I will see you in 6 weeks! I am so excited to set foot on Colombian soil so I will pass the time over the next 6 weeks listening to these tracks. Maybe they will help my spanish.

Michel Cleis’ La Mezcla  vs. Paul Kalkbrenner’s La Mezcla

LA MEZCLA was originally released on Strictly Rhythm June 8th 2009 by Michel Cleis. Then remixed by Paul Kalkbrenner and released November 19 2009. It features vocals by the legendary Toto la Momposina a Colombian singer who last week received the National Life and Work award from the Colombian Ministry of Culture. Michel Cleis’ LA MEZCLA is charted on Resident Advisors Top 100 of 2009 and I consider it a contemporary house classic but Paul Kalkbrenner’s remix is my personal favorite. It is almost unrecognizable from the original except for an edited cut of the famous LA MEZCLA melody.
