Post 6: A band / Singer I like

I don't have a favorite band or singer because I like many styles of music. We could say that I have many favorite bands and singers but I have a singer that transcends my whole life until today. This singer is Silvio Rodríguez. He is a Cuban singer-songwriter. He belongs to a group of singer-songwriters who emerged with the Cuban revolution. They created a style of Cuban music called "nueva trova". He plays a type of music called trova, a mixture of lyricism, guitar melodies, social, political commitment and polical criticism. Silvio Rodriguez has so many songs, really, he has written over 300 songs! The song "El Necio" is one of my favorite songs, I like it because I feel very identified and represented by it. Another of my favorite songs is "at the end of this journey in life" I like it for its lyrics and also for its melody, I love playing it on guitar although I am not as skillful as Silvio. I could talk all day about my favorite songs of this man because I love almost all his creations. I admire him very much in human and artistic terms. His ability with the guitar and his creativity to make so many songs with political and poetic content at the same time is incredible. That's why I like Silvio Rodriguez

Post 1: A country I'd like to visit

Imagen
I have never traveled to another country but I always dream of traveling a lot. Since I was about 12 years old, I have been a fan of J.R.R. Tolkien. When I saw the Lord of the Rings movies I was struck by the landscapes that gave life to Middle Earth. I have always wanted to know those landscapes that are in New Zealand. I don't know much about its culture or its history, I just know that it is one of the countries that did an excellent comprehensive job controlling the covid 19 pandemic and that more than 150 filming locations were used in the country to film The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogy. If one day I visit this country the first thing I would do would be to take all the tours that take me to the filming locations of the Lord of the Rings. I would like to work in New Zealand because I would have the opportunity to visit amazing places and also work with an excellent and efficient health team.

Post 2: The best concert ever

Imagen
I've been to several concerts in my life and definitely Yann Tiersen's performance wins all the awards. It was at La Cupula theater in Parque Ohiggins in 2014. Since I saw the movie Amelie I was completely delighted with the music of Yann Tiersen. His music is truly art. I remember that day we arrived early with my friends to have a good location. It was an intimate concert because the place was small, there were few people, it had an amazing light show and also the music generated a certain complicity. It was incredibly magical. I have engraved in my memory when Yann played the violin against the light and his movements could be observed as if they were part of a dance. I was mesmerized by her movements and the music. I remember when he played my favorite song Sur Le Fil. I felt for a second that everything around me disappeared while the sounds of the violin enveloped me with emotion. It was an amazing moment. At the end of the concert we left with the feeling of flying.

Post 3: My favorite movie

Imagen
I don't have just one favorite movie. I could say that one of my most favorites is Interstellar. I like it because it shows a futuristic situation that could happen on Earth, it is not so far from reality. The scenes of the different planets they visit and the space travel are amazing. The cinematic planes and angles are really good. The truth is that I like to watch all kinds of movies except horror movies. I really like Japanese animation movies like The Howl's Moving Castle or My Neighbor Totoro. The last horror movie I saw was The Conjuring and I was so scared that I had nightmares all that week. Despite that, the movie The Exorcist is still in my top 10 since to this day it scares me a lot and it is also a classic. Romantic movies and action movies are at the bottom of my list, except for the movie Pride & Prejudice which I love the story between Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth. The most recent movie I have seen is Tengo miedo Torero, it is a Chilean film based on the novel b...
