The song means vagabond Pigeon and is a story about a beaten up pigeon who still tries to find love. Quetzal says the whole album is about life of urban animals and how we relate to them.
This is a faster, livelier song with Gonzalez dancing on a box—like Saintseneca. The dancing rhythms, the great violin and the cool robust bass really make this song stand out. About the stomp box, this is a tarica from Veracruz, Mexico. Quetzal explains that Martha is a percussionist by trade as well as a professor as Scripps College in Pomona.
A Man Like Him
This is in unusual story in that the main character is a man who is obsessed with a story in a magazine. Teacher Fei is an older man, unmarried and now living with his elderly mother. The story that he has become fixated on is about a nineteen year old girl who is set out to publicly humiliate her father. And once the girl turned eighteen she sued her father, suspecting that another woman had seduced hm away from her mother. She said that he should be punished for abandoning his family and for the immoral act of taking a mistress.
She had also created a website to humiliate the man.

She wanted him to lose his job, his freedom and his mistress. Teacher Fei had a woman come in to help with his mother. He used this time to go to the internet cafe. He went there regularly—so regular that the owner told him he should just buy his own computer to save money. Only to find them taken down soon afterward. After recuperating and leaving the hospital, she lost interest in writing fiction and for a whole year she focused on reading several biographies, memoirs, diaries and journals.

- Yiyun Li–“A Man Like Him” (New Yorker, May 12, 2008).
According to her, reading about other people's lives "was a comfort". Stephanie Merritt of The Observer wrote,.
Her first novel, The Vagrants , draws heavily on the art of the short story as it follows a disparate group of citizens of the industrial town of Muddy River over three months in Ian Thomson of The Independent wrote,. With its controlled understatement and scrupulous and unsparing lucidity, The Vagrants is a work of great moral poise and dignity. These days, few writers can be said to possess gravitas; yet Yiyun Li exudes a seriousness that would be remarkable in one twice her age.
As a chronicle of political betrayal under a modern dictatorship, The Vagrants is a minor classic; I have not read such a compelling work in years. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The native form of this personal name is Li Yiyun.
