I hate these things but I love Colorado Luis.
The last CD I bought was: I got a gift certificate to Used Kids and bought Afro Brasil. The last CD I bought using my own money was over a year ago and that was an Immortal Technique album that I never got to see again, because that night Miles borrowed it and hasn’t returned it.
Song playing right now: None, I am listening to BBC Brasil Mundo Hoje.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me: I actually try to avoid listening to the songs that mean a lot to me because they make me cry.
Maná — Rayando El Sol. Alexi would sing this to me in the mornings or when driving around together.
A Manteiga Derramou — is a traditional capoeira song that I love to sing and hear people sing.
Los Tigres del Norte — Golpes en el Corazon. I think of driving around town with my friends singing at the top our lungs.
Molotov — Frijolero. An awesome catchy song, with awesome lyrics and the best music video ever. It doesn’t get better than this…I translated the lyrics here.
White, Orange and Green — Is an old Irish folk song, so of course it has been done by everyone and their mother. I really like the song about a 16 year old girl who refuses to let an English solider tell her what to do. She calls her self a rebel and claims that she will fight him until death before laying down her flag.
I remember seeing los Tigres del Norte at the House of Blues in Hollywood a few years ago. They played Golpes en el Corazón and I thought I was going to melt.
You can retaliate later, I guess. But see, if I hadn’t have tagged you I never would have found out you are so into Brazilian music! That’s cool! So, it is worth it.
Next, I’ve got to figure out that gravatar thing.
