Puerto Rico

I am writing today from within. I write from the roots of my being. I am an American, a Puerto Rican. I am the daughter of an island born on the mainland of a country in turmoil over identity. Today, I see inaction on behalf of other American citizens, on inhabitants of an island in…

Music Monday: Moon Night

I almost forgot about Music Monday. So for your listening delight in keeping with today's theme here's the supernatural delight of dancing in the moonlight.  This is also for a dear friend who is no longer here, Linda, I remember when you played this song and danced in your seat because you loved this version.…

Music Mondays: Residente’s Rap

Residente is one of my favorite rappers. If you don't understand Spanish, then you may not understand my fascination with this artist, but regardless I am going to share. My children listen to everything I listen to because they are always with me. Usually, my oldest daughter does not like my music choices but when…

Music Monday: Girl Stuff Mary J. Blige

Music Monday: Mumford and Sons

For this installment of Music Monday I chose Mumford and Sons. Some days I just love to listen to them. I Will Wait For You to listen like a Little Lion Man in The Cave, waiting for you to Wake My Soul. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/R5HO-X_fR7o https://youtu.be/Xd8tOAJMA8Q https://youtu.be/x6rYPHmSzcE

Monday Music Mania

I first came across Snow Tha Product when I purchased The Hamilton Mixtape. I don't know why I didn't think of looking her up then. Her flow crosses the language line with ease, she's a rapper. So when the Immigrants video dropped last week I went to YouTube to look at what she's done. With…

Monday Music Musings: MAGIC

Some days I just want some smooth easy reggae sounds to listen to with the windows down and the music so loud everyone can hear it and that's when I put MAGIC on. Because sometimes I want to put on that red dress, let my hair down and hope no one kills the magic. For…
