February 2018: Carnaval is a major celebration in the Islas Canarias, Spain. It's the same holiday as the New Orleans Mardi Gras celebration. In the Canarias, MURGAS are groups of people who get together to create a song, dance, skit to present during Carnaval. There are competitions amongst the different murgas. POR UN CARNAVAL LIMPIO is a song created by the murga "Chirimurga del Timple" and it's a parody of Despacito, a hit song of 2017. It's a song to remind you to deposit (De-po-sito) your trash in the proper container so everyone enjoys a clean Carnaval. It was popular in my classes.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, composer and playwright of HAMILTON fame, has just released a new Spanish song entitled, "Almost Like Praying". All proceeds from his new song will be donated to the Hispanic Federation's Hurricane Relief Fund. He enlisted an incredible group of Latino artists to collaborate with him. His lyrics include all seventy-eight towns of Puerto Rico. Can you pick out the names of any of the towns? This El Mundo article has the lyrics in Spanish and English.
