In 2008, I was one of 35 volunteers that were selected for an all expense paid volunteering trip to participate in various volunteer events at the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Target House both in Memphis, Tennessee, US. Volunteers came from various locations in the world. I was one of four from the Tempe, Arizona, US.

This is a cassette tape with a mix of songs that will give you a small glimpse to some of the music that I enjoyed in my teenage years.
Though I don't have the exact date of when this collection of songs was copied onto the cassette, it would have been sometime at the end of 1995 or maybe 1996 because the songs by Thalia were from the album En éxtasis, which originally released on the 12th of September of 1995.
The mid nineties were my teen years and very much enjoyed (and still do) piano, saxophone, telenovelas, video games, sci-fi/action/superhero movies, and music by Thalia. As a teen with little money at my disposal, getting any new music had to be a bit selective. Many of the purchased cassettes of new music were the compilation ones.
I'd slowly started transitioning to getting a few CDs with the En éxtasis album by Thalia one of the very first ones. That's where Maria La Del Barrio, Piel Morena (Remix), and Juana came from. Maria Mercedes and Marimar came from a compilation cassette with Thalia songs titled, "20 Kilates Musicales." A future upload.
The Vals Del Pueblo from Corazon S is how I wrote that entry on the cassette sleeve. I am fairly sure that it was from Corazon Salvaje, which was a telenovela, however not sure if it was from a cassette or CD. It is also unclear to me if the piano and saxophone songs originally came from a CD or cassette. If the original source is located, then that'll be another future upload. One thing that is for certain is that in my mind that was the bridge song for this mixed tape to switch from the piano/sax to the telenovela and Thalia songs.
These songs were enjoyed being listened to many, many times via my portable cassette player, hence the noticeable distortion on the first few tracks.
