Music is THE universal language

I just love languages and music... Friends know that I have a voracious appetite for music (Remember my Korean craze...) A month ago, in the attempt to brush up my Spanish, I've turned to music for help.

With my very limited Spanish, I conjured these 3 words: "Aqui"= Here "Yo Estoy"= I am and viola! It brought me to this MTV in YouTube and guess what! I've totally AMOR it! The music and the lyrics... Enjoy :)



I loved it so much... I pestered Marian to bring me to buy this album in El Paso. Marian recommended Wal-Mart- hmm a very unlikely choice in my opinion. But she was right! CDs were impossibly cheap there. Much cheaper than those in CD Rama.

She was such a darling. As we were choosing which albums to get, she subconsciously gave a me a remedial lesson on Spanish! I felt that I learnt more Spanish than I ever did in class... (it must be the Spanish speaking environment.)

After an afternoon in Walmart. I finally made my purchase on Luis Foni's Palabras Del Silencio ="Words Of The Silence" (OF COURSE! I flew half a globe to get that!)


Julieta Venegas's Si= "YES"

I told Marian that I like soft rock and she recommended this Grammy awards winner album.
Apparently Julieta Venegas is a Mexican alt-rocker, so it's quite a sight to see her posed demurely in a wedding dress, against a pink background, on the cover of Si.








Maná's Arde El Cielo = "the sky burns"
(Marian taught me that the stress was supposed to be on "NA" as the sign was above "a" so in Hanyu pinyu it sounds something like ma1 na4)

Marian's favourite band...
