For me, music is something that goes away from reality. This extraordinary thing makes me feel happy; makes me go away from the problems that i have every day. I listen all type of music every single day: at home, in the library, in the street, in the bus, travelling to my home, travelling to my practice, etc. a admire all type of music.
I like all sorts of music because i think that each song have a purpose and it is a peace of art, but i like specially reggae, jazz, soul, and mostly hip hop and rap (in difference between me and my teacher). I hate reggaeton because i think that have no sense or purpose showing the defeat of the man. Reggeaton talks about money, woman (treated like things), sex and material things.The truth is that i don't have a favorite singer but i like a lot Bob Marley, A tribe called quest, Ana Tijoux, Jimmy Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Los Tetas, Natiruts, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Amy Winehouse, Notorious Big, Nas, Los Amigos Invisibles, Portavoz, Liricistas, Jurassic 5, The Beatles, etc. I like them because they have or had always wanted to transmit a message, like peace, unity, armony, and sometimes they talk about they philosophy, what they really live in the place were they were born. They talk about respect and values that are always be present in our lives.
I love concerts and i think it is a great inversion, that's why i often pay to see the artists that i like. Recently i went to see Ana Tijoux in a bar and it was wonderful I don't think that rap is all bullshit. I think that rap can express what people feel about our system or politics, about daily routines, talks about real values, like friendship, respect, love, and many things and feelings that others genres don't have the capacity to express. Talks about what people really need in our society and justice. Rap music is something that shows and teach us whats is real in life and teach us what we can do with this reality.I listen to the radio every day in my kitchen with my brothers and family and its cool because we discover new music.
The first memory of learning a song that i have is when i was in school, i learning "Los lagos de Chile" . We had to memorize this song and play it with a "Zampoña".About 3 or 4 years ago i learned to play traverse flute but i have forgotten how to play it. Now i want to buy a new Saxophone but all i need is ca$h.
Music is so important for the world. When i write this i think in what would be the world without music. Music is the component of the human that makes him think about the real things and real problems that are present in the daily life. If the music doesn't exists the were no thinking and no expressive in the acts of the man. This thing that we call music is the expression that characterizes each culture and have a signification to all the people. With music we can show ideas and solutions to the problems of the people.

Bob Marley's music is full of meaning, I have to say that I really enjoyed reading this post. Music says a lot about our selves, and it's very nice to meet you this way c:, take care!
