By Juan Carlos Garay

MUSIC What music would sound in an interplanetary capsule launched from the Colombian Caribbean? Systema Solar crosses the space with the response.

I owe the discovery of a reader group Systema Solar. I wrote called in for not having reviewed yet, and ended up waking up something like a cosmic consciousness. Imagine one of those colorful goats that are typical of transport Colombian towns, only instead of traveling between towns are moving from one planet to another.
