la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what they mean! IT is really funny to watch. About one third of the music played on the radio is in English. And my favorite is when I heard a song from the 80´s, some absolute classic love song, and then i realize that it is being sung in Spanish. So ROMANTIC. I have decided that once I get the hang of this spanish thing, I don´t think i will be able to give it up. it is such a beautiful language! Okay back to the point: All in all though, there is some great music here (for example the incredible Alex Ubago!!!), and then, some not so great music here. I do miss the old school Bonnie Raitt, Iron and Wine, Norah Jones, Coldplay, Jennifer Warnes, and the other artists that never made it here in Chile. I guess I will have to wait for when go home.

Ya lo tengo un CD de Alex Ubago!! Lo compre hace dos anos en Barcelona. Pero Juanes todavia es mi favorito!

"A Dios le pido, que mi madre no se muere, que mi padre me recuerde. Adios le pido..."

Yes I am singing out loud by myself in my house. Spanish music does hang on the edges of the spectrum. Great on one end, horrible on the other. But I sure do miss the language. and you too! Oh, and thanks for the fun note! Hugs!

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
