What's on my nicaPOD

I'm starting to really dig Nicaraguan music. It took a while.

Someone told me that to really appreciate the music you have to speak the language.

That doesn't apply in my case. I still don't know what the hell they are saying in these songs . . . but, in any event, in order of my preference:
  1. Guerrero del Amor- I really love this one.
  2. Dias del Amor
  3. Machaina
  4. Nicaragua, Nicaraguita
  5. The Chicken Song- My title and you'll know why if you listen to it.
