In keeping with our recent vacation, I've decided to haul out an old, old favourite of mine.
And no matter how many times I hear it, it has a most curious and embarrassing effect on me: I am unable to restrain myself from singing along loudly, passionately and wholeheartedly -- in tortured, mangled Spanish.
Dubious, yes. But an unabashed pleasure nevertheless.
It's a laid back summer-with-the-car-windows-rolled-all-the-way-down,
radio-turned-all-the-way-up, sing-along-at-the-top-of-your-voice kind of song.
And while, technically, it's from the wrong country (the singer is from the Dominican Republic), it's a sound we heard again and again while in Mexico.
So, here it is -- "Tranquila" by Luis Vargas:

And Mexico treated you well?
