My Favorite Music

Today I would like to share with you my musical tastes. Listening to music is for me an important ingredient of my daily life. The kind of music that I listen to is possible of classifying under what is known as “indie music”. It is an independent production and beautiful lyrics that include from pop to rock. Also I like folk music such as Violeta Parra, Bob Dylan or Johnny Cash.

Among my favorite bands are Coldplay, they are from England and Travis a Scottish band. I was very lucky because I listened to both bands alive when they visited Chile in February 2006 and November 2007, respectively. Another concert that I will never forget is Ennio Morricone`s, when he gave a free concert in March 2008.

I like Chilean musicians. Manuel García is a great musician, especially because he is considered the Victor Jara of our days. His lyrics are simply poetry. My favorites songs are “Las Meninas”, El Martirio de San Sebastian”, Una Buena Muchacha” –songs that made with his group Mecánica Popular- “Pañueli” and “Ninguna Calle”. On the other hand, I like Gepe because he has very innovative creations. My favorite album by him is “Gepinto”, all songs in this album are good songs. Javiera Mena is a young musician with nice songs such as “Sol de Invierno” or “Camara Lenta”. Other emergent Chilean musician that I like is Chinoy.
