This week, our mp3 is Huye de Mi by Afro-Peruvian great Eva Ayllón.

Huye de Mi translates to Escape from Me. This is a song of lost love, but think about it as an escape from a place or a way of thinking that you want to be free of – if you can’t speak Spanish, that is.

If you can speak Spanish, you’ll realize that this song carries the weight of regret mixed with relief that we so often feel at the end of a relationship. Complex and truthful, it is a song about moving on.

Now motivate!
