Marta Gómez!
Not only do I love this school, I love my hall, and the Honors College in general; it's not perfect, but they make such an effort to expand our horizons. Example A being this afternoon, when we had Marta Gómez sitting in the living room on the ground floor, singing, for a full hour, before she went to her actual concert this evening. Beautiful stuff; I am very, very fond of her voice, and the songs were all gorgeous. She made a particular point of mentioning that she writes and sings her songs in the style that she does because she thinks it's important to perpetuate the unique musical traditions of South America, instead of writing more Euro-American-style rock or pop. (Not that she was disdainful of Euro-American music; I'm just not describing what she said accurately.)
Bottom line: it was AWESOME. ♥♥♥♥♥!
