About Me
I m a dreamer.
I m in that face of life when you actually want what you used to despise, I guess that makes me an adult.
My greatest responsibility and the love of my life is my son, he s filling up every hole I had in my soul.
I m still trying to improve my skills as a mother, not an easy task for someone who has given her life to music as I have.
Music has been feeding me up in more than one way for more than eighteen years now, so here I am fighting and away from home trying to prove the world that dreams and motherhood although are different worlds can collide in just one person.
None of this would be easy without my love and haven...Javier...
Peace everyone.

"After 40 years of great music, and with a bright, busy future ahead, it would seem that no one ever told Chicago that it's okay to take a break."
"A little immortality would be real sweet." -James Pankow -

"All We Are Sayin' is Give Peace a Chance."
"We All Got The Blues.., We're All The Same..."
Solo hay 2 cosas infinitas: El Universo y LA ESTUPIDEZ HUMANA... y no estoy muy seguro de la primera.

Journal
Ok, mil gracias a todos aquellos que solicitaron tener y/o escuchar algo de mi musica, bueno aqui les van los primeros sencillos del disco en el que estamos trabajando ahora. Voodoo Woman es una rola que Javier arreglo para mi como un tributo a Mrs. Koko Taylor. Es increiblemente grave para mi pero tenia que hacerla!!! Me encanta. Farewell Blues es una de nuestras rolas, escrita unos dias antes de emigrar por razones artisticas, y de alguna manera en vez de ser triste es un agasajo! Meaningless Words fue compuesta por Javier y por mi cuando estabamos hasta el tope de oir puras necedades! Going to Canada...que mas puedo decir. Y Way Over Yonder es una de las canciones mas hermosas que he oido, compuesta por Carole King y cantada por mi en esta version en vivo, sin maquillaje ni nada, asi salio a la primera...Describe exactamente como me siento la mayor parte del tiempo.
Ok, thanks a lot to all of you who were interested on my music, well here you go, the first singles from the album we're currently working on. Voodoo Woman is a song Jay arranged for me as a tribute to Mrs. Koko Taylor. It's incredibly low for me but I had to do it!!! Farewell Blues is one of our tunes, written by Jay just before we moved, somehow instead of sad it is a blast! Meaningless Words was composed by Jay and me when we were sick of everybody's non sense... Going to Canada...What can I say. And Way Over Yonder is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, written by Carole King and sung by me, this is a live version, no effects, just one take...it describes exactly the way I feel most of the time... Enjoy.
Viv.
