you understand Portuguese.
Hector: I don't know… bossa nova is a little too sad and
for me. I prefer music that's more more fun and
. I want to feel good, not depressed!
Marissa: Well, bossa nova songs aren't all sad. You know the song “Girl from Ipanema,” right?
Hector: Of course! It's really famous. Yeah, that song has a really
tune. Whenever I hear it, it gets stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
