  • Story Text: The Backstreet Boys have arrived in Caracas as they continue their tour of Latin America.
    Howie Dorough of the Backstreet Boys, the popular five-member boy band from the United States, said during a news conference on Thursday (May 10) in Caracas that the group hopes to include more Latin American beats and rhythms in their future songs.
    "This album here plus the last album, there is a lot more Latin influence with the acoustic guitar that's been used...I think since we've been down here, we've had a chance to see a little bit of the culture, especially in Brazil, we were all really very impressed and hopefully with the next album there be a little more of that influence on there, just because we enjoy creating with new sounds," Dorough said.
    The hugely successful quintet of Howie Dorough, Nickolas Carter, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean, and Kevin Richardson recently performed in Brazil as part of a world tour to promote their third album "Black and Blue".
    The tour could be historic if the band break earnings records set by aging rockers the Rolling Stones with their infectious blend of pop, rap, and rhythm and blues and exhausting dance routines.
    The band performed in Maracaibo, along Venezuela's Caribbean coast, on Wednesday. Venezuela is their last stop on the Latin American tour which began in Brazil. They will close with two shows in Caracas on Saturday and Sunday.
