A badass, brave and capable person who faces anything without flinching. In Colombia verraco is the highest praise — this person is tough, skilled and completely unintimidatable.

Reggaeton and urban music's signature dance — sensual, rhythmic hip movement that's both performance and connection. Perreo originated in Puerto Rico in the 1990s and became the defining movement of Latin urban culture worldwide: concert stages, club floors, quinceañeras. Everywhere.

A heavy blow with a stick or club, or any brutal hit. In Latin America a garrotazo is memorable — the kind of strike that echoes.

Serious trouble, a burning situation, or a person who brings chaos wherever they go. In Colombia candela can mean problems have ignited — or that someone is pure trouble.
