Why do you always wear sunglasses? (from oxovanexox)

Honestly, it's part of my look. I like sunglasses and I think they improve my style. I wouldn't mind taking them off for my next album, although I'd do it just for the fans, since I really do enjoy wearing sunglasses.

Are you friends with Flex? (from Carlos Lamadrid)

I get along really well with Felix (Flex), because we started our careers around the same time. We've performed together and appeared on many of the same compilation CDs that came out during that time. Now we're proud to represent our country through music. We've also shared the stage a few times.

What do you think of people who cheat on their boyfriend/girlfriend? Have you ever cheated? (from ★ღ emi lover ღ★ ..)

Well, I don't think one should judge, but I think cheating can be avoided by having a conversation with your partner. If you feel something for someone else, you should be clear with your partner and end the relationship. To me, a man who cheats is a coward. It's not about how many women you can have, it's about making one girl happy.

What do you like more, beauty or brains? (from king tone)

All men are attracted to good-looking girls but intelligence is always one of the things a guy will look for in a girl. I'd choose both.

At what age do you think you matured and became a man? (from ★ღ emi lover ღ★ ..)

My childhood and adolescence was difficult. I feel that I had to watch over my family at a young age, so that made me grow up and be responsible. I'm grateful because now I can take care of my kids in the same way.

How many sunglasses do you own? (from marley-☆-)

Around 20 sunglasses in various colors (hahah). Personally, I think sunglasses are an accessories with a lot of style.

What makes you most proud of being Panamanian? (from musi-K)

I think the fact that more people know about Panamá thanks to all that is happening in our beautiful country. In the last few years, there's been world champions, gold medalists and great music coming out of Panamá. In my case, being able to go to other countries and having people speak about Panamá with respect makes me proud.

Who were your biggest influences in music and life? (from Sαɳdяα♡)

My father, he was the one who motivated me to get ahead and fight to be someone important in whatever profession I chose. In music, although I do "romantic style", I'd say my influences were old school balladeers and salsa acts.

Who cooks better, your grandmother or mother? (from ª└εx©)

Both of them have good flavor when it comes to food, my mom cooks really well but my grandmother was her teacher.

Where do you see your career in five years? (from ShayBaby.)

I see it blossoming. At this moment, I'm still planting seeds in my musical career so I can later harvest them. I hope that in five years time, God will let me still have the energy to offer good reggae, good music and good performances for all the followers of this genre and of my career.

I would like to have been able to reach other continents and that people keep listening to me and that I am able to stay in the hearts of everyone until the lord almighty gives me life and health.

What to watch for: After stalking a cute girl and her boyfriend, Makano takes a few snapshots of the dirty blonde before slipping her a hand-written note. When she unfolds the piece of paper, what seemed to be a love letter is actually clever marketing: the note reads www.makano.com.

Get to know Makano! The Panamanian romantic style singer wants to hear from you, so leave your questions in the comments below.

Makano never dreamed of singing romantic style reggae.

As a teenager in Panamá, Ernán Enrique Jiménez grew up wanting to be like '70s and '80s balladeers José José, Camilo Sesto and Dyango. But times have changed. "It's very hard to sing ballads [these days]," laments Makano, before adding: "But now I only want to do romantic style." And with good reason. The 26-year-old's single, Te Amo, which is all over pop radio and ringtones, could become this year's "Te Quiero" by Flex.

Makano's debut album, also titled Te Amo, has remained on Billboard's Top 10 Latin Rhythm Albums chart for nearly a month. It features two romantikeo tracks that made him a star in his native Panamá: Te Va Doler and Si Tu No Le Dices. His newest single, Dejame Entrar, combines the dem bow of R.K.M y Ken-Y and the romanticism of Eddy Lover. It's "more intimate," explains Makano, "my music allows you to think, feel and reflect."

Although he's not singing old-school ballads anymore, Makano says he wants to reach listeners the same way his idols did: "My dream is that if someone does not know how to express what he or she has inside, that person can do it through my songs."
