I mentioned in my post about surviving a chicken bus trip that Nicaraguan bus drivers have a soft spot for either latin romantica or 80’s power ballads. To give you an indication of what I’m talking about, here’s the actual playlist for the 2 hour bus trip from Rivas to Managua (yes, I sat there noting down each song as it came on). Enjoy!
- “Total Eclipse of the Heart” – Bonnie Tyler
- “Without You” – Mariah Carey
- “Reunited” – Peaches and Herbs
- “Making Love out of Nothing At All” – Air Supply
- “Horse with No Name” – America
- “Torn Between Two Lovers” – Mary MacGregor
- “I Want to Make it with You” – Bread
- “Never Going to Let You Go” – Sergio Mendes
- “Woman in Love” – Barbara Streisand
- “Mandy” – Barry Manilow
- “Forever and Ever” – Demis Roussos
- “Because I Love You” – Stevie B
- “Call Me” – Blondie
- “Heart of Glass” – Blondie
- “Its a Heartache” – Bonnie Tyler
- “Holding Back the Years” – Simply Red
- “Love is in the Air” – John Paul Young
- “Seasons in the Sun” – Terry Jacks
For those of you who are Air Supply fans, I can highly recommend coming to Nicaragua and riding the buses. You will invariably hear at least one of their songs and apparently they toured here a few months ago! There was even a question about Air Supply in the Trivia Quiz I did in León a month or so ago!
