my favourite music group

I don’t really have a favourite music group because my tastes in music change over time.

Currently, my favourite music group is Cultura Profetica. They are four musicians from puerto rico : Willy Rodríguez, Omar Silva, Eliut González y Boris Bilbraut. they was form in 1996.

They have 6 musical productions and they have performed in the most important cities of latin america and USA.

Cultura profetica are not limited to a single musical classification, although, their musical base is the “reggae roots”. However take jazz, funk and electronic music, also rhythms of hip hop and ska and brazilian music. They achieve a unique sound, admired by many people.

I like because they are aware about the socio-politicals realities and motivate people to change.

They sing for the freedom, the equality, the nature and the love for his country but his lyrics reach around the world. Their songs are fresh and spontaneus, with contemporary and universal character. They are an original and motivator music group.

Their discography are Canción de alerta (1998) Ideas nuevas (1999) Cultura en vivo (2000) Diario (2002) M.O.T.A. (2005) Tribute To The Legend Bob Marley (2007). There are many songs I like as De antes, Protesto, Tempestad tranquila and more.

The last year cultura profetica visited chile in the ripcurl festival, and also presented in 2007, both times in santiago.

my ipod

I'm not a very tecnological person but i think that if i had to choose one, it would be my ipod. An ipod is a portable reproductor, you can play music, videos and pictures. Also have a couple of games. My father gave it to me for my birthday two years ago. It is silver and has 4GB of memory. To use it, you connect it your computer and upload your music o whatever you want. I use my ipod almost every day, in the bus, way to university, in the subway, when i’m traveling or i connect to my stereo. The music is very important for me, i need it and my ipod is the best solution for this problem, because i can take my music with me wherever. Also i like it because bother me the noise of Santiago, with my music isolated me from noise pollution. I think that my life isn’t be any different without my ipod, I think I can do my life without most of the technological pieces, however, would bother me much the environmental noise. Finally, i would like i Little more memory in my ipod, as a music lover is already too small.

The best food ever!

Today, i’m going to talk about my favorite food…THE GNOCCHI!
The gnocchi are a kind of italian food, are made of potato but it can make with many different ingredientes like pumpkin or ricotta. Like every pasta, the gnocchi are served with salsa.
The ingredients of gnocchi dough’ are: 1 kilo of big potatos, 300 g of flour, 2 eggs, salt and nutmeg.
First wash the potatoes and cook in their skins. When they are ready, peel and grind. Then add the flour and stir, finally add the salt.
Later turns the dough into a table and knead with hands, form thin and longs rolls and cut two cm each one.
To finish put them in a hot water pot on fire. Know that gnocchi are ready when they rise to the surface.
They are different types of salsa like bolognesa, putanesca and alfredo. My favorite is the putanesca that has olives, tomatos, aji, garlic and more. Its a mediterranean sauce.
I like very much this dish because mi grandmather cooked every Sunday when i went to see her since i was a child. Now, my grandmather its gone but my mother makes them like a familiar tradition.
