ojala que llueva cafe en el campo

It's only appropriate that the title of my blog is reflected in my very first post. Lately I've been really loving some Cafe Tacuba, and that song in particular. Now, keep in mind, this is not Cafe Tacuba's best song, 

 

I love it, but I can see how a lot of gringos who haven't lived in Mexico would hear it as unfamiliar, and therefore ugly, but give it a chance. They're no small deal, either, so maybe you already know them. I've been a fan for years after a dude in Mexico, Ivan, introduced me. He was a huge Radiohead fan, too, so I respected his opinion and was very pleased. Since then they've gone on to even more fame, and I would relish the chance to see them in concert sometime.


Thanks to this being stuck in my head for the last several days, I was curious enough to find out it was originally written and performed by a musician from the Dominican, Juan Luis Guerra, so props to that dude.
