Hola Gente,

I thought I'd tell you a little bit about my music interests.  I like all kinds of music.  Like any good latina, I like something that I can dance to.  I fell in love with Los Temerarios and Pedrito Fernandez when I was about 6 years old.  They are still on top of my list to this day.

When I was 13, I was allowed to go to my first Baile, only because my older sister wanted to go and wherever she went I had to go.  Well that's when the whole banda craze started (Yes, I had a bandana with "Guanajuato" printed on it).  My very first baile was Banda El Recodo and I love them still.

Then in high school I met one of my greatest friends to this day and he introduced me to Rock en Español.  Wow, that really hit home....  I couldnt believe I had never paid attention to this type of music before.  He took me to the Jaguares concert at the Fox, to El Tri concert at the Fairgrounds, then my husband and I took ourselves to the Cafe Tacuba concert at La Movida (I wish they had more of those...).  I was a hard core Florecita Rokera when I moved to L.A. for a while after high school.

Once I got married to a guy from Durango, Mexico, well the pasito duranguenze started kicking in and the story goes on and on.

I can listen to pretty much anything and dance to it even better.  Anything from Los Guardianes del Amor to Los Tigres del Norte, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, Oro Solido, Monchi y Alexandra, Franco DeVita, Caballo Dorado, Julieta Venegas, Heroes del Silencio, Cesar Costa, Leo Dan........  I can go on forever.

Music is part of my life.  Since I was 9years old I used to sing in the church choir up until I was 20.  I can associate music to any part of my life and when I hear a song it takes me back with so many memories.  Music is so powerful.

Music is definitely an essential part of life.

There's music you listen to when you're sad, in love, out of love, pissed off, happy... etc....

I love Los Tigres, too! When I was engaged to my husband, he took me to my first baile in Texas. I was in my early 20s then. Man, it was so cool! It was in a small town called La Feria, right near the border. I had so much fun!

I agree with you about music.... It is a powerful element... I don't think I can go one day without listening to music.. and I listen to all kinds of music.. Cafe Tacuba, Chente, Ramon Ayala are some my all-time favorites!
