MONDAY MORNING MUSIC: A Salute To Bilingualism...With Yerba Buena.

YOUTUBE / 5:17 / static album cover


     The group Yerba Buena sings...in English...about the joys of a bilingual girl. 
     Yerba Buena was organized by Venezuelan musician Andre Levin.


     With this song... M3 celebrates those native-speaking partners...who suffer thru our long awkward pauses, improper and often weird conjugations...and frequent hurried consultations with dictionaries and phrase books...as we stumble along in a new language.... as strangers in a strange land.
    Without their patience...we would remain...just ignorant tourists.
    An especially grateful shout-out/abrazos...to Rio's Rita and "Katia" desde Baracoa.
