The Best Concert...

Hello again everybody!!

Today I will talk about a concert that I went about seven years ago. Actually, I haven't seen a lot of concert really. However, I prefer other types of music events, called in the common way “tocatas”.

Anyway, the concert was in the Victor Jara Stadium. I think it was in October or November of 2008. For this concert came two foreign bands, one from Argentina called “Flema”, and another from Spain, Called “El Ultimo Ke Zierre”. Both are really important in the punk movement. Also, other band from the national scene came to this show, they are -i think- the most influential band of punk rock here, in Chile. They called “Fiskales Ad-Hok”.

I can't say that it was a wonderful show. I have been before in other music events more exiting like “black stone” or “never mind”, the official tribute of pearl jam and nirvana respectively. However, I think I had a fun time with my friends. We met a lot of amazing people from different places of Santiago.

In short, this experience was amazing. At the end of the concert, I don't really remember how I got to my bed. 

My favourite piece of art.

Hello everybody!! today i'm going to write about a Ecuadorian artist, but specific, one of the greatest works (for me) of this artist.

His name was Oswaldo Guayasamin, he died in 1999. He was really poor in his childhood, also he was a descendant of one of the most important tribes in Ecuador, “the Kichwa”. These reasons made him connect the art with the political issues in the American continent.

The piece of art that i chose for this opportunity is “The Guitarist”.

In 2011, when i was in a political activity in “La Bandera” i saw in a bigg wall this image, and i think it was a great work. I recognized Immediately the style of Guayasamin in the wall, and it was. However, that is not the principal reason why i like this paint. I think is really similar to the Egon Shiele work. Both takes the human body to decompose them and exalt the emotions. Also, the use of colour in “the Guitarist” was really amazing, just using three or maybe four colors, principally red and black, to build all the structure of the human in the picture.

In conclusion, “The Guitarist” is a great expression of Latin American art, it's not a coincidence that the first record album in Nicaragua after the revolution called “Guitarra Armada” with the image of this picture in the cover. 

if you want work in the sugar camps...

I think that Cuba is one of the most braves countrys in the continent. My choose was becouse i really like the history of this nation, the independence movements were a big example (in 1898, and 1959) of courage to all people who lives dominated by other forces, stronger and powerfull forces.

I think that Cuba has a mysticism, for a lot of things, and i really love that. For example, ones of the interested things was the image of che guevara, in the cuban revolution. Also, the most important thing that i think, and the reason to know him, is the value-based in this society. I have a great likeable for its culture.

When i was a kid, i remembered that i had an aunt who lived in cuba. I Always asked to my father; why my aunt had to live in other country? He talkted to my something about a “state stroke”. I dont understand really much. When i grow up, i started to learn more about its history.

the most fascinating for my about Cuba its the independence movement whitch was lead by JoséMartí and “The Mambis” army, who was a popular army created by poor peaoples, principally for peasants, against the Spanish empire.

I think about the style of life in Cuba. That really interesting for me, much more that the material things like the food or other stuff. Well, i have to admit, i really like the floklor in Cuba, i love the “son music”, like Carlos Puebla, Compai Segundo and of course, Buena Vista Social Club.

I would like to visit the revolution museum, my grandfather tall me about this and he tall me it was really awesome, above all to a “comunist like me”. But the most important thing that i would like to do is talk to the people, visit the old Havana, take some cuban rum and konow the cuban people, just live like one of them. Personaly, i would like to teach in Cuba. Im complete agree about a free system of education and health, so i really feel necesary try to form my skills like an artist, and teacher in this country.

To finish, i think that this country represent something really importan for all peoples who figths against social injustices, thats my principal reason, to know this land.
