Latin Music for Household Chores

Everybody loves to go out and play when the weekend comes, but if Saturday finds you stuck cleaning your casa, these songs will see you through. Let the bilingual party hip-hop of Pitbull's "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" carry you through those rounds of dishwashing. Daddy Yankee's propulsive "Gasolina" will have you passing the vacuum to a reggaetón beat. And who doesn't enjoy a lowrider groove when gardening? War's anthemic "Low Rider" will have the flowers blooming in no time.

Now that you've been roused up and out, you need to feel even more of a Latin rhythmic rush to keep your energy high while you make your rounds. !Cubanismo!'s infectious "Descarga de Hoy" will set you on a salsa-laden path to laundry-folding glory. Looking to bust a move the next time you pick up a broom? Let Down's "Lean Like a Cholo" inspire your hip-hop sweeping fantasies.

You're almost done with your duties and ready to unleash your inner weekend warrior, but you'll need one more dash of "Do it!" juice to get over that final hump. Let the big beat electro-norteño romp of Nortec Collective's "Tengo La Voz" keep you on track. Chilean turntable wizards Bitman and Roban will surely induce you to "Get on the Floor" – albeit, with a mop in hand. Puerto Rico's wisecracking reggaetón crew Calle 13 may have had other things in mind when they wrote "A Limpiar el Sucio" (Clean up the Dirtiness), but no doubt it's the right track to wrap up your household chores as you look forward to the kind of fun that weekends are made for.

Let's face it – nobody likes to spend their weekends doing household chores, but at the end of a busy week, sometimes it's the only chance. So make the most of your situación, and charge your batteries with Latin tunes that pack plenty of task-completing wallop for those last-minute jobs. Whether you get your weekend game on with the bilingual crunk of Pitbull, the Mexican arena rock of Maná's "Oye Mi Amor" or the Havana-fied hip-hop of Orishas "A Lo Cubano," this is the place to load up on music that will make even your most mundane tasks feel like a champion's achievements.
