If I were to be glibly simplistic, as is my wont, I could say that Colombia is music<\/strong>; and it could be nearly as simple as that. This is a country completely suffused with music <\/a>– it would be very unusual to go anywhere where there are Colombians without some vallenato or salsa being played nearby. As a result, the music industry here is wide, varied, and popular<\/strong>. This makes it hard for a gringo like me to come up with a top ten list of Colombian songs for the year, as there’s so much to choose from, and the music that is you hear most in taxis or buses is wildly different from the stuff blasting at a \u00a0“cross-over” bar or club.<\/p>\n

Keeping this in mind, I’ve tried to present a spectrum of different genres here, with the sole requirement that they were released this year, reached a fairly substantial level of popularity, and are songs I actually like myself<\/strong>. As such, there are plenty of other songs I could have picked; I leave it to you to choose another ten songs, so we can have a complete 2013 top 20 here. As music is such a passion in this country<\/strong>, any heated debate on what I have chosen is warmly welcomed!!<\/p>\n
