A mix brought together in a swirl of inspiration associated with the Mexican celebration of dia de los muertos (Day of the Dead) as well as a radio show that I heard on NPR a few months back. The mix features, mostly, music from dead musicians and songs that are played in a minor key.

I trotted on the avenue my heart opened to the unknowns
I wanted to say hello to no matter whom
No matter whom, it could be you, I'd said anything to you
It was enough to speak to you, just to calm down.

You said to me "I was pinned in a basement with fools
Who live guitar-in-hand from dusk till dawn"
Then I accompanied you, one sang, one danced
Any one who did not even think of embracing oneself

Yesterday evening two unknowns and this morning on the avenue
Two in love all dazed by the long night
And to the Star of Concord, form an orchestra with thousand cords
All the birds at day-break singing for the love
