59: Haim Saban & Shuki Levy feat. Memo Aguirre - Ulises (1981)

We reach track 59 to visit Israel. Time to dream, to remember a fantastic sci-fi animated TV series from the 80's, Ulysses 31, with a clever script mixing greek mythology and space travel. It also included a wonderful soundtrack by Israeli music composer Shuki Levy and millionaire Haim Saban, with synthetized landscapes and great technopop songs, such as the main title, Ulysses, which was originally sung in French (Ulysse) by Lionel Leroy but later adapted to other languages (English, Spanish,...). I personally enjoy most the Spanish version (Ulises), sung by Memo Aguirre -specialized in singing animated TV series themes in Spanish-, bringing me good memories back from my childhood.

66: Entre Ríos - Hoy no (2002)

Argentina is one of the countries that we had not visited yet. There we find Entre Ríos, a band with a long musical career that published their first EP in 2000 and their latest album, for now, in 2011. Their sound is characterized by a clear pop sensibility and a clever use of electronics. Their albums have been distributed in several countries, including Spain, and have enjoyed a reasonable success.

73: Zahed Sultan - Walkin Away (2011)

We travel back -after our relatively recent Iranian adventure- to a Middle East country. Kuwait, this time. The promising Kuwaiti artist Zahed Sultan released his debut album, Hi Fear Lo Love, early last year. It included tracks sung in English and Arabic. I have chosen this Walking Away, a delicate pearl in line with the previous Mexican song. Sentimental, melancholic sounds with tender female voice to make us think about something... or someone.

74: Belanova - Tus ojos (2003)

Mexico is our next destination. There we find Belanova, a band from the city of Guadalajara led by their vocalist Denisse Guerrero and formed in year 2000. With five studio albums released, my favorite song is on the first one, called Cocktail. A techno pop gem that dazzled me ten years ago and which I still enjoy.
