One on ONE with Salvador Allende


I guess that the president of Chile in the years 1970 to 1973 is a very interesting person for talk about his life or political things. In the history of Chile this a president very important, because he was a socialist that won the election in democracy. He tried to make various changes, but a part of the poppulation don't want this changes and they support a sabotage of government; in September 11 th of 1973 the militaries take the power (with support of the people with more money in this country) and kill to Salvador Allende.

My connection with Allende is for my family, they work in his government and they dreamed with a better society, more equality and a country that hased a relation of peace with another’s countries.

If he was alive i ask him "What happened? Why all was destroyed?", and show him how is the country how the militaries imposed the capitalism system, how the society is more individualist and how today isn’t a big movement of political organizations. Finally i ask for he that teachme all that he know about of political participative, and that he will go with me to watch a soccer match of Colo -Colo (of course).

Ok this all friends.

Bye.

My fovourite Song


When i read the instructions of this entrance i say "well in this moment i haven´t a song many favurite", but then thing and say "but in my personals tastes always are a song that i like", this song always is the first.

The first time that i listen the song i was 16 years old, in that time i don't understand what want to say the song but i only liked it because the rythm is very different to another songs of that kind of music. Two or three years after i watch a video of the group and the song was traduced to the spanish, in that moment i liked the song many more because the rythm was good and the lyric was good too.

In this moment you can ask me ..."and What is the song? or What is the group (band)?", well the answer is....before of this i can say that when i listen the group for first time i was very fan of "Los Prisioneros" they was a very important band of rock/punk/political of Chile, and they bassed their songs in a england band....The Clash.

My favourite song is the first (and the single) of the disc "London Calling", and it has the same name of the disc...London Calling. The band was very important, not just for the rock or the punk, because this band integrated many kinds of musics, they formed in 1976 and disbanded in 1986.

Ok and this is the song:


London Calling

(Strummer/Jones)

London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war is declared-and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look at us
All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

CHORUS

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and draw another breath
London calling-and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

CHORUS

Now get this
London calling, yeah, I was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you give me a smile?
I never felt so much a' like

My first time in Monumental stadium



When i was litle boy my father say me "you are of the best team of Chile", i ask him "and what is that team?"..."Colo-Colo" say he. With this story i start my description of the place that i liked.




In a match of Colo-Colo versus "universidad de Chile" he invited to me and my brother for watch the match in the stadium, this stadium was the "Monumental David Arellano".




I don't remember how many years i was, but if someone know the score of this classic matches in the years 1993 and 1994 is the only that finish in "0" in this stadium.




Finally, i can say that the most impressive thing of that match is the fans of Colo-Colo was three or four times more that the others fans. That was one of many others reason because i am of Colo-Colo because is the best team (more champion wons), is the mos populated (3 of 5 chileans is "colocolino") and always give happynes to his fans.




Actually i go to the stadium always that i can (when i don´t work), and i have many friends that i meet in this place, because in the fields of this stadium many things and many feelings are captured in my memory.

Ok.

This is all.

Bye and "ChAlBo".
