Vinyl transfer from ExcavatedShellac.com

We tried to find some traditional music from Ecuador. But this music is actually an example of Cumbia from Panama. It was recorded in 1930.

We found some videos of parades that are similar to the event Luzmila describes.

My Family by Belkis

Belkis is beginning English. And this is her first writing in English!

Music Credit:

I made the music using the Garage Band application for iPhone. All of the instruments are electronic. I really like to learn about new programs. In the future, I want the students to try making music for their videos. For now, we will probably continue to borrow music from FreeMusicArchive.org, because I can't make music fast enough for all the new videos!
