"Yellow" Coldplay

















This song is dedicated to my good friend JV, who spent a couple hours of his Sunday helping me prove to South African Airways that I had been vaccinated for Yellow Fever. Thank you.

"Rebel Rebel" Seu Jorge

















This Brazilian artist was recommended to me by AC. I enjoy its ability to make me want to nap.

"Whip My Hair" Willow Smith


















This song was heard today at the Cristo de Redentor statue. Jesus, despite Willow's insistence that he whip his hair, was unfazed. (Sorry this song is so terrible)

"Copacabana" Barry Manilow


















I never thought I would feature Barry Manilow on this blog, but this song was too obvious given Rio district MV and I are staying in.

"Panama" Van Halen

 















 En route to Rio de Janeiro I had a layover in Panama City. Though I didn't get to see the canal, I did get this song stuck in my head.

"Alejate De Mi" Camila


















 A regular tune on the radio in the odontologia. Funny, I can hear something like this playing at my dentist's office at home too.

"Heal The World" Michael Jackson


















Yesterday one of the lab techs asked me "Que dice en Espanol?", when this song came on the radio. Hopefully MJ's message was carried through in my attempted translation.

"Ponchito" Peruvian Band



 Today marks the first ever video on the blog! It should have been posted some time ago, but I finally found a place with fast enough wifi to get it uploaded. This was filmed on the streets of Aguas Calientes.
