Music

My preferred styles of music are the rock and the “cumbias villeras”. The “cumbias villeras” or “shantytown cumbias” are a distinctive kind of cumbia that were born in Argentine and then popularized in other South American countries. They are characterized for being a vulgar and coarse form of cumbia music born in the shantytowns around Buenos Aires and that is derivated musically of “Cumbia sonidera’ and Peruvian Cumbia.

I listen to rock music a 60% of the time, and cumbia music a 30 % of time (the other 10 percent of “my musical life” are of others different musical styles as metal, pop, reggae and reggeaton).

My favorite rock band is Pink Floyd. I knew it in the school by the influence of one of my best friends. I have 5 of its original discs (my favorite one is “The Dark Side of the Moon”) and I like much its music because it’s an exciting, relaxing and psychedelic rock style. When I listen to them I feel that I am a pixel of the world traveling through the light waves.

I like also classic rock, and my favorite bands are The Beatles (and its brilliant, innovating and changing style), the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin (and its psychedelic and lovely style) and the Doors (I love Jim Morrison, but in a heterosexual way).

In the other hand my favorite “shantytown cumbias” bands are Pala Ancha, Altos Cumbieros, Dama Gratis, Los Pibes Chorros and Nestor en Bloque.

My favourite song is “Wish you were here” played by Pink Floyd. I love the strong emotions that it represents and inspires.

My first and unique concert was the one of Bob Dylan that was in 2008.

Actually I am learning to play a Yembe, that’s a native African percussion instrument.
