Since I was a child the music was a very important part of my life because it makes me feel so happy, have a good time or think about the topics of the songs, etcetera.
My father was a very important inspiration or influence in me, specifically, about what kind of music do I like and listens until the present day. He listen so much Chilean music, like Victor Jara, Violeta Parra, Quilapayún, Inti-Illimani, Buddy Richard, Zalo Reyes, Florcita Motuda, Los Jaivas, amog others bands. This kind of music is very important to me, specially, because their political discourse.
To me, one important element of music must be the message that it has; the discourse of the songs must be related whit our lives, our social contexts and sing about the problems and positive things we have in our lives. And specially, I believe, at least some percentage of music must sing about the political and social contexts, based on political thoughts and the hope of a better world.
In the present day, I like a lot of contemporary Chilean music as well, like Manuel Garcia, Nano Stern, Chinoy, Camila Moreno, Francisca Valenzuela, Guiso, among others. And, some months ago I started to listens punk music, like La Polla Records, Fiskales Ad-hoc, Sex Pistols, among others.
Finally, my experience as a musician is very small. In the school I play flute in a scholar’s perform about the mass killing of Santa Maria, based on the “Cantata of Santa Maria”.
