Beatles Cover band at Cafe Gringas.

Last night August 27, 2010 I went to a coffee shop in Valdivia that has brewed coffee surprisingly enough, and listened to a group of 4 Chilean guys sing Beatles songs. They were really good! Granted they lip synced, but were still really good at it and even dressed like them. When the Chileans in the pub started singing the words to the songs, I realized music is what ties people together. Even if you don't speak the same language, music is as true everywhere as emotions. We all cry, laugh, get angry and smile the same. This is a universal language everyone understands, and a hug is never over rated. After the concert we talked with some of the band members in a mix of Spanish and English. It was neat for me to hear their stories and how they started getting into the band and playing their instruments. One of the guys who was George Harrison (in the band) took out his guitar and we all started singing songs he played. Some Beatles songs, but some other bands too. It was  a great night, and my first one out late, but we were having a lovely time just sitting outside on the curb of our quiet city. I am jazzed to have more experiences like this one.
