CERVANTINO

It's been Cervantino now for officially a week, and my oh my is this a great arts festival. On Saturday I saw a world famous salsa singer; that was one of the most lively concerts with people dancing everywhere. There was this one man in the front row who was really feeling the music. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. On Sunday I saw a mambo band, who is old and famous. Yesterday, because we couldn't get into see the alternative band, we went an watched a reggae band. They were great. Very political, and all in Spanish. They sang one sublime song, but I could tell the guy didn't actually speak any spanish because he was mimicking the sounds and not saying the actual words. Of course I would know that. Seeing as how I LOVE sublime. I have lost my ATM card here and had to have my parents wire me money. That was an interesting experience. Figuring out how to get a Western Union transfer in Spanish is quite cool, and I really like having to figure out things. I guess I'm feeling a little more confident with my spanish. Yesterday I went with my friend Eros to this hut thing of his friends and listened to his band practice. They're pretty good. Today they are recording their first cd, so I guess it's a big day. I like having chill nights like that. Good time to wind down.
