Música

I want to share some things with you. Music that I have grown fond of, sometimes in spite of myself. I still listen to my American music on my ipod a lot, which is still working, against all odds. But I have found myself craving music in Spanish to. Of course there is a lot that I don't like. The music I hate most here is cachaca. We usually call it "cha-caca" (caca means poo) instead because it is so annoying. (Jana started calling it that on accident, but we quickly decided it was the perfect name for it.) My neighbors play it all the time, but I will spare you all the experience of listening to it.

Okay, enjoy.

Bacilos. Legitimately lovely. The first one is kind of sad, but pretty.

Maná. The U2 of the Spanish-speaking world. Everyone likes them--the young and the old alike.

Juanes. Young and poppy. A little ridiculous, but quite catchy.
