SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (sentinel.ht) - To sell "Palito de Coco" caramel and chocolate covered coconut, a young Haitian migrant that goes by the name of La Vega composed a song to amuse his patrons.

After one recorded a video of his song and uploaded it to YouTube, La Vega became an internet and latin pop culture sensation registering 750,000 views in one month with his song being played in all the clubs in Latin America, but he has not appeared in public and his whereabouts are unknown.

His song, Palito de Coco is sung to the rhythm of Komba, a combination the "Konpa and" Mambo", Haitian mambo with an erotic focus.

It became the #1 hit in the Pamana parade and in the dance club of the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and most Central American spanish speaking countries and in latin clubs of the United States.

Bands perform the song shamelessly and it is regularly broadcasted on respectable radio stations.

In Haiti, that rhythm is called RABODAY and is from RARA/GAGA with a modern beat.

The songs usually deals wich raunchy subjects often with "double entendre" words.
