Laugh Track
What song do you come on to and why? Juan Luis Guerra's Visa Para Un Sueno. (Spotify) I picked it because it's upbeat. However I've since been told that the lyrics (in Spanish) are about the difficulty Dominicans face emigrating to the US. So I guess my show has a political message, too.
