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.

I really admire Jean William Fritz Piaget (1896 - 1980).
He was an epistemologist and a psychologist, creator of genetic epistemology. He is famous for his contributions in the field of genetic epistemology, for their childhood studies and for his theory of cognitive development and intelligence. Piaget was born in 1896 in Neuchatel, in the Francophone region of Switzerland.
Piaget was a precocious child who developed an interes in biology and the natural world. He was educated at the university of Neuchatel, and studied briefly at the University of Zurich. Piaget moved from Switzerland to Paris, after his graduation and he taught at the Grange-Aux-Belles Street School for Boys. The school was run by Alfred Binet and he stated that intelligence developement so Piaget assisted in the making of Binet's intelligence tests. It was while he was helping to mark some of these tests that Piaget noticed that young children cosistently gave wrong answers to certain questions. Piaget did not focus so much on tha fact of the children's answers being wrong, but that young children cosistently made types of mistakes that older children and adults did not. This led him to the theory that young children's cognitive processes are inherently different from those of adults. In 1923, he married Valentine Chanetay and they had three children, whom Piaget studied from infancy. From 1925 to 1929 he was professor of psychology, sociology and the philosophy of science at the University of Neuchatel. 
In his logical model of intellectual development he mention that intelligence develops in a series of stages that are related to age and are progressive because one stage must be accumplished before the next can occur. For each stage of development the childs forms a view of reality for that age period.
Next, the child must keep up with earlier level of mental abilities to reconstruct concepts. He defined this as an "spiral of concepts".
I admire Piaget because he created a new conception of education, which was very important and is important today too.

Hi there! well, here's a little about myself:


I was born in Providencia on February 1, 1994 at Santa María's clinic, just one day before my mom's birthday.
I went to Andalué's garden and then i started my school life in Verbo Divino's school where I made many friends. This school taugh me that there will always be people who care about themselves and not care about the lives of others, anyway, i could get out of that bubble and enter Universidad de Chile in 2013 to study psychology.
Basketball has always been my partner along my life and thanks to this sport i could enter to this good university.
I also like music, especially reggae, funk, hip hop and jazz and I listen to it everyday.
In my family we are 6: my dad and mom, Valentina my older sister, my brother Teodoro, my brother Ignacio, and then me, the youngest of the family!
My family and I have always liked to travel together or individually, bus what I really like is to travel with friends with a few coins!
See you around bro...

I will never forget the day i went to see the Maquinaria Festival in 2011.
Maquinaria Fest is a music festival of many different music styles but most of the music groups play rock but also contains a little of reggae and hip-hop. 
This concert was showed in Sao Paulo in 2008. Transistor Chilean producer bought and exported the brand to Chile to do it on October 9, 2010 at the Club Hípico of Santiago. Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus, Linkin Park and Pixies were the headliners.
After the great success of this festival in 2010, the concert was present in 2011, 2012 and also 2013.
The second version in 2011, which was on 12 and 13 of November, at Club Hípico of Santiago, was attended by over 100,000 people in the two intense days of music. I was there. There were three stages, and each stage played different styles of music .
I really enjoy it because many of my favorite groups of music were playing. This time the headlines were Faith no more, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Chris Cornell, Stone Temple Pilots, Snoop Dogg, Sonic Youth, Primus and Damian Marley. I was there to see Damian Marley, Snoop Dogg, SOJA, Violadores del Verso and Movimiento Original.
