What is your favourite song?
I have many favorite songs. In fact I love all music from classical music and opera to "rancheras" (Mexican folk songs) with their lyrics, some of them simple, sincere, from the heart; the Beatles (all their songs); all South American music, like "tangos, boleros, baladas" which are strong, passionate or romantic; "cumbias" and "bachatas" (tropical and Caribeean rythms and music to dance all night), "Country" music, especially Kenny Rogers, Children's songs; Spiritual songs; Guatemalan folkloric music accompanied by native instruments: Marimba, Tun (drums) and Chirimía (flutes).It seems like there's not enough room to write all my favorite songs names.

To live a happy life, to be thankful for all I have been given, to encourage people around me to search for the light that always comes even after the darkest night.
