Un rayon de soleil

So just the other day at work I was happily singing out loud “Un rayo de sol, woh-oh-oh! La la la la la, woh-oh-oh!” over and over, until my boss finally snapped and asked “What the HELL are you singing??”. I had no clue what to answer, even though I knew I was singing La Pendilla’s version of Un rayo de sol. What could I say? “Well, it’s this Spanish children’s album I have and uh….”. Oh no, trust me, I now know when to avoid the blank stares of complete incomprehension. So I just said “something to bring in the…uh…sun?” (since it’s been raining every day for a month here now anyway).

Last week I thought I should start posting more, and that’s when I decided I would start posting a new series of mp3s: kiddie a go-go! Before you cringe and decide to no longer visit this blog, ever, listen to La Pendilla’s “A-chi-li-pu”. It kind of kicks ass.

La Pendilla was the brainchild of Pepe Aguirre, and most of the band members were his children or nieces and nephews. The band was originally from Spain but was most popular in South America. I can’t say I know more about this cute bunch, so if anyone wants to chip in, please feel free.

Next week: Keith Green!
