The Dominican singer-songwriter and producer Joe Blandino released his bilingual single ”Me Haces Tan Feliz” (You Make Me Feel So Happy) featuring Gustavo Galindo, a Grammy nominated singer-songwriter from Los Angeles, California. Me haces Tan Feliz was mixed and mastered by the two times Grammy award winner Thomas Juth in Sweden and London.
When Blandino and Galindo were asked what or who makes them happy, their answers were lovely and shareworthy!
- Family and Friends
Family and other relationships are most important, by far. Familial bonds certainly can have an influence on your well-being, whether it’s your biological family or the family you create on your own. You depend on them for advice, emotional support or even as a resource to come bail you out of trouble. The pressures and stressors of the world can sometimes feel like a Brillo pad on our skin and souls. But family is the place where you can be encouraged, affirmed and have fun.
So, during quarantine, even calling your friends and family you make you feel better! What are you waiting for!
- The outdoors
