Thank you for the music

I can not say I am fan of a specific kind of music. I would say I have eclectic tastes as far as music is concerned: Whatever type of music it is, what matters to me is the quality of the music and of the lyrics. However, I have to admit I really do not appreciate metal and that I am not found of hard rock and rap either. I enjoy rock, pop and folk, especially bands from the 60’s and the 70’s. Moreover, most of the discs I listen to are soundtracks. I especially enjoy the soundtracks of “The boat that rocked” – my favorite-, Forrest Gump, Garden State, Shrek, Dirty Dancing… I also have to admit that I frequently listen to the recording of some musicals, singing in chorus with the characters of Grease, Singing in the rain or Moulin Rouge.

I am pretty bad at downloading music so I get it from my sister who likes exactly the same music than I do. I like a lot of groups and singers, but I would say that what I have listen the most this last month has been Nouvelle Vague, a French group singing in English, and an Uruguayan singer called Kevin Johansen. I enjoy his sense of humor so much; the lyrics of his songs are both clever and funny! I have seen in concert several bands I really like in Santiago: Chico Trujillo, Banda Commotion, Manuel Garcia… I even had the luck to see Manu Chao’s concert in the Estadio Nacional!

I can not listen to music while I am working, it prevents me from focusing. However, I enjoy listening old pop songs, like Madonna or ABBA, when I am cleaning or tidying my room.
