Musica

We were shocked... and a little disappointed, to find out that most European countries listen to American music :( We had hoped that we would be experiencing a different musical culture, but for the most part it is the same music from home. Don't get me wrong, there are Spanish artists, they just aren't played for the most part.

we have heard everything from oldies, to hip hop, to country music since we have been here. While we were out at the discoteca the other night, they played "Aint no Mountain High Enough," "RESPECT," Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and a whole slew of 90s music. It was a lot of fun to be out dancing and listening to this music, but I'm still not prepared to hear it in those settings.

So far, the only time I have experienced Spanish music is in class. On Fridays, when most of the students are tired, our teachers play music and we have to try and dissect the lyrics and their meaning. I've enjoyed it. Ellen and I are considering buying some Spanish music on itunes to work on our listening skills :)
