Music and stuff.


This time I will talk about the music I prefer. When I was a little boy, walking around the mountains of eight region of Bío Bío river, all the music that I listened to was latin american folcklore, mexican ballads and Mapuche ethnic music. Why did I listened to that kind of music? because that was what the people around me listened to. My mom heard chilean groups such as Illapu, Los Jaibas and Sun and Rain. My older Brother, Rodrigo, heard to Violeta Parra, Silvio Rodríguez, Víctor Jara and that kind of artists. But, when my older cousin came to live with us from Argentina, she brougth argentine rock into my life. Fito Páez, Charly García, The Green Dwarfs, Luis Alberto Spinetta,  Sui Generis, Alejandro De Michele de Pastoral, Birds Making Machine and León Gieco.
At this point in my life the influence of others is not as important. Finally I know what kind of music I like. I still like Folk  music, mexican ballads, ethnic music and argentine (and chilean and all the rock!) rock, but also I like tango, electronic tango, hip hop and all the music that gives me pleasure. My favorite song these days es Roxanne, but not the version of The Police, but the one in the movie Moulin Rouge. The movie is a romantic Jukebox musical film directed, produced, and co-written by Baz Luhrmann.

  1. "The Thin". I downloaded a disc of Almendra, one of Spinetta's projects, but I didn't listen yet.

    Greetings.

  2. It’s funny to read names of bands like Enanitos Verdes or Sol y Lluvia in English. I think that we have too many music in common!!! Some day we could talk about it and sing along!!!
