We use 'alegra' when a singular subject (like 'the music' or 'my friend') is the cause of the happiness, and the recipient (the person getting happy) is shown using pronouns like 'me' or 'le'.
Using the wrong verb for 'I am happy'
Mistake: “Using 'Yo alegra' to mean 'I am happy.'”
Correction: To express *your own* happiness, you need the reflexive form, 'Me alegro.' 'Alegra' is used when something *else* is making someone happy.
