pacha mama no hay nada en este mundo

no hay que esperar
pa mostrar el interes y darle a pacha mama el respeto que ella mereze

Bestes Lied ever

MrHankeyable

Sehr sehr sehr viele geilere Alben waren das damals. Bevor sie zu den Mainstream-House-Musikern geworden sind. Schade eigl. War echt fetter Dancehall, vorallem wenn man draußen in der Hängematte bei guten Wetter chillen kann 8).

lastBlackunicorn

ich habe es geliebt mit Kopfhörern und meinem MP3 Player in der Tasche durch die Stadt zu laufen und zur Musik zu tanzen....aber ich hör die alten songs einfach weiter und fühl mich zumindest zeitweise wieder 16 Jahre jünger

Sharila Fofana

Cool

AustriaZocker

Die wollen auch nur ihr Geld machen und glücklich Leben, wie jeder von uns.....wenn sie mit ihren guten alten Songs kein Geld verdienen, dann liegt das nicht an ihnen, sondern an den Leuten die ihre Lieder nicht hören.
