I think this is the point of the year where I have to make a confession. The people who know me might be aware of the fact that I spent a long part of my life living in Spain, and that I also travelled a lot to Latin America. What these people might not know is how big the influence of this experiences has been on my music taste. Yes, I absolutely love Spanish and Latin American music. Reaggeton, salsa, bachata… Most of the playlists on my phone are filled with it. I even attended salsa classes for a few years. Of course, there are also other music genres that I really enjoy listening to. So I tried to make a varied lists, with some non-Spanish music in there to.

I first tried to find some songs that really reminded me of my life in Spain, my high school years, my first parties. Some of those songs actually turned out to be so obscure and not wide spread that I could not find them on Spotify. I also added songs that made me remember my travels to Latin America and other places. The kind of songs that when they I hear them somewhere, I immediately have to record them and send them to my friend with whom I travelled for so many months, because they make us both so nostalgic. I have to admit, some of those songs are strange, and only the two of us know why they are so meaningful or funny. Finally, there are some songs too that for me all contain a story of their own, or remind me of a special moment, a long bus ride, a game I used to play with my sister… But if I were to explain all those stories here, this would become a much longer text.
