My Favourite piece of Art

Hi!
Today, I'm going to talk about a piece of art.

Honestly, I do not have a piece of favorite art, but I like it several. The first one that came to my mind is the mural "Latinoamerica" realized by the artists "Jano" and "Basti".

Jano and Basti belong to collective "La Mano", which is aimed at the unification and democratization of the artistic work in Latin America, using as the main tool the paint, developing a graphic line linked to indigenous peoples. This group also performs an important work in the neighborhoods of Latin America, looking for know what is happening, living the day to day and denouncing through art.

"Lationamerica" is one of the 40 murals that shape the "Open-Air Museum" in the commune of San Miguel. The project of museum has turned into one of the major expressions of street art into Chile, because share the stage and mingle the techniques of mural painting and graffiti with original works developed by national and international exponents. 

I like this piece of art specifically, because the colors used are very striking, but especially because it shows a common history that unites to Latin America and once united is possible generate profound changes.

Hi!
Today, I'm going to talk about the last movie I watched: The Imitation Game

The Imitation Game was released in 2014. The film is about the mathematician Alan Turing, who along with other experts can decipher the code used by the Nazis to communicate during the second world war.

It is a film with a compelling story that already not only exposes as decrypted the enigma code and the origin of the computers, but also the existing prejudices about homosexuality in that time.

But not only the history stands out, also the performances of those involved, especially of Benedict Cumberbatch (Alan Turing). His performance is complex and highly credible. 


Definitely I love this movie!!! I think is the best i've seen this year (the worst has been "Aloha" perhaps in another post i'll talk about it) because the history, the ambience and the performances are memorable.  And I must admit, ever since I saw the film, every time I do a crossword puzzle i wonder how much it would take Touring.

Hi!
Today, I'm going to talk about my favorite music band.




Los Bunkers" is a Chilean music band formed in 1999. It's very popular in Chile and Latin American. Its members are Álvaro López, Francisco Durán, Mauricio Durán, Gonzalo López and Mauricio Basualto. This band plays rock music, it influences include The Beatles, Sloan and Supergrass. The band has released six studio albums: "Los Bunkers", "Canción de Lejos", "La Culpa", "Vida de Perros" (my favorite album), "Barrio Estación" and "Música Libre", also the band has a live album called "En Vivo". 

Los Bunkers captured the attention of fans who liked The Kinks, Franz Ferdinand and The Strokes. The success of the album in Mexico, with their single “Llueve sobre la Ciudad” was huge throughout the Mexican Republic with presentations at the Vive Latino Festival, Corona Fest, and the Metropolitan Theatre among others. The Bunkers made their debut live concert in the U.S. during the LAMC (Latin Alternative Music Conference) before an audience of 10,000.  

I like "Los Bunkers" because its songs represents personals situations and it has an interesting social discourse, for example in its last performance on "Festival de Viña del Mar" it showed images about education and the Mapuche community. 

Finally, after much thought my favorite song is... "Llueve sobre la ciudad" because when I listened for the first time this song its letter remember me a similar personal situation.

Unfortunately this band separated in 2014 =(

Photograph


Hi!

Today, I'm going to talk about a my favourite photograph. 



There are many photos that I like, but one of my favorites is with my schoolmates. This photo was taken in September, 2010 after the last activity that we did as course. The activity of Fiestas Patrias is done every year and on that occasion we danced "pascuense". In the photo appearing almost all those who participated in the show. 

It was very special because in addition to being the last activity of the school in which we participated, this activity was the first in which I participated doing the costumes and contributing with the choreography. I felt very helpful! 

The most important in this photo, is that it makes me remember not only the time that the photograph was taken, but all the nice moments that I lived with my schoolmates. We spent many years together doing a countless amount of things that I remember very fondly.

Until today I have contact with several that appear in the photograph, even some of the considered as part of my family because I have always been with them.
