Love

Here we are again. Some points to note:

1) La Banda "El Recodo": Banda music has a particular distinction of appropriating musical elements of colonialism and channeling a national, local, plebeian, indigenous expression, messaging a connection VERY SUCCSSFULLY.



2) Spiritism in Music: Perhaps using this word non-traditionally, I, on a recent trip abroad, encountered that many very capable musicians have a very determined, yet organically created love for themselves, others and G*d.

Music is bad for me

Murakami writes in "What I talk about When I talk about Running" about how he needs to run. A novelist holds a dangerous profession (read the book). Unhealthy. Compromising.

Music has hurt* me at times.

again,



*Original word was "fucked", not hurt.
