Música, Tinto, y Sol!

Hola! I'm feeling much better now :) I actually got sick again the day after the last post so I went to the doctors on Thursday and got medicine. Now I'm doing way better. I feel like I have so much to inform you on. So that's what I'm going to do. First, I just booked a flight to Italy! (My mom is going to kill me) I'll be going there in the end of May, so be on the lookout for that post. Second, it has finally stopped raining. Woohoo! I took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday and went to an outdoor music festival being held just 10 minutes from where we live. That's the flyer for it on the right. It was awesome! There were lots of people, loud music, cheap drinks, and free entrance; a perfect combination in my opinion. That's me with my rather large glass of "Tinto de Verano"- a mixed drink of red wine and lemon soda, very yummy.

This festival kind of reminded me of being at Warped Tour a little bit. The whole thing started at noon and lasted until 10pm. My friend Brian and I got there around 5pm and stayed until 9pm. It was an overall good time. When we arrived we caught the end of a rap group called PutoLargo, who was pretty interesting in my opinion. On the walk over to the festival I was telling my friend that I wanted to hear Spanish rap because I already think spanish people talk fast so I can't imagine it getting much faster... Well, it gets faster. I didn't understand most of it. But it did have a catchy beat :)

My favorite group was the second one we saw called La Selva Sur. I think I immediately became attracted to them because they opened their concert in a similar style to the Dave Matthews Band concerts I've been to; very slow music at first followed by a full out jam session. I loved it! The sound of this group seems to come from a wide range of influences. At first I sensed a reggae vibe, but as the show progressed I heard bits of jazz and rock intertwined. Actually, I'll let you check it out for yourself and tell me what you think! This was one of my favorite songs from the show:

Hope you enjoyed that! Let me know what you think. Also, let me know of any new music you've been listening to :) Hasta luego!
