Manie Musicale-If any of the songs interested you and you would like to go back and listen to them, here is the link with the playlist of all the songs. Feel free to look up the lyrics and try to listen and read along with the lyrics (good for listening comprehension skills). Many times the songs are translated into English as well and you can get a better idea of what the song is about.
