The Limiñanas: Migas 2000
Silvio’s 1st Top 5 choice comes from the French husband and wife duo The Limiñanas. About this song Silvio said, “In Migas 2000, the French duo The Limiñanas serves us with a delicious ‘migas’ recipe over an hedonistic and hypnotic beat à gogo. Irresistible. Life at its best: pleasure and love.”

Massacre: El Deseo
For his final choice Silvio returns to his homeland of Argentina and Argentine Skate Rockers Massacre. Silvio writes, “Nobody could have predicted that those 1986 skate punks from Argentina would craft in 2011 this poetic masterpiece about getting older and making the same mistake again. Massacre, a cult band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, reminds us in El Deseo that “No winter starts until it’s you who turn off the sun. Let’s keep desire alive. That’s the jackpot”.”
