Favorite Music I'm not that musical but lately I hear World Cafe in NPR. I listen from Silvio Rodriguez crossing thru Ednita Nazario and ending with Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga and that crowd. No soy muy musical pero escucho desde Silvio, Ednita, Mima y cuando quiero quemar carretera y conducir a 60 millas Tego Calderón.
