\u2014Feast of St. Nectarius <\/a><\/em><\/div>\n

Hola! The world is a mighty big place. I read recently<\/a> that Catholics in the United States make up only 6% of the world wide population of Catholics<\/a>. So for this edition of Music for Mondays (M\u00fasica Lunes), we\u2019re going to venture out into the musical world of our Catholic brothers and sisters from Spain and Latin America.
\n<\/a>
\nThe inspiration for this? Two events: a) The trapped Chilean miners<\/a> are very close to being rescued(!) and b) on Saturday, in my town, my family and I went to a Latino Street festival. We had great food, heard fantastic music, and saw wonderful dances, and beautiful costumes. We saw lots of crucifixes too. Our kids got their \u201cpassports\u201d stamped and visited Spain, Chile, Paraguy, Uraguy, Argentina, Brazil, and every other country in Central and South America.<\/p>\n

We ate tamales from Mexico, Brazilian empanadas, Cuban toasted sandwiches, and pastries from Argentina. We drank peach and manadarin orange flavored sodas from Mexico. We were stuffed! After coming home, I wondered what kind of Christian music I could find that brings this culture to life. The problem? I took German in high school and learned a bit of Arabic in the Marines. So I\u2019m clueless about Spanish. But I know what gets my toes tappin\u2019 so come have a listen!<\/p>\n

Or maybe this happened,<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=__vEIA4eg5I<\/a>\n

Not yet amigos! First, the music\u2026<\/p>\n

The Artists? I have no idea. The sound and visuals? 8 minutes of Bueno!
\n[http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BRSFjNS7zeA&feature=related]<\/p>\n

The Artists are unknown again (if you know, put them in the comm box!) I like how whoever posted these first three video mixes asks everyone to head to adoration: Do not forget to visit your parish Eucharist Jesus as He is in the tabernacle waiting for you to visit and also completely live via Internet 24 \/ 7 at: www.radioeucaristia.com.<\/em> Good advice!<\/p>\n

[http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ewQAgR7u2jU&feature=related]<\/p>\n

Wow, we burned through 20 minutes already?! Here\u2019s another 10 minute mix, merengue this time. I love this music! And the visuals? A great theme featuring our Eucharistic Lord.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zhi1Eq9neSw?fs=1<\/a>\n

Where did the time go?! Hopefully you can stick around because I want to introduce you to Sister Hermana Glenda. Evidently Sister Hermana is bigger than Matt Maher, seeing how her clips are well over the one million views mark, according to the YouTube counters. That\u2019s Pink Floyd territory! She\u2019s from Chile and for more on her background, let\u2019s check this clip (at least the first segment) from Deacon Greg Kandra\u2019s<\/a> crew at Currents in New York City,<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KsiEwKEnFEI?fs=1<\/a>\n

And now, check out her beautiful voice,<\/p>\n

Sister Hermana Glenda, Nada es imposible para ti (Nothing is Impossible for You).
\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=an5fwT18MYA?fs=1<\/a><\/p>\n

Sister Herman Glenda, Magnificat. This is fantastic!<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SB-5YTPCzAM?fs=1<\/a>\n

Boy, this edition of MfM has my passport burning a hole in my pocket. See you next week.<\/p>\n
