Sofia Sosa, senior international studies major
Artist: Maná
“My mom used to listen to them a lot, and ‘Mariposa Traicionera’ is a very nostalgic song for me. She gave me this iPod Nano for Christmas one year and it had a bunch of music by them, so it’s very nostalgic to me.”
Analicia Parish, junior sociology major
Artist: Manic Hispanic
“ My favorite songs would be ‘Chancla Abuser’ from the ‘Back in Brown’ album, and ‘Big Chorizo’ from the ‘Grupo Sexo’ album. I love classic and hardcore punk rock music because of the political activism and goofiness of it all.”
Alyssa Flores, sophomore fine arts major
Artist: Julieta Venegas
“I would recommend Julieta Venegas, she is considered a pop indie music artist. My favorite album of hers is ‘Limon Y Sal’ because I would listen to it when I was younger with my family.”
