(I apologize for the missing apostrophe in the word "that's" in the title. It's bugging the shit out of me.)
International music doesn't get enough shine on the Strut. Sometimes it's better to not know what all the lyrics mean, lest they be corny as hell. English isn't my first language, but it's my primary language, so I can never fully understand a song that's not in English.
I don't know much Spanish anymore, but I can catch onto some things in this song, which is beautiful. My economic development professor was really into South American music and found a way to sneak this into one of his lessons.
Los ejes de mi carreta (The axles of my cart/wagon)
They creak but I don't care. The sound gives me company and I have nothing else to think about.

For the lolz:
I hope the bikini shot does not offend the sensibilities of the women on this board. My apologies if it does--let me know and I will take it down.
This track feature's Gal Costa's beautiful voice and is so right during hot summers.

Gal Costa - Clario
Vanusa - Hey Joe
