I thought my skull, with its opened mouth, looked like it was singing. Then when I put the design into a basic repeat, to me, it looked like a choir. So then I thought, "Are there traditional songs for 'Day of the Dead'?" Here is what I found: There are 10 great songs at the following site, although they definitely do not qualify as traditional. These are 21st century songs. I particularly liked Cuban-American singer Voltaire's "Dia De Los Muertos" and also Norway's "Los Platronics" and their song, "Dia De Los Muertos," (reminiscent of Ennio Morricone's work). http://www.mtviggy.com/lists/days-of-the-dead-10-songs-for-remembering-your-ancestors-all-year-long/ English interpretation for Voltaire's "Day of the Dead": http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858677445/ Another interesting site re: "Day of the Dead" and songs can be found at http://www.npr.org/blogs/altlatino/2013/11/01/241636597/a-sonic-altar-celebrating-the-day-of-the-dead I always learn something participating in Spoonflower's design contest! :-)
