After our library field trip, we traveled to Hollywood Boulevard for some lunch & window shopping.

Closing out the concert at the famous Hollywood Bowl stage was: the legendary band Caifanes - a band on Anita’s bucket list to view en vivo y en directo.
P.S. Caifanes chisme: they will be at the Honda Center of Anaheim in November 2024.
Definitely Soda Stereo, that's a must. They're an argentinian band from the 80s and probably the most famous latino rock band, with good reason. Any of their stuff is great, their self titled or Nada Personal specially.
Adding to that, Los Prisioneros are one of my favorites. They're a chilean band from the 80s too and they have more political lyrics, Pateando Piedras is my favorite album from them. If you're looking for something more punk, then I'd say Los Miserables, also from Chile, and I'd recommend their self titled.
Huge mention to Legião Urbana, from Brasil. Also from the 80s, Dois is the album to go with them, very similar to that same vibey rock from Soda Stereo.
Also Café Tacvba, from México. From the 90s, they're sort of a rock band but they mix up a lot of styles so I wouldn't listen to them only expecting rock. Re or Avalancha de Éxitos are two good albums from them.
Also, not rock but very important to me personally; Victor Jara. A genius with the guitar and beautiful lyricists, he was publicly executed during a dictatorship in Chile for his protest songs in the 70s. Either Manifiesto or El Derecho De Vivir en Paz are amazing albums from him, if you want to listen to amazing guitar playing and heartbreaking lyrics.
Honorable mentions: Los Tres, Charly García, Fito Paez, Los Bunkers, Gustavo Cerati (obvs)
I'm missing a lot but for now I hope this helps a little and you give any of these a listen :) thank you so much for asking
Alrededor de estas fechas hace tan solo 29 años, la banda de rock Caifanes lanzó uno de sus álbumes mas famosos de la época, y no solo de esa época, apuetso que todos nosotros hemos escuchado al menos una vez la canción ‘Afuera’.
Sin embargo este álbum tiene varias canciones igual de geniales, como ‘Aquí no es así ‘ o ‘ Pero nunca me caí ‘ ( si no las conoces no eres mexicano 👿).
Siendo objetivos este es un album realmente bueno, fusiona aspectos claro del rock, pop e incluso jazz.
Es un álbum muy variado con una canción para todos, ya sea que prefieran disfrutar el ritmo y la letra de canciones mas melancólicas como ‘Ayer me dijo un ave’ y ‘La llorona’, o prefieras bailar y cantar a todo pulmón con ‘ Afuera’, ‘Aquí no es así’ o mi fav ‘Aviéntame ‘.
