Music Month: Song of the Day VEINTICINCO

Veinticinco Music literally transports me back to specific moments where I believe I can taste, smell, feel and obviously hear a  past […]

MUSIC MONTH: Song of the day VEINTITRES

MUSIC MONTH: Song of the day VIENTIDOS

A melody has the ability to take something in its original mute form and add a layer of decadence to it, almost exfoliating an entire new level of greatness underneath it. Like a graceful silent caterpillar’s triumphant emergence from a cocoon to unveil a beautiful melodic butterfly. . VIENTIDOS As you probably already know, I […]

MUSIC MONTH: Song of the day Diecinueve

There are two types of people in this world. There are  people that got it and there are just people that don’t. Music has the best way of separating out these two types of individuals.

MUSIC MONTH: Song of the day Dieciocho

Music has the insane ability to reflect on someone’s entire being during moments of deep sadness.
