Reggaeton


Hello friends. I hope that you’re all doing great, as well as your families.

They finally moved my new roommate to another room, because another guy was sent to the hole (where they put someone who’s broken any of the prison rules). It’s a room like the rest in here, only that they keep them locked up for 23 hours a day and they only let them out each day for an hour to a small yard in that section. Now everything’s back to normal, more space and more privacy. I only hope they don’t bring anyone else to this room.

The other day I was watching the music awards called “The Source Awards” in which they award the best in R&B and Rap music. What really got my attention was the award that Tego Calderón won for his Reggaeton album. I imagine you’re already familiarized with this rhythm. If not, let me explain that Reggaeton is a musical genre from Puerto Rico that combines hip-hop, reggae and Caribbean rhythm. The best artists in this genre are: Tego Calderón, Daddy Yankee, Don Omar, Hector & Tito, Trébol Clan and some others. But like I said, it really got my attention, because Reggaeton is going international and it’s becoming a hit here in the United States, especially in Miami and New York. The lyrics are in Spanish, but the rhythm is contagious that even those who don’t understand the language dance to it.

Well, this is all for now. Until next time.

Promise me that you will...

Be kind to yourself.
Look in the mirror
and see that you are beautiful.
Make three wishes.
Be strong.
Nurture your soul.
Continue your prayers.
Let go of any pain.
Banish any anger.
Take one moment at a time.
Hear music.
Make music.
Seek inspiration.
Learn ...

Promise me that you will...

Believe in fairy tales
and in the magic of your dreams.
Find that dreams do come true.
Hug yourself.
Feel the sun shine.
Believe again.
Smile.
Seek laughter.
Always remember
that you have a guardian angel
watching over you.
Find Hope.
Find your true love.

Promise me these things...
