MUSIC: KAROL G AND GREG GONZALEZ - DESPUES DE TI

DESPUES DE TI is about someone that has passed away. In my opinion, it's a heartbreakingly beautiful song. It brings out a lot of different emotions in me.

The combination of Karol's angelic and sensual voice and Greg's amazing guitar work, put me in a dream like trance with images of small Southwestern towns connected by unpaved desert roads. I also remember narrow streets lined with cactuses and desert flowers. There were also plenty of gas stations, diners and souvenir shops.

Screenshots above are from the movie WHITE SANDS - movie critics are morons!

I am flooded with memories of cross-country road trips that opened my eyes to things I had never seen before. As a kid I did not appreciate those journeys, but now, I cherish those moments.

Greg Gonzalez is from CIGARETTES AFTER SEX. I was introduced to their music via a radio show that used to air on NPR stations; it was called ECHOES. Just for the record, ECHOES and another radio show called HEARTS OF SPACE were eliminated by NPR during a purge of programs / sub channels on both NPR/PBS. I will NOT forgive them for that!

Ambient, techno and trance music are some of my favorite musical genres. Like many others, I started listening to Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Michael Garrison, Patrick O'Hearn, Ray Lynch, Klaus Schulze and many others, when I was younger.

I hope Karol G makes an ambient album full of songs like DESPUES DE TI.

As I write this, I can only find a short clip of Karol and Greg performing this song on Karol G's FACEBOOK page. I do NOT know when or if, a proper music video will be released. I also don't know if this song will be released on a CD.

From what I understand it was performed at COACHELLA 2026.

MUSIC: KAROL G - TROPICOQUETA (2025)

The song TROPICOQUETA is from her album called TROPICOQUETA.

TROPICOQUETA is one of my favorite Karol G songs.

If part of this song sounds familiar, it's because it's MAMBO NO. 5 by Pérez Prado. When I was a kid, I remember hearing that song on the radio and in old movies.

All the screenshots I made were from a video of her performance at COACHELLA 2026 in the city of Indio in California - It's a great video and you can find it on YOUTUBE.

It was a memorable performance, and I mean that in the best way possible.

The motion of the ocean.....

Watching Karol's hips swaying from side to side is like watching the waves on the ocean. It's a beautiful and calming sight to behold. I could watch her hips for hours; they are that MESMERIZING.

Sometimes the translations are absolutely absurd!

¿Dónde esta la gente de esta fiesta?

Que vino pa bailar, no pa una siesta

A ver los que están en esta esquina

No quiero a nadie calentándome la silla

Los de aquí, los de aquí de la derecha

A ver mi doña, párese de esa mesa

Y un saludo pa la tía favorita

Que está en la cocina, dame una vueltita

Todo el mundo háganme una fila

Los quiero ver con las manos pa arriba

Bailando sin pena, sin pereza

Que еl meneíto apenas еmpieza

La mano derecha en la cabeza

La otra mano en el ombliguito

Con esa actitud tropicoqueta

Moviendo las pompis suavecito

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos!

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos!

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos!

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos!

Es que yo creo que es mejor si nos presentamos

Vamos a romper el hielo, ¿cómo te llamas?

Valentina

Jose Peter

Yo, Luciano

¿Y tú? Matilde

Carolina

Enrique

Yo, Tatiana

¿Y tú? Felipe

Ya vi que ya tienen el pasito

Estamos contentos, tamos animaditos

Bailando sin pena sin pereza

Que el meneíto apenas empieza

La mano derecha en la cabeza

La otra mano en el ombliguito

Con esa actitud tropicoqueta

Moviendo las pompis suavecito

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos!

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos!

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos! 

¡Mira como mueve los hombritos! 

Muévelo, muévelo, muévelo, muévelo

Muévelo, muévelo, muévelo, muévelo

Muévelo, muévelo, muévelo

MUSIC: KAROL G - PROVENZA (2023)

Carolina Giraldo Navarro - AKA Karol G, is one of my favorite music artists.

The song PROVENZA is from her album called MAñANA SERá BONITO.

All the screenshots of her performing PROVENZA are from her live show at COACHELLA 2026.

The look of JOY on her face as she sang, and the ENERGY launching her body around the stage was truly FUCKING AMAZING!

If you don't smile at least once while watching her show, then you need to have your pulse checked immediately, because you're dead inside.

Her performance was fucking incredible and was an example of how you're supposed to put on a SHOW!

Compare her magnificent and impressive performance with the ULTRA LAME MEDIOCRITY of Justin Bieber and Sabrina Carpenter. Their target audience seems to be the junior high school crowd and adults that act like seventh graders!

I've never heard of Sabrina Carpenter and I sure wasn't surprised by how much I disliked what I saw of her performances. The world does NOT need another disposable, out-of-touch, entitled bubble-gum pop queen! 

As for Justin Bieber, he reportedly got paid 10 MILLION DOLLARS to perform! Are you fucking kidding me?! He was on stage with a FUCKING LAPTOP searching for his own songs on YOUTUBE! The people running the Coachella festival appear to have shit-for-brains!

Karol G has more charisma in one fingertip than a dozen other performers combined. 

I have never attended COACHELLA, and after all the negative videos I've seen about it, I never will.

It sounds like mass insanity to find out that people went into debt to attend this music festival! Meanwhile so-called influencers got in for free. Just for the record, who the fuck is influenced by those brain-dead influencers? Only individuals that possess the combined I.Q. of a carrot and baked potato could be influenced by those entitled-moronic-meatbags!

FYI - The last time I went to a concert was in 1993, the same year I left California. The COACHELLA music festival started in the late nineties, in the city of Indio.

LYRICS COPYRIGHT OF Carolina Giraldo Navarro, Daniel Echavarria Oviedo, Kevyn Cruz Moreno..... As usual I changed many of the words because I don't agree with the online translator.

Baby, what else?

I haven't heard from you for a while

I was with someone, but now I'm free

Set to relive the past, I haven't been out in a while

You tell me, where are you?

It's been a while since I've heard from you

I was with someone, but now I'm free

Set to relive the past, I haven't been out in a while

Daddy, we get lost, we park and we turn it on

For the thirst we drink, and when we get drunk

We play a reggaeton song and we go somewhere we can make love

We can eat

Daddy, we get lost, we park and we turn it on

For the thirst we drink, and when we get drunk

We play a reggaeton song and we go somewhere we can make love

we can eat

Baby, what else?

It's been a while since I've heard from you

I was with someone, but now I'm free

Set to relive the past, I haven't been out in a while

Daddy, we get lost, we park and we turn it on

For the thirst we drink, and when we get drunk

We play a reggaeton song and we go somewhere we can make love

You tell me, where

What's the worst that can happen?

What's going wrong for us?

I'm outside, come out

We have pending things to review

You are a little powder that is difficult to replace

Don't know if that convinces you

We give each other a little touch through Provence

And if things get tense, the reward is in my bed

Or vice versa, why do you think so?

We went through the neighborhood for grass

Put it in the hookah so it dissolves

The chemistry is still preserved

And I will make it rich for you so that it comes back

Although tomorrow I'm leaving

Take advantage of me, I'm here

Set for you

That's why I wrote to you

MUSIC: BAD BUNNY - OJITOS LINDOS (2023)

OJITOS LINDOS has become one of my favorite songs. It's from his album called UN VERANO SIN TI.

The female singer is Liliana Saumet from a Colombian group called BOMBA ESTEREO. Let me state the obvious, her voice is stunningly beautiful.

Here's my interpretation of this song. His character appears to be a womanizer that is simultaneously dating at least four of five women. All of these relationships appear to be superficial.

At one point he drives his BUGATTI CHIRON recklessly towards a horse crossing and gets into an accident. The horse is ok, but he ends up in the hospital and NONE of his girlfriends shows up. However, his dog does appear, and he spends time with him. He realizes that the love his dog feels for him is genuine.

Love the camera work on this music video. In my opinion, the broken glass from his car looks like tears on the road.

Good luck finding an official CD or VINYL LP at an affordable price! Also, BEWARE, there are tons of BOOTLEG CDs out there!

Lyrics below are copyright of Marcos Efrain Masis, Liliana Margarita Saumet Avila, Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, Michael Bryan Masis, Roberto Jose Jr, and Rosado Torres..... NOTE - I've changed some of the words because the translations found on most websites are horrible.

For too long I've listened to my heart

days then months go by, thinking about your scent

The time has come to use reason

Before it's too late and I shatter in two

Before the sun comes up and I hit the accelerator

Let it go without brakes and lose control

We will just be two, you and I caressing each other

In the middle of time, without saying goodbye

And just look at me with those cute eyes

I'm fine with that

Today I am reborn

I haven't held anyone's hand in a while

It's been a while since I sent "good morning, I love you"

But you have me tangled, I got involved

I was on my way and I got lost

My look changed when I saw your eyes

Bye-bye to the asses, I didn't even say goodbye

I didn't look for you, no

I crash on the way

It is with your soul that I connect

Don't worry, it doesn't have to be perfect, no.

Sin does not exist here

And being wrong is beautiful

Mistakes are pleasures

Just like your little kisses

And just look at me with those cute eyes

I'm fine with that

Today I am reborn

And just look at me with those cute eyes

I'm fine with that

Today I am reborn

You and me, you and me, you and me

You and me, you and me, you and me

I don't let myself be carried away by anyone

I just let myself be carried away by your smile

And the mole close to your mouth

If I'm crazy, you're crazy

But, baby, there is no other like you, no

I want to give you sunflowers

Go to the beach and look for snails

When I'm with you, I don't look at the Rolex

Let's dance 200 songs

Nobody makes me feel like you make me feel

I speak to God and you are his answer

I learned that beautiful moments never cost

Like when you hand me the gift of your gaze

And the sun, its setting, and the sun, its setting

When I'm on top of you, on you

Mommy, I forget everything, everything

No one is needed here

Just you and me

Before the sun comes up and I hit the accelerator

Let it go without brakes and lose control

We will just be two, you and I caressing each other

In the middle of time, without saying goodbye

And just look at me with those cute eyes

I'm fine with that

Today I was born again

And just look at me with those cute eyes

I'm fine with that

Today I was born again
