Cuatro Clásicos de Cuba

Después de la salida del grupo la Buena Vista Social Club, el mundo empezó conocer más sobre la música tradicional de la isla de Cuba. El album tuve mucho exito y incluye varios hits inolvidables, sin embargo yo quiero presentar cuatro temas más para incluir si o si a su colección Cubana.

Una voz inconfundible de Ibrahim Ferrer (un integrante del disco Buena Vista Social Club)



Otro clásico Beny More con su orquestra gigante y "Como Fue"


Septeto Nacional Ignacio Piñeiro


Y otro de Compay Segundo (otro integrante del disco Buena Vista Social Club)

Che Boludo!!!!

For those who are unfamiliar with Argentine and in particular Argentine Rio Platense Spanish than the phrase of "Che Boludo!" is probably unfamiliar. However the Argentine capital of Buenos Aires it is as common as a SoCal surfers use of "Dude." In fact, the phrase has inspired the creation of phrase book masterpiece "Che Boludo" by American James Bracken. The phrase can be heard on streets between maddening traffic, in the soccer stands after a player makes an errant pass, and between almost any male conversation between friends or acquaintances. The phrase has even been adopted by girls, as they also frequently refer to friends as "Boluda". However, be careful when carelessly slinging around "Boludo" as it can be the easiest way to start a fight with a passer-by. Also, don't refer to elderly folks with "Boludo" as it directly translated into English means "Big balled Guy!"

This is a link to a song featured on the new Reggae's Gone Country Album which was recently released. The album shows some of the common points both musical genres share as reggae artists belt out their favorite country classics. An interesting history of this musical connection can be found in a good article on NPR's website.

Este es un link a un tema que es en el nuevo álbum "Reggae´s Gone Country" que recién fue estrenado. El álbum muestra algunos de los puntos en común de los dos generos musicales.
