Talk:Alegría
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Music
- Does anyone know the language that Francesca Gagnon's Song Vazoule (DVD chapter 9) is sung in, or if it is the imaginary language? (In the extras, Francesca says that Cerceaux is the only song to feature the imaginary language.) HueyCobra 08:32, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

- Could somebody please note in the Music section next to the songs which ones are sung in the show by the Singer in White vs. Singer in Black? Thanks!--Funhistory 03:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
