Music!

Hi everyone! Today I want to share my musical tastes, including my top bands and songs
   I think music represents a different thing for every person. In my case, songs are not important for being bad or goods, they mean something for me because they help to evocate important moments in my life which are impossible to describe in other way (like a soundtrack)
  I remember that when I was 5 or 6 years, I listen for the first time a marvelous song called “Hotel California”. At that moment knew that I like music (and very much). I started with bands like “Los Prisioneros” and “The Beatles”, because it was the music that my parents listen at home. I knew all the song and lyrics, until one day my older brother came at home with the cassette of an unknown band for me: “Korn”. At this moment I started to diversify the bands that I listen: “Limp Bizkit”, “Blink 182”, “Red Hot Chilli Peppers”, etc…Music became something important in my life. Every day I returned from school and turn on the music really loud
   At the age of thirteen, my first boyfriend influenced me with the band that he most likes. One of those bands (and probably one of my favorites in the entire world) was Iron Maiden. It was also my first concert. It was a magical experience, and I became a fan of concerts for the energy that they have
   At the day, my musical tastes are very diversify, and includes grunge (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden), Chilean bands (Los Tres, Los Jaivas, Illapu, Sol y Lluvia), classic and actual rock (Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppellin, Deep Purple, Credence, Faith No More) and metal music (Metallica, Iron Maiden, Sonata Arctica). My weakness is guitars. I love Santana, Eric Clapton and Joe Satriani. And of course, I can obviate the cumbian music 

The Mapuche conflict

Hi everyone! I want to give my opinion about the mapuche conflict, which has recently divided the public opinion in our country. First, I want to say that I completely support the mapuche cause, because I think There´re just victims of the economical interests
   This conflict it´s really old, but in the last decades has rebirth, principally because the increase of the education, which made possible the incorporation of a developed ideology in the minds of the mapuche´s leaders. They fight for their territorial autonomy and the recognition of their collective rights. This fight is against the State, who in the last years has clearly favored the foreign companies, which used those territories for forestall and agriculturalist exploitation. The consequences of this have reverberated on mapuches, and they have been expulsed of their own lands. They don´t have the economical mediums for defended themselves, and the worst part is that the national mass media, dominated by big groups of actionists, represent this people as terrorist, which produce that a big part Chile believe it. But the fact is that the national police put tools and guns in their houses to have excuses for arresting them. They are not even rewarded for used their territories
   The solution of this conflict seemed difficult to found soon. First, it´s vital that the Chilean State makes respect the Constitutional state, guaranteeing the property law and defending the public order. Also, the State has to create projects against the poverty of the mapuche people, and make programs of education and capacitating. The education has become an important tool for this people because has returned to them the conscience of people and dignity. The marginality of our ancestors has to be eradicated forever. They have to become agents of their own development, and not depend of the State
