The music different countries listen is a really good approximation to the type of behaviours the inhabitants have. And because I like music and it is also a nice way of learning some new words and understanding some cultural tendencies, today I want to talk about it.

I am the most traditional Colombian you can ever meet. My skin has goose bumps every time I listen to the folkloric rhythms. There is nothing better to my ears than the sound of a „marimba“ clicking with the „tamboras“ in one „currulao„. There is nothing better for my feet than the vibration when a „salsa“ is playing. I am one „traditional“ Latin girl, that loves dancing, and prefer round movements than square ones.

However, if that’s what I want for my daily life, I AM IN THE WRONG PLACE. So many times I’ve tried playing some reggeatton (thinking that it is not that aggressive with the foreigners) in the middle of the party, and that equal number of many times I have seen everyone running away from the dancing spot. I have seen every non-colombian jumping into the sofas and staying there until the danger has gone. And because of that I have been trying to adapt myself. Since the electronic is not at all for me, I have found some really cool reggae-dancehall group that fulfils my requisites.

Today, I want to share one of my favourite German groups, that in addition help me with some vocabulary after extensive repetition and memorizing.

Coincidentally from Berlin: Seeed in Aufstehn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6JYzOjglBs) or in Augenbling with the first high-speed sentence that I learn (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qttGJ3il62Yo)

Enjoy! while I keep trying others to enter into my dancing-mood.
