La vida es un carnaval....



Okay, it's not but you believed me for a second didn't you? Well at least last night was a carnival because the incredible Sergio Mendes came to thrill Toronto with his incredible music and he played this right off the bat! He was (as expected) incredible, a true MC and he had some incredible back-up (sorry I'm simply gobsmacked) in his band and singers . This was all in support of the PanAm Games closing ceremonies in an event quite accurately dubbed Panamania. Which saw the likes of Mariana's Trench, Tessanne Chin, A Tribe Called Red, Colin James, Jully Black, Wyclef Jean, Serena Ryder, Calypso Rose and Kobo Town and so many more. Impending Panamania includes: Janelle Monae, Jann Arden, A Tribe Called Red, The Roots and many more.

Anyway, as expected I made a playlist in preparation for Sergio Mendes' arrival and it is as exciting as it appears, ladies and gents your Spanish music playlist (okay, the name kinda sucks). I must warn you that as I am now on deezer, as opposed to the newly defunct grooveshark, I don't believe this is viewable on your smart little phones unless you have a deezer account. Therefore, either sign up for deezer or listen on your laptop! Enjoy, beautiful people!!
