I've been a fan of Suzanne Vega since I first heard her haunting voice on the radio in the late 1980s. I didn't know who she was and asked around to find out what the song I had heard was called and who the singer was. I discovered the song was called Luka and the artist was Suzanne Vega.

A loud, vibrant voice from vocalist Dan Layus on top of progressive rock music, that ...

On the Macondo's description on the first lines of this book he describes Aracataca (the city where Garcia Marquez was born).
About the story it talks about Macondo's foundation and its first people living there: The Buendias in 4th generation where the Buendia family's names are reapiting as Jose Arcadio, Aureliano so Don Jose Arcadio Buendia is the father or Jose Arcadio Buendia and he is the father of Jose Arcadio, Aureliano, etc, etc being a little confuse understanding it.
