Blog Session 5: Los Jaivas

I'm going to talk about one of my favourite chilean band and also one the most important in our country and Latin America: Los Jaivas. This is a chilean rock band formed by Eduardo Parra (keyboard and lyrics), Claudio Parra (keyboard) Gabriel Parra (drums), Eduardo "Gato" Alquinta (voice) and Mario Mutis (bass). This group was formed in 1963 in Viña del Mar, Chile.

Los Jaivas make an important contribution to the music of Chile because they created a totally particular sound that mixed the traditional chilean and latin american music with the rock music. In their lyrics we can found the old history of our land with the modern sound of a electric instruments. And in my opinion its beautiful how they can created an armonic and powerful pieces of music with so differents elements.

This rock band composed a lot of songs that conform and important part of our collective imaginary like "Todos Juntos" or "Sube a Nacer Conmigo Hermano". Pieces of music that motivate to the love, brotherhood and peace in the people. Its usually that this songs causes the biggest manifestation of happyness and excitement in their concerts. Like in the concert of their 50th birthday when I had the opportunity to go.

Blog Session 4: Bob Dylan

Hello!

I'm going to talk about one of my favourite artist of all time: Bob Dylan. His real name was Robert Allen Zimmerman but he has changed it to Bob Dylan when he decided to be musician. He is an american singer, compositor, guitarrist. And also he is an harmonica and piano player who was been recognized for this lyrics, innovations and contribution to the following generation of musician in all the world.This man was very important to understand how this style of music have changed from the 60's to now. I think that it doesn't exists any traditional folk musician that don't know Bob Dylan.  But, in my particular case I like the particular way to talk to the people across his music.

I like the big part of his music because when I listen him, it was like I know it exactly the thing that he want to say. His songs have marked me in the most importants moments of my life. In a classical way to see him, he is not a great singer and he isn't play guitar, piano or harmonica in a majestic way neither. He simply have a honest way to speak about all the things that happen in our world, from the most relevant social problems to the deepest feellings of the human being. He talk about all the things that we can find in our lives. He can talk about all the hate to an ex-girlfriend in "Idiot Wind" and talk about beautiful things like we can find hope in the wind when we can't see it in another place in "Blowin' in the wind". 

Blog Session 3: France

I would like to visit a lot of countries in my life. But at this moment I would like to visit France. Because I always heard that this country was amazing in the artistic aspect. France have one of the most influential culture of Europe and all the world. Very important to understand the occidental way of living. In many places the people try to do things like the french do. Inclusive in our city, Santiago we can find some places with a evident architecture influential of France. I like its style of music too and a big part of its artistic manifestations.

I would like to speak french for to travel to Paris but I know just somethings phrases. The capital city Paris is one of the most beautifuls cities in the world and I would like to know all the important places. The Eiffel towers, obviosly, the palaces, museums, cinemas and the differents bars and entertainment places. I would like to walk in its small streets and know the city in this way.

In one step of my life I would like to study something related with my carreer; cinema. And it would be great do it in France, the country where the cinema has born.

Blog Session 2: My ideal Job

My ideal job would be working at an area where I can mix a lot of differents arts in just one. And also I earn money with that. But I don't like that the money be my reason of make these things. Since I was a child I love drawing and make cartoons, because I usually saw my mother make paintings. Actually, I like play the guitar and play the harmonic. I like movies, the music, the literature and all kind of arts. For this reason it would be very important to me make things that can mixing these differents parts for to create something that can affect an audience. And (the most important) make a contribution in the life of the people. In specially something related with the cinema, the carreer that I actually study. I don't very sure in which particular area to work, but I know that I like the role of director and editor. Because for me they are someone of the most important parts in the line production of a movie. When I was at college I was thinking that this way of living was impossible, but at this moment I don't feel it so far. Because with the time I learn that the way of the cinema have a lot of possibilities that in the start I ignored. I love that and I'm very happy for to find people, who thinks in the same way.
