Kate runs one of my favorite design blogs “for me, for you“. I was pleasantly surprised to know that she also sings. This is a compilation of songs that Kate and her brother have covered. They sound lovely! You can download the songs for free here.

Weekly Musiquita: cldscp
Every song in the new release, Ninos Azules from Argentinian duo Cldscp is extremely sweet. Listening to the the whole album can get a little gooey but I’ve got to say that the quirkiness of each song is much appreciated in small doses… almost like chocolate.
Weekly Musiquita: Luciana Tagliapietra
This album was released in the summer and I’ve loved it ever since. I was listening to it again last night but this time under under a rare chilly Miami night, and it sounded all the better because of it. The colder night air somehow transformed my perception of this collection of songs from something good to utterly wonderful.
Weekly Musiquita: Rita Indiana "Da Pa Lo Do"
I didn’t think It was possible to love Rita Indiana more than I already do, but after watching this video I can’t help but idolize her. The video is about the relationship between Haiti and Dominican Republic. “Da Pa Lo Do” (There is enough for two) delivers a sweet message of fraternity and unity that any country sharing a frontier should identify with.
Weekly Musiquita: Andrea Balency Trio
This song is perfect for this season, soft and sweet like an October breeze. This is their first single of Andrea Balency Trio’s upcoming EP, I can’t wait to hear the rest.
Weekly Musiquita: Veronica Falls & St. Vincent
Veronical Falls – Bad Feeling

St. Vincent – Cruel
Can’t stop listening to these songs. They’re both so good. You can stream St. Vincent’s new album on NPR and you can listen to Veronica Falls’ new EP on Spotify.
Weekly Musiquita: Helado Negro
You say Helado, I say where?
Helado Negro (Black Ice Cream) is Roberto Carlos Lange, a composer and sound artist born to Ecuadorian parents. I was pleased to find out that Lange makes music as cool as his yummy and intriguing stage name. I don’t think I can listen to “Regresa”, the first single of his recently released album “Canta Lechuza” without dancing in my seat. After following some links, I also discovered his previous album “Pasajero” where he covers songs that I used to listen when I was little, including my mom’s favorite “Celia”, which BTW is also my name.
Helado Negro – Pasajero – 06 Celia
He also covered “Rosa, Rosita”, interpreted by Brazilian artist, Roberto Carlos back in the day. This one is dedicated to my dear friend RO, who is as sweet as the song.

Weekly Musiquita: Los Amparito & Balun
I’ve been listening to music in spanish lately and I’ve been lucky to find these two amazing acts. Los Amparito is an electro-folk band led by music engineer Carlos Pesina. They are often compared to Animal Collective and Panda Bear and I must say that besides the obvious commonalities that I like from these bands, I truly enjoy the use of traditional Mexican music used in Los Amparito songs. Unfortunately, they don’t have an album out yet but you can download most of their songs for free here. Another band that I instantly fell in love with is Puerto Rican symphonic experimental pop band Balun. The lead singer, Angélica Negrón is a talented multi-instrumentalist that sweetens every song with her gentle voice and beautiful arrangements. “Medio Contenido” is their new EP and you can stream it here.
