Music In My Life

When I was a child I remember some songs of Chayanne, Marc Anthony or Elvis Crespo that my mother heard in those days, now I'm very distant from that kind of music: I think that is boring to listen the same music style for a long time. Despite this, my favourite style is thrash metal; it's aggressive, with powerful guitar riffs and drums that came directly from hell. Nah, just kidding; but I like the speed and the frenetic environment that thrash creates, it's a good motivation for moshing and put a fist in someone's face.

In my darkest past, I listened reggaeton only because it was a trend in my classmates and, obviously, I wanted to fit in the group. With the time I adopted the idea of not being one more of the group but a leader of that group, I don't wanted to be another sheep that blindly follows what other people say; so I took my own musical way to the metal. While I was developing a better sense of music, I learned to play the guitar, I learned to enhance my taste of different styles and how to enjoy them with the company of my guitar "Manuela" (a good name for a better mate): cumbia, salsa, rock, jazz, other kinds of metal, even reggaeton, pop and romantic songs (this was a good weapon with women when I had the time to spend in my guitar).

The most of my friends plays an instrument, violin, drums, bass, guitar, ukulele, piano, and others variations and some exotic instruments. And within my friends I can find a very big variety of music: metal and many of its variations, reggaeton, bachata and cumbia, even K-pop.

I've changed of favourite band a lot of times: at the beginning I liked Metallica, then I liked Judas Priest, then Sodom, then Pantera, then Slayer, then Testament... Currently I'm between Exodus and Slayer. Because, damn it's Slayer and Exodus! There's no other reason. Choose between one of them it's just like choose between a tasty choripan or an italian completo.

In the movies, the song that I most remember is "The Eye of the Tiger" from Rocky. That was the first song that I learned in guitar.
