When thinking about what I would like to do after finishing my degree, there is a postgraduate course that I would like to take: musicology. Currently, in the program of my career, there are some classes that are approaches to musicological research, but I think I need to have more tools to carry out a good investigation.  My objective is, on the one hand, to be able to systematize knowledge that the people (musicians, audience, etc.) generate about some genres of popular music which today only is transmitted by oral language, in order to contribute to its conservation and teaching, and on the other hand, to generate new knowledge through research.    I would like to have the subjects:   research methodologies, analysis of musical repertoire, history of popular music in Latin America and some subjects about organology. Regarding the place, I would love to take the postgraduate course in musicology dictated by the University of the Republic of Uruguay, because it has a research focus that I like a lot, and also, because it would help me a lot to live in the country where I can develop the artistic genre to which I dedicate myself: the Uruguayan murga.  In this way, I plan in the future to live a few years in Montevideo to be able to take this postgraduate course in person, and ideally, I would do it part-time in order to be able to dedicate time to work, and hopefully, also I will be able to sing in an Uruguayan murga. 

See you!

      I would like to research the Uruguayan murga, because although there are researches about the carnival, there aren't so many investigations about only murga. And from that base, I would like to address topics such as the sung voice, music and politics, music and society, among others.

 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...

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 r...

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...
