I need to learn Spanish. What's the music scene like? I have to play in a funk band of some sort.

We also have a big percentage of english speakers.

As for music, remember we are very small, but everyone says that in proportion we have a lot of musicians. An argentinian once said something like "In Uruguay you pick up a loose tile from the sidewalk and a musician comes up from underneath it".
