Apple TV IPod Latin Ad : Mi Swing Es Tropical [UPDATED]

iPod Latin Ad Now, I’m a big Apple fan. It is not that i’m a “fanboy” about their computers – it is just that I appreciate (and addicted) to good design, quality products and effect user interfaces. I also admire Steve Jobs.

Now, with that disclaimer and biased opinion of mine out of the way – I’m very glad they are putting more Latin music in their marketing. They just finished releasing a new IPod advertisement that features some Latin musicians and dancers with a bit more Latin feel to it than most of their previous commercials. If you did not know about Apple Inc, they are the ones that made that amazing little device that all of us salsero(a)s enjoy: the iPod .

With that said, you can spot a couple of salsa dancer silhouettes in the commercial. I am really digging the colors they also chose for the atmosphere.

You can view the full commercial here. This is my favorite IPod commercial to date! Thanks Steve! :-)

Featuring Mi Swing Es Tropical by Nickodemus & Quantic featuring Tempo

[UPDATED]: Posted the video from YouTbe (since Apple replaced with a Beatles ad). Also found the original music video of the full song.

More Random Stuff : Might Morphin’ Salsa Ranger.. [Updated]

Black Power Ranger does Salsa As you know, we ended up going to Los Angeles (2007) West Coast Salsa Congress a couple of weeks ago. To my surprise, I ended up meeting someone that I 'knew' from my childhood. As you can already tell, I used to watch this show called the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers – old kid's tv show where these teenagers had special powers to do some ninja butt-kicking. Anyways, to my surprise at the salsa congress – the Black Power Ranger now does salsa! His name is Walter Jones (known as Zack in the MMPR). I got a chance to meet him and talk to him for a bit on the saturday night event.

Who would have imagined? Well after doing a little more research, it ends up being he is pretty big in the LA Salsa scene. Even so – they were the 2004 Mayan World Salsa Champions! Impressive! I have a deep respect for people who support salsa. And for an actor (celebrity) to also be very supportive of the salsa scene requires great praise from all of us. It more than what most do.

[Updated] You can see his mad ranger skills (aerials) here:
