"Si el norte fuera el sur", "Luna de Xelajú"

[Jory Hecht]

In preparation for your upcoming trip(s) to Guatemala, I was thinking
that I should send you all a link to one of Ricardo Arjona's famous
songs, Si el norte fuera el sur (If the North were the South).
Arjona, with many contemplative and quasi-poetic songs, is one of
Guatemala's most internationally known musicians.

Also, here's a link to a marimba classic, Luna de Xelajú (Moon of
Quetzaltenango), a song which many different marimba groups often
play. Marimba music is still very popular in indigenous highland
communities.

Hope you guys are getting excited, especially the site assessment
team. I like some of this music for work if you guys are looking for
something new while you try to turn things up a notch before the
break.

See you at the meeting tonight.
