Music

• Marcelo D2, incredible lyrics and the search for perfect beat,A procura da batida perfeita! A combination of hip hop, rap and samba. Best song from his cd. A new song, Dor de verdade is really good too.
• You might want to know why colombian dancers are a world leyend, get a look to these kids dancing Colombian boogaloo, or this couple dancing salsa!! woooowwwww!!!!!
• I was in Colombia for three weeks, and discovered a very cool group from el Pacifico, Choc Quib Town. It is similar to Sidestepper, but with a more hip hop sound - they are amazing. Check them out at my space and check out their video at youtube! Another video of my favorite song, "Somos Pacífico"
• Here is some hip hop from Palestine and Israel.
• If you have never heard William Orbit, you are missing out!!! His new cd is very good. My favorite song is "Sea Green". His website is also full of amazing pictures, interactive mixers. Music made absolute fun!
• Hector Buitrago, member of Aterciopelados released an incredible CD. Here is a link to his website, check it out! Fruto Real is my favorite song.
• Los Telebolitos! Another great alternative band. Last year they released their first CD. (The songwriter and base player is my wonderful friend Ivan Rodriguez)

About Colombia...

• Pablo Escobar, the head of the Medellín Cartel, has been one of the most famous characters in drugtraffic history. The eighties were marked by his armed opposition against extradition of Colombians to the US, and his strategy of sistematically eliminate all his potential enemies.
• PABLO ESCOBAR VIDEOS. Take a look. Introduction.His family. His parents. A party in the Hacienda Napoles.
• In the last few days I have discovered one of my favorite programs online, it was called Zoociedad at first and then it was called QUAC. Jaime Garzón, the host, who was a local politician and a widely known journalist was killed in Bogotá by the paramilitaries in 1999. A big loss for our country and tv quality. Take a look at some of the chapters in thisblog.
