In The Heights

So I've been posting some kind of serious things here recently, which is strange because most people know I'm not very serious at all. So now I'm going to write about something completely irrelevant to anyone else, my current obsession with In The Heights.

If you've never heard of In The Heights it's a musical exploring a few days in the lives of the people in the Washington Heights neighborhood of NYC (hence the title).

I'm not going to talk to much about the show itself but you can find the story here or here (if you'd like the more complete wikipedia explanation).

What I really want to share are some of my favorite songs from the show, because well I've never actually seen it, I simply know the music.

This is the Opening/Title Song where we meet all of the residents:

it's a really nice introduction to the show and I love all the wonderful styles of Latin music that are displayed.

And this has come to be one of my absolute favorite songs in the show (and I have a lot of favs). It's just so much fun, so playful, and happy, taking place right before the tragic part of the play.

So that's all I'm going to share about the play for now. I just am absolutely obsessed with all of the music (especially Carnaval) and had to share my obsession with someone else.

Peace and Love.
