Because I've just passed an extremely pleasant hour or so, and I thought I'd share. *grins faintly*

You know the 'recommended for you' vids on youtube? Where they tally up what you've watched often and recommend vaguely related stuff that they think you might enjoy? Well, sometimes youtube guesses right. Heh. I tend to listen to a lot of jazz, especially when my Dad and I are in the kitchen and he's cooking and wants a soundtrack. I also tend to listen to a lot of world music, because I'll follow any random music link just to see what it sounds like.

So, apparently, youtube took these things and recommended the Buena Vista Social Club (Chan Chan and Veinte Anos for two songs). And yes, I like those, they are a lot of fun.

So I was following the links along, and there was a version of Besame Mucho sung by a lady named Cesaria Evora, and that was also gorgeous and I loved it. So I followed her for a while and found a song called Carnaval de Sao Vicente, which is the best thing to dance to. And yes, by dancing I mean bouncing around the kitchen pretending I know what rhythm is, swaying and waving my hands in the air, but I honestly don't care how ridiculous I looked because it was the most fun I've had in days. Seriously, seriously danceable.

And then, browsing around, I found out that the lady had crossed paths with a lady named Dulce Pontes, who'd done a song that's been on my favourites list since watching Primal Fear - Cancao do Mar. Because I have predictable tastes, perhaps, but what the hey. The song is gorgeous and stirring, and in none of these cases do I care that I don't know what the words mean. They sound good. They sound really good.

So, um. If you wanted some music to dance to in your kitchen on a hot day? I thoroughly recommend these. Yes. *grins stupidly*
