Tribalistas - Carnavália
it was 2004 and we’d just made it to barcelona after accidentally spending an extra two days in london. the cause of the delay had been a bird entering our jet’s engine shortly after take off. it hadn’t been all bad, touring london was entertaining, but it had depleted our cash reserved more quickly than anticipated. we needed a place to stay in barcelona, and with a tip from a friendly hostel clerk we wound up staying with a quiet man and his two cats. he welcomed us into his home, offered us a cool drink, and put a cd into his small stereo. the first song to play, carnavália, has become a travel anthem for me- a song that when played, transports me back to that precise moment, from a trip full of incredible moments.
