Thanks :) It's called 'Cold, Cold Summer Night' and it's in a short story anthology called 'Vampires, Zombies and Ghosts, Volume 1'.

I really liked the video RSL. And the Argentinian musician is Chango Spasiuk. He is very well known here. He does folkloric songs and he is an expert in a musical style called chamamé. Chamamé is from Paraguay, North-East of Argentina, Uruguay and parts of Brazil.  Spasiuk is very talented and, as you can see in the video, he plays the accordion.

You know what's sad about that video though? There's over six hundred people who didn't like it. I guess the point/message of the song was lost on them.

(((((Otlan))))) That is sad. To be honest, I never read the likes or not of the videos, it is better for my mental health  :P.

I'm fairly sure all of the musicians in that video are well known in their various countries. We just don't get to see much of them here (USA) mostly due to the stranglehold the RIAA and the big recording labels/studios have on our music scene. Sad but true fact, here. Most of the foreign acts I know about - Jane & Lake (Germany); Strawbs (British); Angel (Australian) and others I forget right now - I only heard of because of my being stationed overseas in the Navy.

Well, it is more difficult when they sing (with lyrics) and you don't understand the language. I don't know much about the music of other countries either. To be honest, I am not a musical person, so I am not an expert even in my own country artists.

I don't think I'm an expert, especially when it comes to current music stars, but I really, really like a lot of different types of music, so I very much enjoyed discovering new local styles during my travels.  ;D

It was fun! We fought with some orcs way above our level and seem to die but they were mostly doing non-lethal damage and just enjoying the brawl. They were quite fun. (but my character was very angry at been mocked at, so she left the tavern, totally offended.
