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.
My friend, Cristen, is fluent in Portuguese and plays the guitar. She loves the song, "Fragile", by Sting. Sting did a Portuguese version ("Fragil") of the song, too, and that is the one that Cristen is singing here ...
I have had the song, Amnesia, by Control Machete in my head a lot lately. It's a very relaxing, hypnotic song. It is a cover of a Jose Jose song by the same name, and it is featured on a tribute album to Jose Jose called "Un Tributo".
Here is the song ...
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!
