...surprised when the party begins to the sound of American rock--in this case "Money Honey" by the Tubes. Along with the Colombian cumbia rhythms popular throughout South America, teenagers buy English-language 45's by the Bee Gees and the Ohio Players. The biggest American dance is the "bump bump," pronounced "ban ban" and featured in a prominent television commercial for stylish sweaters. Many Peruvians believe it is a Peruvian dance.
