Caliente - 150 on Sirius radio

I have found an interesting radio station on the Sirius satellite system. It is channel 150 on my set, called "Caliente." According to Wikipedia calls it the "tropical music" station and says it plays "Salsa, Merengue, Bachata and Reggaeton," whatever those are. In any case, many of the pieces have very intricate rhythm patterns in the percussion section, offset by nicely-arranged parts for the brass section. It is toe-tapping music, although sometimes it is so involved that it is hard to find the beat.
