Here's a Latin number, semi-autobiographical, about an Anglo guy who loves Latin music but can't quite figure out the words.
The style is GUARA32.STY (Guaracha w/ 3-2 Clave Pattern)
Style MIDI Instruments are : Nylon String Guitar (25), Vibes (12),
(but I added) RealTracks in song: 1961:Bass, Baby, Guaracha32 Ev 180
RealTracks in song: 1963:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Guaracha Ev 180
RealDrums:SalsaGuaracha32^1-a:Timbal, b:Bells
The "trumpet solo," which is not the strongest part, is me on the Midi Keyboard. All mixed in Reaper with a little EQ and an effort to block those plosive P sounds.

I just love the musica latina,
From Miami, south to Argentina,
But I'm an Anglo and my Espan~ol
Is not where I need it to be!
Salsa moves me, merengue it grooves me,
Bomba y plena really improves me
But I never know what the singers are saying,
What're they trying to say? (I hear 'em saying...)
Chorus:
Something, something, something (mi corazon)
Algo, algo, algo (de mi amor)
Something, something, something (y besame),
What're they trying to say?
Algo, algo, algo (mi alma)
Something, something, something (porque te'amo)
Algo, algo, baila conmigo!
Dance the night away -- the night away! (Bailemos!)
Verse 3:
See them singing, dressed in the fashion,
Horns are blaring, trumpets are crashing,
All I know is, they're singing with passion,
What are they trying to say?
Repeat Chorus
