One of my favorite people in the world (that I actually know well) has a VOX now. You can listen to her songs there if you like. This is good.

Here is her version of the Gypsy Kings' song, "La Montana".

Here is a very old picture of Cristen and me that we got done in a photo booth, I think. You could choose graphics to add to the photos.

I talked to someone recently about Caetano Veloso, Brazilian music, Marisa Monte, and Spanish music (like Shakira, Juanes, and Julieta Venegas) so I thought I would post some Caetano Veloso songs from a CD of his that I have called Noites do Norte. I am sure there are better Veloso songs out there, but I don't know them all. If anyone wants to recommend a better song from his library, by all means go ahead in the comments section. Eu falo um pouco em portugues. ;)

Here are some from the Noites do Norte album ...

I love that the title of the above song is the name of a famous Italian director, whose movie, L'Avventura, I love.

Here is the first song on the CD ...

Here is the second song from the album. I can't leave it out because it's very pretty. I used to play this song while driving back from lunch to my job, and I remember passing under the canopy of the trees while little bits of sunlight broke through the green leaves. It was a magical moment. Ha! I ususally don't talk like that. It's moments like those that make me want to travel more, but it's too damn expensive!
