    I’ve been a fan of “Trova” and it’s many offshoots ever since I first heard a song by Silvio Rodriguez when I was starting to learn Spanish. I’ve been hooked every since and to this day it remains my favorite genre. I’ve been lucky enough to see some artists live (recently saw Inti-Illimani and Quilapayún in Medellin). I think it’s high time for the same movement in English music. Unfortunately (maybe this is just me getting old) but it seems much of modern music is either bland and boring or else just plain anti-social, glorifying violence and misogyny.
