Travel Soundtrack\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eI discovered this track at the end of a remarkable film I watched a few weeks ago called Paraiso Travel. \u00a0Rather than try to describe it to you myself here

before I knew it many of my ideas about illegal immigration had been turned upside down. \u00a0It\x26#8217;s a film made by foreign filmmakers for a foreign audience, where New York (\x26#8220;Paraiso\x26#8221; or \x26#8220;Paradise\x26#8221;) plays a central role.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eFor the most part the music was typical South American fare. \u00a0But at the end of the film, during an emotional closing sequence this song, Paraiso begins and plays through the closing credits. \u00a0I love its Latin Jazz feel, and though I can\x26#8217;t understand the words it seems to communicate perfectly what the main characters are feeling as we leave them to find their own way in \x26#8220;Paradise\x26#8221;.\u00a0\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a\x0a
