Homo Viator

When I was a music-addicted teenager, who would at times trade communicating with the family with listening to the same old songs over and over again (Bobby D., the Beatles, Donovan - am I repeating myself?), my mom saw a need to impose the following rule: "On the 24th, there is no other music allowed than classical music."

Rules in my up-bringing were thankfully considered to be less effective than trust and responsbile freedom, so this rule was one of the few ones that I had to endure. But it was nevertheless a tough one to follow. There was however one classical CD that after hearing it year after year became one of my absolute favorite CDs and I will surely pass on the tradition of my grand father and play it throughout the X-Mas days, in full-blast volume. It is called Misa Criolla and is by Argentinian born composer Ariel Ramírez. you gotta get the Carreras version though!
