DIECISÉIS/ Una Semana Libre (A Week Off)

Chileblog is on vacation this week because we are, instead, hosting a party to celebrate Gaby Castro Gessner's completion of a Ph.D. in Anthropology. Congratulations Gaby! Also attending: Claudia Gilardoni, a visiting librarian from Universidad Finis Terrae in Santiago de Chile.

As compensation, we're providing a link to the Orquesta del Barrio website on MySpace. The song "Carta a Paola" was composed and is sung by Felipe Munita accompanied by Eduardo Rioseco on guitar. They performed it at Lucy and Eduardo's wedding in January 2007 and again at Felipe and Paola's wedding in December 2007. You can imagine, listening to Edo's guitar, how lovely it was for us to hear him practice by the hour throughout our last visit.

Next week: Un Día en Santiago.
