Post 4: Someone I would like to meet

Hello everybody! Today I will talk you about two greats person I would like to meet someday.

Each one of them has the particular and admirable characteristics, for example, in my first case, Gustavo “Chizzo” Napoli, who is an Argentinian singer of the band “La Renga”.

I liked meet to “Chizzo” because he is a great and creative singer who always talk about social causes, and in their song, “La Renga” talk its position in this case.

Her band has a record of the audience of the Argentinian Band in a paid concert, (120.000 assistants in Buenos Aires).

Besides, in the concerts of La Renga, generally, they have many assistant of Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, and obviously, Argentina. (The band, and Chizzo, creates energetic circles with different people like a bonding around the band).

  

This another person, is definitely, Eddie Vedder, this is an American Singer of Pearl Jam, because many characteristic, he is an extremely sensitive person (he know to express the sensitive in the music and the shows), he support and participle in many social causes or foundations like a “vitalogy” (the Foundation supports the efforts of non-profit organizations doing commendable work in the fields of community health, the environment, arts, education and social change).

(I was near to meet to Eddie vedder, because I was closed to meet him twice in the near of Hotel Ritz Carlton (there I could meet to guitar player, Mike McCready)

Post 3: My Favorite Movie

Hello everyone! Today I will talk about my favorite movie; this is “Into the Wild”, this is a movie about the reportage by Jon Krakauer in 90’s, who related to the case of “Chris McCandless”.

This young undergraduate, start an adventure without money or reference and travel to Alaska.

The motivation of this young for travel to Alaska occurs to mind because he was read many books about the freedom truth, the unnecessary of the money and the system.

This young only want freedom and life and depend to wild, this is a beautiful history about the real case of one American Young in 90’s.

Another thing who liked me to the movie is the soundtrack, which was created by Michael Brook for some situation in the movie and the best music by Eddie Vedder.

                                                     

Vedder was affected with the story and create the album “Into the Wild” exclusively to the Movie.

The immensity of this scenery in Alaska, the beautiful story, the amazing and energy soundtrack by 

Eddie Vedder, and the great performance of this actor (Emile Hirsch), contributed to the movie, and as a result “Into the Wild” likes my favorite movie.

                                             

Post 2: The best concert ever

I love concerts. I am one of those people who enjoyed ever concert, and think have more of 40 tickets of concerts in my life.

 It is very difficult decide in only one concert, but, the big four concerts of my life definitely are Metallica at  Estadio Monumental , principally for the devotion and dedication from the band to the public (and for listen the song   … and justice for all), Rage against the Machine at Estadio Bicentenario de la Florida, principally for the rage and the confrontational character of the band. And basically for the energetic music who generates the “battle of Santiago” (the name of the concert).

Rage Against The Machine, Estadio Bicentenario de la Florida , 2010

Another concert is Pearl Jam at Movistar Arena, because is the best concert of the band in Chile, for many attributes, the set list of the band was very unusually and the “personal character” (The band plays in the very small place.

And the best music concert  was David Gilmour at Estadio Nacional, this is my Favorited concert ever for the magic context that show, the expectative, the magical riffs of the David, and principally because he played songs like “Wish you Were Here”, “Fat Old Sun”, “Comfortably Numb” and many hits of the rock music.

Post 1: A country I wold like visit : Senegal

I would choose to visit Senegal and Burkina Faso, this is my dream because I love the African percussion, and this country are contains the roots of percussion.

In Burkina Faso, invented the Balafon, an instrument of wood and pumpkin (pumpkin was for the vibration of the hit) and I love the ceremonies of tribes that was include the native music, many dance and Percussion instrument.

I love the videos of these ceremonies, and I like interested in the social dynamics and the process of elaboration of this instrument and the typical piece of clothing in the ritual ceremonies.

And also I would choose to visit Senegal, because in this country make the djembe and the djun djun, (this percussion instrument elaborate with a thick trunk and leather)

I would investigate the motivation of the ceremonies, the reason of the people while make and plays the instruments.

I think this is fascinating ceremonies, and definitely like participate in the ritual.

                                       

Post 8 Evaluation of my Blogging Experience

Hello again!
On this occasion and in this final blog I want to make a general balance of my experience with this type of course activities.
I personally think that writing blogs for this course was a very productive and fun experience, because we had the opportunity to put our writing into practice much more often, besides it is quite entertaining to be able to have a relative freedom of writing and also to know and read the others' blogs.
For a future I would like to include blogs about other things, such as interests in music, for example.
I stay basically with this profitable experience, in which you can get to know people better while you practice your writing with the English language.

I take a good balance of the course, (the only thing I did not like was the schedule since it was too early in the morning hahahaha)
I would like very much that the next level of English incorporates similar activities since as a general balance I think they are very profitable, and also have a very good potential to practice their writing.
and with these words I want to end the blogs, thank you very much for reading!

post 7: the preferred course of the semester

Hello again! this time I come to tell about the subject that I enjoyed most this semester, this time I think it is a branch called "introduction to ethnography" since we had the opportunity to take a trip and investigate something of interest, plus of the experience of carrying out an ethnographic investigation knowing different perspectives and making both particular and general visions of a specific problem from the second year of the career. I was able to get to know the nightlife of Valparaíso, the one in which the subjects took my case, took the stairs of the place for the recreational consumption of alcohol and drugs ... and I, well, was obliged to participate in hahahaha ... I believe that of the year, this branch is not the best, since the first semester I had very good bouquets and that exceed it, but this semester, that I personally find it more relaxed, and somewhat slower ... I would say that I am left with this. this branch stood out before the rest for the experience of the ethnography in the field and for the knowledge that they gave as help for this work. Well, that's my experience with this bouquet, I hope it works! Until next time!

Post 6: Career related website

Hello again!
this time I come to talk about an internet link that has helped me many times, whether in tests, controls, and more.
I refer to the page "Summaries of Anthropography" which is a blog, yes, like this one, but that deals with the summary of the career.
The creators of this blog are students of the archeology branch of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), and it has helped me a lot because they have a very simple explanation that anyone can understand.
In addition they organize all their material in sections that go by units, and besides everything, they add their personal commentaries with relation to the matter for a more precise help.
I usually use this site when I have evaluations only hehehe, although it is one hundred percent recommended, it is still useful for me since it has even a section in which the abstracts are sorted by author, and makes the study much easier.
While it is only a blog, it is very useful, hopefully it will serve you !.
