Seu Jorge - O Astronauta de Marmore

What a perfect opportunity to play JP Nataf. His song "Mon ami d'en haut" always gets me going - what with his simple melodies, soothing voice, and his mad toe-tapping finger-picking guitar-ing.

I hope you all enjoy him as much as I do.
Thanks for always getting my day started with a smile, Jill and Steve!

Plastic Bertrand - Ça Plane Pour Moi

To wake up and start the day right I recommend a song with lots of energy: Los Amigos Invisibles - Ponerte en Cuatro from the New SOund of the Venezuelan Gozadera CD on Luaka Bop. Other high energy songs I'd recommend:
Bomba Estereo - Fuego - Blow Up
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs - Matador - Vasos Vacios CD
Molotov - Voto Latino - Donde Jugaran Las Ninas? CD
Cafe Tacuba - Ingrata - Re

Glad to c you have returned to this topic. Today's show has been very very good. Thanks for Serge Gainsbourg earlier.
Uuuuffff! You guys roooock!!
