At different stages of our lives we have friends who come to bring new perspectives to our way of seeing ourselves in the world. The books, the poetry, the movies and especially some songs and albums, are essential friends of life. It is difficult for me to say if I have one or some favorite discs, without forgiving some very especial album. However, today I chose to talk about an album (among so many), which I could name for different reasons among my list of favorites.
Considering the centenary of Violeta Parra, I will write about the album that immortalized her greatest hits: "Las Últimas Composiciones", which predicts the future because some months later Violeta committed suicide.
In this album you can see the variety and flexibility of Violeta's work, showing various motifs in her lyrics and music, and reflecting the result of her profound work as a compiler and her wonderful creative talent. Also, is important to say that to name Violeta Parra, is to name the rescue of the popular Chilean music and the begining of a process of valorization of the same one,  that until today is thanked in spaces of academic music.
In conclusion this album is on my list of favorites because it preserve the legacy of Violeta Parra, who is an example for every creator of the world of popular music.

As additional information, The Rolling Stone Magazine in its Chilean edition chose this album like the best disc of all the times.

 Hello classmates, one of my favorite movies, which I think everyone, should see (many times) is called Matrix. In the film, the matrix is a virtual simulation system to which humanity is connected, which is driven by the machines that defeated humans after a war, and through which they extract their energy. This film was directed by the Wachowski sisters and its main actors were Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss and Hugo Weaving. This film emerged at the beginning of 2000, a moment in which the questioning of the risks of artificial intelligence began to interest humanity. In my opinion, this saga has been an inspiration for many films that emerged later, being a contribution to the genre of science fiction. For me, its mix of action and good special effects added to a script full of philosophical references make this film keep you immersed in its plot, being necessary to see the whole trilogy to understand it. On the other hand, I think it's a film of those tha...

R egarding my work plans the truth is that I don’t imagine having an only one job. Although I love to put energy into long-term projects, the certain thing is that my interests are wide and diverse and I would like to live the emotion of dedicating myself to several things. To me, the most important thing is to be a singer, composer, and lyricist of Uruguayan Murga, for this reason, I would love to be in important Murgas choirs and create several spaces where this genre can develop, from schools to prisons. Also, I imagine me in the future creating various projects linked to artistic interpretation, teaching, musicological research and cultural management but in different periods for dedicating exclusive time to each of them. In the case of money, I would like to get enough of this to cover my basic needs and maybe generate savings that allow me to travel at least once a year to other countries. On the other hand, I would also like to create an artistic cooperative because I firmly bel...
