After getting nearly crushed on his way to magic America, the migrant drifter most likely to fail posts a song that blows up on YouTube.Cringe factor is part of the viral charm. The flashy farmer must be a joke! But maybe he's the opposite of a joke. He'll sort that out for himself when he performs his smash hit at the flamboyant Reggaeton Cruise, which, thanks to subversive forces in the mainland, might be a gig to die for, literally.Thrown into the fray are three affluent Japanese sisters who'd signed up for Disneyland, not the Battle of Fallujah; an Estonian gamer groomed by the U.S. Army to draw foreign blood; an Ecuadorian jock with a chip on his shoulder reaching all the way back to torrid Guayaquil; a Liberian refugee gone-real-state-investor with a gospel to tell; and a potty-mouthed Salvadoran pupusera, who serves as an unlikely moral arbiter from afar.Patricio X. Maya's characters may be from all over, but they're all caught in a single net of immeasurable proportions. This net is our common destiny, of course -our plot- Capitalism, Globalization, and Hyperreality. Whether we cry or laugh, or decide to get mad, Reggaeton Cruise audaciously decodes the hologram of itself that much of the world has become.
