Music is one of the most important things in my life, it's like "the doors" song: "music is you special friend...until the end". I can't be without listening to music for a long time, every day I have to listen something, maybe because I feel good and calm when I listen to it, and sometimes is useful to vent myself.

I listen different kinds of music, from rock to folk . For example, I like to listen music of the 60's and 70's, and even earlier music, like jazz and blues, swing and soul. Well, I like classical music too, because my father listen that kind of music, so he instill it to me. In the other hand, I like Latin American music, of different ages and of different styles. I like grunge too, indie rock,and other "isolated" bands (like Emir Kusturica and the no smoking band, and Goran Bregovic, for example). But maybe my favourite band is "The Doors", though I like "Pink Floyd" a lot too, and "the beatles" and "Led Zeppelin". Other singer I think I like a lot is Silvio Rodríguez and Manuel García, so maybe I don't have one favourite band or singer. I hear a lot of rock music, maybe because I hear that kind of music since I was a little girl, and the same thing happen with folk music (of Chile).

I think I have a lot of favourite songs, for example "revolver" and "the white album" are some of The Beatles albums that contain many of my favourite songs. There are a lot of songs of Silvio Rodríguez, Angel Parra, and Vìctor Jara that I like a lot. But my favourite songs are, in this moment: "Happiness is a warm gun" (The Beatles), "Mr. Tambourine man" (Bob Dylan), "The lemon song" (Led Zeppelin), "Since I've been loving you" (Led Zeppelin), "I am the walrus" (The Beatles), "When the music's over" (The Doors), "Love her madly" (The Doors), "Unza Unza time" (Emir Kusturika), "Hyacinth House" (The Doors), "hello, I love you" (The doors), "canción de elegido" (Silvio Rodríguez), "sonrisas de papel" (Silvio Rodríguez), "yo te invito a caminar conmigo" (Silvio Rodríguez", "La era está pariendo un corazón" (Silvio Rodríguez), "hoy no quiero estar lejos de la casa y el árbol", and "free bird" (Lynyrd Skynyrd).

I've been to many concerts, actually, of different bands of different ages, but my last concert was last semester, of Kiss. I went with a friend and with my father, my sister and my brothers; there were a lot of people, of different ages, actually, there was a couple of old people. I also went, a couple of years before, to a Franz Ferdinand concert, to a Deep Purple concert; I've seen Emir Kusturika, Inti Illimani, Quilpayún, Congreso, Los tres, Angel Parra Trío, James Brown, and many more. I've been to the opera too, many times with my father and sister, and I really enjoy it.

I used to play the piano, but I haven't played it in a long time, I also can play some songs in the guitar, but I'm not so good, maybe because I'm just a beginner.
