My Argentine hairdresser and I have a SONG

Tony is my Argentine hairdresser. I will say that my friend Miranda found him first but I visit him weekly for a hair wash and relaxing scalp massage. The salon is called Thizo, it is located on the corner of Azcuénaga and Juncal about 8 blocks away from my apartment, it is very small, there are 3 hair stylists-all men, they enjoy playing techno music for their customers and serving sweet coffee during the day or wine in the afternoon. Tony never goes in to work before 2pm and usually takes a break in middle of the day to go to the gym. 


In recent weeks on the radio, at bars and clubs I have been hearing a song over and over. This past week while visiting Tony the song came on the iTunes playlist of the salon. I immediately exclaimed, "¿Quien es el cantante de este canción?" ("Who is the singer of this song?") and Tony said "David Bisbal". During our time together he not only played the song Ave Maria 3 times and told me how much he adores David Bisbal, but he also promised to bring me the CD when I see him again tomorrow so that I can download the whole CD to my computer.


Ave Maria by David Bisbal, fabulous. The chorus translated to English goes something like the following:


Ave Maria, when you are mine

If you love me, I will give you everything.

Ave Maria, when you are mine

To the same sky, I will take you.


And when I see you, I don't know what I feel.

And when I have you, I burn from within.

And more...and more with you I am falling in love.

You are what I want,

You are my treasure.

Enjoy the song! Watch out for his 10 flamenco influenced pirouettes, you can't help but smile.


¡Besitos!
