These songs were selected for various reasons. Some are my absolute favorites (Porque Te Vas, Je Suis Venu te Dire Que Je Men Vais, Get Out of My Life, Ko Sme Ruku Da Nam Pruzi, Rio de Mi Sevilla, El Llorar). Others I selected for their rhythms or uniqueness in their respective genres (Maracatu Atomico, Mazhar Ve Fuat, Dilbar Dil Se Pyare, La Bruja) . I love musicians who are not afraid to give bits of themsleves away with their music, you can hear this in some of these songs (Exodo, Nordestina, Naci en Alamo, Tragos Amargos). I have a tendency towards melancholy melodies so perhaps this is what ties them all together. In any case, I hope you enjoy the music as much as I do.
