Episode 39 features songs which contain the Spanish word for 'life' (vida) in the lyrics. To replay, click on the link at the bottom of this page (1:59:20, 27 tracks).

Read about the planning and context of this show in the pre-broadcast post. The session resulted in a good compilation of sayings and observations about life. It was quite astonishing to learn just how many salsa songs include the word 'vida' in their lyrics, so I had no trouble making a shortlist, but this means a Part 2 should be in the works too, then.
