Calle 13

First of all, I believe that we cannot have just one band, genre of music or song we like or that is our favorite. I think we have very bands or songs that are our favorites, so is hard to choose one among others.
Today I will write about a band I knew just some weeks ago, but I heard their music since then every day so far and I enjoy it a lot. The band I am talking about is Calle 13, a Puerto Rican band that exists since 2005.
This band is composed by the vocalist, composer and song writer called “Residente” (René Pérez) and his stepbrother “Visitante” (Eduardo Cabra) who performance the vocals and chorus, and play the piano too. Finally, the sister of Residente, also known as PG-13, makes the chorus’s vocals in some songs.
Calle 13 has three albums. The first album was homonym (“Calle 13”) and the singles of this album was “Atreteve te”, “Se vale to-to” and the polemic “Querido FBI”. The second album was called “Residente o Visitante” and the third was called “Los de atrás vienen conmigo” released in 2008.
The reason why I like very much his music is because, first of all, they mix very genres, especially Latin American’s music whit alternative regueton or rap music. And, the second reason because I like this band very much is that the lyrics are very good. Some lyrics are political centered; others are just extremely ironic or violent; or others are just fun.

Go to Parque Ingles

I think one of the most interesting activities, in my opinion, to do in long weekends or any time of the year is go to camping somwhere far far away of the civilization. Specially in places near to the Andes or far away in the south of Chile. Some years ago I went to a place called “Parque Inglés” and I had a very good time there.
Parque Inglés is located near to the Andes in the 7th Region, and I enjoy it a lot ‘cause I get drunk whit friends and ‘cause we were near to the nature. And every morning after parting we go to the river: the most cold wáter I ever knew. That is the secret key against the hungover.
I been in Parque Ingles twice, the first time was in 2008 and it was a small group (6 or 7 friends) but we have a nice time. And the second time the group of friends was bigger (like 12 or 13 friends) and that was a great summer.
Anyway, i’d like to go this summer some place far away of the city and have some days of rial camping, I mean like whitout cellphones, whitout, kitchen, just having a knife and materials to do a bonfire, doing some treking and some fishing if the place is able to.
Finally, if you are looking for some place to go camping this summer of any time of the year (except in winter ‘cause Parque Ingles is full snow at that time and maybe you meet a puma) go to Parque Ingles, I recommend it.
