Nicaragua’s Luis Enrique Won! Go Nicaragua. I love this moment. Luis Enrique is one of the Nicaraguan who represent my country wonderfully. I love him, and his song is such a hit. I just wish that I would hear “Nicaragua” more in other songs. Dominican Republic singers say “Nicaragua” a lot, but no other singers do. Nicaragua is a beautiful country, and remember, we are listening to your music even if there are not a lot of Nicaraguans here. Aventura, Wisin y Yandel, Hector Acosta (El torito), Calle 13, Don Omar, Luis Fonsi, David Bisbal , Aleks Syntek and Noel Schajris, and many more, I play your music all the time. Go Latinos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
