Music Friday

Looking for Esperanza Spalding, I found this gem by two great composers of Argentinean folk, creators of so much goodness: Manuel J. Castilla y Gustavo Leguizamon. A pleasant surprise that makes me proud of this genre, mostly unknown abroad (perhaps overshadowed by tango) and that's very special to me, because a grew up enjoying it. Alone with her bass, Esperanza shows us how sweet this zamba is.


Buscando a Esperanza Spalding me encontré con esta joya de dos gigantes del folklore argentino, creadores de tanto: Manuel J. Castilla y Gustavo Leguizamón. Una hermosa sorpresa que no hace más que enorgullecerme de este género tan poco conocido en el exterior (tal vez opacado por el tango) y que es tan especial para mí, porque me crié disfrutándolo. Sola con su contrabajo, Esperanza demuestra la dulzura de esta zamba:

Music Friday

Un poco de música para arrancar el fin de semana. Que lo disfruten!

Coachella

Last night I was dreaming of Coachella, and hanging out in Polyvore, so I thought I could put together some outfits I'd wear if I could actually go to the concerts. It was just a dream (maybe it was too late at night), because: a) I can't fly over 10.000 kms to a music festival, and b) I can't afford the Marc Jacobs dress, or the Tom Ford sunglasses, or the Mulberry shorts... yet... :P

After taking a look at the program of the shows I decided that if anyone would make me choose just one day to go to Coachella, it would be Saturday. Mumford & Sons, Erykah Badu, Gogol Bordello and Bomba Estereo all playing the same day in the same stage??? Yes, please! I know it's an eclectic mix, but that's the way I am. I think life is too diverse and awesome to be stuck in one style of anything: music, clothes, etc. 

Enough Philosophy for today my friends, hope you have a great weekend. Below are a video from Mumford & Sons and the Polyvore sets I told you about.

Besos!

Ray Lamontagne

This guy's been making me happy lately. I loooove his voice, and that kind of sad look in his eyes just makes me wanna hug him.
Bon week-end!
Besos :)
