Day 10: A song for lifting weights

Never heard this song or artist before… but right up my alley! Thanks!

Maybe I have heard it, on 2nd thought. I can’t tell. Still awesome song.

Day 11: A song from a South American artist
I don't know any. I thought I did but it's proving difficult to find someone I know actually from South America, so I found a song that I like but have never heard before. This man is a Brazilian composer (1908-1993) I have no idea what the title means but to me the song sounds like walking along a boardwalk by the sea. Watching little fishing boats and seagulls arguing in the waves, I feel like I have a place I need to be. There's some anticipation, I'm walking quicker than I usually do and I'm distracted by all the colours and movement around me. I bump into someone and our eyes meet; in that moment I know that I don't need to reach my destination so quickly.

Divagando by Domingo Semenzato
I don't know the name of the man playing the song, just his YouTube name, Pajarillo57

A beautiful song!

Quick reference for everyone, South America starts at Columbia and Venezuela and goes south.

day 11 - A South American artist

I don’t know this band from Argentina but I’m here for Warriors homages.

Plus the translation of the lyrics includes the phrase “I have the genital hell” and I don’t know what that is but it sure is evocative.

Ok, I hate to appear pedantic, but I didnt choose the Sudamericana life, the Sudamericana life chose me...by marriage.

I think we might need some visual aids. South America is not the Caribbean Isles, nor Central America, nor Mexico. This is South America:


When people immigrate from South America to the US, they are sad to find that they are suddenly assumed to be Mexican or Puerto Rican. Each country has it's own identity, culture, Spanish or Portuguese dialect, as well as native languages that are still widely spoken. However, our white centric culture just lumps them all together.

Take that super computer you have in the palm of your hand and Google traditional music, or contemporary hits, it doesn't matter, just make sure not to mis-identify the artist simply because they speak Spanish or Portuguese

I'll get off my soap box, but I'll keep it nearby today!

My bad. Google said Gloria Estefan was a singer from South America.

Ciro y Los Persas is a popular band from Argentina and this is one of their most popular songs... I love this prompt btw. It's nice to explore new artists from other cultures.

96 Years - ? & The Mysterians
although ? did claim to be from Mars, the band are from migrant families. Who cares where they are from, this is one of the greatest records ever.

I care where they’re from because that’s the prompt? I would not post a song from the 60’s in a 90’s prompt and say “who cares when it was released?”

Migrant and South American are not even remotely the same thing and it’s a little disconcerting to imply they are.

So you are saying Saginaw and Bay City Michigan aren’t in South America? Weird flex there.

Google was wrong? *Shocked face*

We are just kidding. Well, I am. Not sure about Bry...

As a fan of maps and geography, I’m just happy being an educator

Thank God more than one person got to it before I did! I hate having to be the first nitpicker, I would've still done it though

I saw that too! I googled south american musicians  after I posted that everyone should, and unless I put in a specific country the results are all incorrect!

I'm hyped for these next few prompts I love music from all over the shop and I'm so looking forward to continuing to find new songs and artists this week!

I found this Colombian singer recently, unfortunately my Spanish is atrocious so although Google is crap for a lot of reasons, I do appreciate Google translate
