Music or...

Today I would like (me gustaría) to write and to know about your musical taste. Can you think of the first time you heard music in your life? I remember the radio was the first thing I heard each morning as a child, even before the birds. My dad would put the radio on in his bedroom, which was next to ours and inevitably, you would listen. I suppose that is what awakened my love for music in general.

I think music, just like other type of arts, can really move people. In my case, certain musical pieces and songs have made me cry, sometimes when I remember situations from the past, sometimes out of joy because it is so beautiful.  I think music as much as sounds in general are really important in my life. I love music and I love birds singing (I mean this kind of sound).

I always listen to music and I love live gigs. There are also a number of soundtracks (from movies)  I listen to all the time. For example Yann Tiersen’s “ Good bye Lenin” Sound track or “Cloud Atlas” which was written by a few authors (I strongly recommend both these films if you haven’t seen them, very different genres (historical tragicomedy, Science fiction). At the same time I love music from latin America, Africa and Europe. Different styles, more or less all sorts, however, I don’t know much about K or J pop and I am not a fan of reggaeton or really heavy metal rhythms but I will listen if there is nothing else on offer.
