[518] quien a hierro mata, a hierro termina
More curling today, more snowboarding, more telling Snoop Dogg to fuck right off already in between aggravating emails from sales. Just a couple more hours until I'm free (I'm saving today's figure skating and the opening ceremonies for when I get home and am high off my ass). I have excellent tickets to all nine (!!) wrestling events I wish to attend in the coming months, so it's time to start locking down my travel and accommodations (some of those windows are going to be tight). Mom has finally signed her new employment contract after months of doom spiraling over her company being purchased, so hopefully she'll stop stressing about it (and persistently stressing me out about it in turn). Just hoping to try and... reset.
Wikipedia Sez: Siembra (transl. "Sowing") is the second collaborative studio album by Panamanian singer and songwriter Rubén Blades and Puerto Rican-American singer and trombonist Willie Colón. It was released through Fania Records on 7 September 1978. It was the best selling salsa album in the history of salsa music. The album was recorded by Jerry Masucci and Johnny Pacheco at the La Tierra Sound Studios between 1977 and 1978.
Genre: Latin
Styles: New York Salsa, Salsa, Tropical (which is distinct from my existing Tropica category, apparently)
Release Date: September 7th, 1978
Prior Familiarity: None.
What I Did While Listening: Should I get rid of this section? It's almost always just 'puttered around, picking at the endless series of chores that is adult life, got tired, stared at the ceiling for a little while, dance break'. Maybe it has outlived its usefulness. Maybe I've outlived its usefulness.
Verdict: Very samey throughout, as with so many international albums, but holy SHIT does it make you want to dance. Fantastic beatz, lots of great trombone solos.
Favourite Song: María Lionza
