Gustavo Santaolalla: "De Usuahia a la Quiaca" (Literally "From Usuahia to Quiaca")


"De Usuahia a la Quiaca" was written for the film "The Motorcycle Diaries."  The music is played as the main characters are sweeping along mountain roads on their journey through South America on a motorcycle.  Since watching the film, this piece of music has become one of my favorites for traveling.  Not just because of the film in which I first heard it played,  but because of how it is written.  Somehow the composer created a piece of music that makes you feel that you should be on a journey, or that you already are on one.   A journey that begins slowly, filled with uncertainty.  A journey that grows as new sights, sounds and people come across our path.  A journey that ultimately becomes an adventure.

Gypsy Kings: "Trista Pena" (or "Sad Pain")


This song is almost in a league of it's own.  It takes you somewhere else, somewhere sad and far away.  The first time I heard this song I almost cried.  It is one of my favorites from the Gypsy Kings. It is simply a classic.  Yo tengo gusto de los reyes de Gypse mucho.  Son muy buena.
