I wanted to title this piece of writing "untitled" just because like in several ocassions before, I don't have a topic to write about. I started by putting on instrumental music in my computer, so it could set my mood about finding something to write about.

The song playing right now is from Alex Acosta, a musician from Ecuador. The music he plays is plain folklore from my country and the countries among The Andes such as Bolivia and Peru. He plays music using his pan flute accompanied by a guitar and other musical instruments. I met Alex Acosta two years ago while doing some shopping at a local mall back in my hometown Portoviejo. There he was playing his music by the entrance of the mall.

I was going to buy some souvenirs to bring back to the States, but as soon as I started to listen to his music, my legs drove me straight to him. He had four different Cd's that he had recorded and I bought them all. He stop the music came to me and thanked me for supporting our typical Ecuadorean music. I told him I was excited and proud to meet him, and ask him to autograph all four Cd's I had bought.

He was happy that his music was going out of the country because somehow he knew I wasn't residing in Ecuador. I thanked him and left. I continued with my shopping and when I was leaving I heard Acosta's playing his music, somehow he saw me leaving and raised his hand to say goodbye while playing his pan flute, and then I raised mine.
