When I am asked what kind of music do I like? I think in many different ones, because I really don’t know which one I prefer. But if I have to choose, between my priorities are folk, salsa and trova music. These kinds of music have in common that they use many percussion’s instruments in the songs, therefore the songs are very nice to listen, and some are very good for dancing. When I want to listen this kind of music, I put different CDs or listen to it on the computer, and sometimes I tune radios where they put songs of these styles of music.
If I want listen folk music, I like “Inti-llimani”, “Los jaivas” and “Quilapayun”. For another side, I like the trova music because I think that some songs have beautiful lyrics, in this kind of music I love Silvio Rodriguez and Alejandro Filio (He isn’t very known yet in Chile), in my opinion his songs are very good to listen when I’m sad and when I’ studying, but the problem is that I lose the concentration very easily. With the salsa music is different, because this kind of music I prefer to dance, so I like the songs which are more moved.
In my opinion, the music’s effect is very interesting because many times just to listen to a song can help with your mood, as a musical therapy. The music fills my life, but above all the rhythms that I can dance.
