California, el estado encantado

Siempre he tenido la intriga del por qué las bandas musicales tienen una fascinación con el estado de California, a tal punto que crean hasta albums con el nombre y algo más (Californication de Red Hot Chili Peppers)

Esta fascinación me ha transmitido a mi fascinación por la misma, a tal punto que escribo este artículo para mostrar el aroma a California o que en alguna parte de la letra se nombra al tercer estado más grande de Estados Unidos.

Algo de Geografía: 

Increíblemente la capital de California es Sacramento, pero la ciudad que la mayoría de las bandas nombra es Los Angeles, ya sea de manera compositiva, o cocinan los albums, además que cuenta con el festival más grande a nivel mundial en la actualidad que es Coachella.

California tiene esa mística de territorio cultural, ya que no solo se cocina música, si no también cine y algunas ramas más en el área artístico.

Talvez sea el ambiente, tal vez las mujeres, nadie lo sabe; así en el siguiente play-list he intentado recopilar, independientemente de los estilos musicales a los que se dirijan sus intérpretes, el tema a tratar que es California.
