VOY A UN CONCIERTO!!!
So, in conversation with my host parents a few nights ago I found out that one of my FAVORITE south american artists is going to be playing in Santiago this weekend!!!!! So I did some researching online and figured out how to go about getting a ticket . . and tonight my friend Sara and I are headed to see Jorge Drexler! I was introduced to his music when I stayed in Brazil over two years ago and I've slowly been collecting his CDs ever since. He is from Montevideo, Uruguay and he is a fabulous musician. I've included some of my favorite songs for you to check out if you want.
"Todo se transforma" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCjpqx3cXs0
"Mi guitarra y vos" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA_7L5olktk&feature=related
"La trama y el desenlace" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-oWFcp-DbM
Also, I randomly went to visit my Chilean friend Pablo to hang out and practice Spanish/English on Tuesday and I was invited to see the last showing of the Espectaculo de Luces. How funny that I got to see it after all!! I must say, it was so much more fun to see it in person!! I was getting chills watching it. And everyone was so happy: cheering, singing, whistling, etc. My friends were even nice enough to buy me my own "piso" (stool) to stand on so I could see everything, haha! Unfortunately I didn't have my camara so sorry there won't be any pictures!! I am going to try and get some pictures of my new friends this weekend- but bringing a big ol' camera everywhere I go isn't exactly the safest here so I may or may not be able to!
Other than that this week has been pretty tipical. Hopefully I will have more stories and things to talk about after the weekend!
Hasta luego!
