musica ligera by soda stereo is one of my all time favorite songs. for whatever reason i’d never been able to find/download the non-live version, so today was the first time i heard the original. i love it just as much.
i first came across this song in caracas in 1998. there were apartment buildings overlooking our school’s soccer field and one guy - a fat guy who didn’t often wear a shirt - would play this song and blare it out over the field every day we had soccer practice (or maybe every day and i just wasn’t there on the weekends). he’d play other songs too, but this one was played daily.
this song has been on every mp3 player i’ve had since then. it had been on every computer until this one, but i don’t download music onto it (yet, i’ve been thinking about fucking it up totally).
listen, please do. i’d love for everyone to hear this song. i don’t even want to describe it, so you can grow into it, kind of like i did the first time i heard it, all the while asking around to see if anyone else knew the name/band.
gracias totales.
nb: i checked out some of their other songs and… typical 80s fare. nothing spectacular. this is like their ‘i ran’, it seems.
