Hello I’m Arcángel and these are my five favorite Latin things
Arcángel
What’s my favorite Latin word…it’s not something good. “Puñeta”
Arcángel
I say that everyday, all the time. It has no emotional state. If you’re happy, you can say it.
Arcángel
If something bothers you, you can say it. If you’re happy, you can say it. If you get hit, you can say it. So, “puñeta”.
Arcángel
What’s my favorite Latin dish?
Arcángel
Well I have several foods that I really like. I grew up in Puerto Rico, eating both Puerto Rican and Domician food in my home. I would say my favorite food is Puerto Rican and Domician. At the same time, it’s the same.
Arcángel
I can eat something Puerto Rican in the morning and in four hours, I’ll have something Domician. And four hours later, I’m back to Puerto Rican. It’s been like that all my life.
Arcángel
My favorite Latin vacations…
Arcángel
The only place where I’ve taken the time to vacation is the Domician Republic. I’ve traveled all over Latin America, but I haven’t vacationed in Latin America. You get me? It’s the Domician Republic, and I love it.
Arcángel
What’s my favorite Latin songs…
Arcángel
I don’t know, it might be a childhood song from when I was a kid. I love Barney. Barney was an everyday thing for me. Maybe that “I love you” is somewhere in there.
