Gracias! Gracias Rudy! You have no idea how wonderful it was to hear that music! I closed my eyes and instantly I was back in Guatemala. The sun was beaming down, Agua in the distance, and the sounds of life swirled around me. I could almost even smell it! Thank you for giving me the chance to go back for a moment, even if only in my heart. Gracias! Gracias! Gracias Rudy!

I also feel bad for not really liking marimba music, but yes, that suite is a gorgeous exception. The percussion has a very indigenous feel to the beat, and on the second listen, I hear layers of flutes I didn't notice the first time as I was focussed on the marimba melody. As if your photos weren't beautiful enough, you bless us with interesting info and music, too! What a great start to your 3rd year! Thank you for the beautiful songs to accompany my visit today.

I remember the first time I learned the word for maracas..."chinchines"...I'm afraid I didn't pronounce it properly and unbeknownst to me made a female friend blush. I've since learned how to pronounce it properly (for health reasons, that is). You Spanish speakers know my blunder, no doubt. Argghh!!!
