    It sounds very fluid. Like the words and sounds are all connected. But it's actually not that different from most mexican versions of spanish. There are even regions in Mexico where spanish sounds extremely similar to this.

    Surprisingly quite unlike the way Hispanic Caribbeans in the US speak, which sounds quite close to Ebonics only in Spanish.

    It reminds me of Venezuelan Spanish, the videos above.

    Those are youth dialects with Anglicisms thrown in.

    Venezuela is included in Caribbean Spanish. Caracas is pure Caribbean.

    The Cuban and Puerto Rican sound similar to Canarians.
    The Dominican sounds similar to a drunk Canarian.

    LMAO
