Also included is a music clip for the Latin Music tune El Numero Seis- (as the speaker grew up in East Harlem New York City).

EL NUMERO 6 (a East Harlem – salsa classic- written by Reuban Blades and sung here by Jimmy Sabater) – the story is about someone waiting for the New York Subway #6 local in East Harlem near La Marqueta- who is waiting a little too long for the #6- captures the rhythms of the Latin genre Salsa music that flowed through that part of East Harlem in the 1960s and 70s.

VERSE –(Spanish)
Apurate maquinista que hace tiempo estoy esperando el numero 6
El numero 6, el numero 6
El subway va demorado voy apurado y no aparece el numero 6
El numero 6, el numero 6, el numero 6
Mira que tengo muchas cosas por hacer
Ir a casa a comer y ver a la mujer
Y mi ropa preparar poque esta noche yo me voy a rumbear

VERSE (English)-
Hurry up driver that I have been waiting for number 6 for a long time
The number 6, the number 6
The subway is delayed I am in a hurry and the number 6 does not appear
The number 6, the number 6, the number 6
Look that I have many things to do
Go home to eat and see the woman
And my clothes prepare because tonight I'm going to go
