POST 2: SONGS AND MEMORIES

 Hello, today I´m going to talk about two songs that bring me unforgettable memories. 

The first one is "La Infancia"- Violeta Parra. This song  transports me to my first year of basic education, when I was 7 years old. I think it was the first song I learned to sing with a choir and, at the same time, it was the first song I heard from Violeta Parra. It was a magical experience because there I discovered that I love to sing and this song followed me my whole life like many songs by Violeta. Another reason why this moment was very special to me is that Polo taught us the song, and then he became a teacher who taught me to sing throughout my entire schooling and he is a person that I appreciate a lot. 

The second one is "Eco"-Jorge Drexler. It doesn´t bring me a specific memory. I just love this song because is the first one that sounds in the album and it gives the name to the whole project too. I knew the record because my mom had it, so it sounded at home, in the car, then on my headphones. I can't explain the emotion I feel when this song sounds, I always enjoy it as if it were the first time listening to it. I guess this album in general made me appreciate the lyrics of the songs and I think Eco is particularly beautiful, because everything about it removes me deeply.

POST 1: A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

Hi everyone, today I´m going to talk about why I´ve always been interested in visiting Mexico.

 First of all, I like the way the people of Mexico relate to death. In this country when someone dies, the funeral far from being sad and dark, is a party full of colorful skulls, flowers, lights and embroidered cloaks. The souls of those who left physical life receive visits, offerings and gifts for two and a half days that try to link them with the life they left behind. People take to the grave the favourite things of the dead, and share his/him favourite food and music. I´ve seen Mexican cementeries in pictures, and I think they are one of the most beautiful in the planet. I hope that some day I can visit these places that are closer to the vision I have about death. 

For another hand, I would like to visit this country because of their food. I love burritos and the spicy condiments, I always prepare them at home in my own way, but eating them in their original country must be an epic experience. Also, one of my favourite drinks is tequila and is my dream drink a tequila shot in Mexico. 

There are much more reasons of why I would like to visit Mexico, but I going to tell you next time. 

See you later!
