[08:17.35]People have been playing the blues for many years,

[10:15.47]has spread all over the world.
[10:19.60]In the US,where there are many Spanish speaking people,
[10:25.24]Latin music is a big part of the culture.
[10:30.10]It has always been popular in Spanish speaking countries
[10:35.56]and today stars like Santana and Ricky Martin are known throughout the world.
[10:43.11]There are of course many other interesting styles of music.
[10:48.46]There is a wide variety of new music to be discovered in every corner of the world,
[10:56.33]so the next time you look for a tape or a CD,
[11:01.99]don't just look for Chinese or American music
