Masculinity in 21th century


When the people ask me about the gender and the relations of this, I always think in the social constructions, structures that are building in the mind of the people, and are very strong in the social reality, but now, the differences with the past century are the questioning with the social practices and thoughts with the roles of gender.
The family teach to their children how relation are, are not in a verbal way, otherwise that all the children watch how the people are implicate. When I wrote "family" is for one example, because, now the concepts of the family change much too. In this way, the feminism changes the perspective of see the family and the masculinity, there are families with two mothers, two parents, one mother or one father with their daughters or sons. Also, the roles changes with that, because, now the female role is very different with the past century, years and years of protest and the vindication of the women in the social structure are present now, the upbringing of children is not only a job for woman, and actually the men are more implicated with that.
With the previous idea, I could go in depth and say that the values of the society are different that before. The masculinity and the idea of "strong" related with that construction, in the young people  lack of sense, this generation have more sensibility that the others generations, and this allow a vision more conscious of the social relations with women and men.
The past year, in Chile, the feminism movement are very powerful in the universities. The women don't be afraid for denounce the abuse or harassment in their places. With that, the manifestations in a country made a loud very strong, and the other women replicated this actions.
For build a society with values of feminism and more justice are important for all the people, the work and the social activities in the way that the all the genders (because there aren’t only two) can be like they want to be is essential.
Finally, the construction of gender like a masculinity domination are a reality that should be changed, for a conscious of all the people is same in the nature and in the society.

Tom: a singular cat


Since 2015, Tom, a "blue russian" cat, arrived to my home, it has 3 moths of life. I was alone inside my house when I decided to get a cat, because is very unpleasant this sensation.
Before, I only had dogs, but in that time I see the cats with other eyes, are a very especial kind of feline, I like the felines, and the singular way of they looking, his movements and the relation with the other animals. So, I was alone in my home because my mom went to vacations, and with a friend we went to get the animal into a house of other friend. And when my mother arrived to home, said "what kind of rat is it?", and very angry told me about the responsibility, the determinations about the house, etc. She told me that it was to left the house. I promised that I find a new home from it. But... I didn't can. 
After a few weeks, my mom understand the reasons because I need this pet. And later, She love It. 
Tom, It's a very special cat, It's very cute, shy and cuddly, very quiet to. I see it like a little brother, I feed it every day, with cookies and water, It's not very fat, but neither skinny. It always meow when has hungry, and when I arrived to home. To I love to play with it, like if I was other feline and run across the house follow it, or with objets that entertain this attention. 
The importance of this animal in my life is very great, a wonderful creature that generate empathy, happiness, and other things very specials. Have a cat is a experience unique, they are creatures of magic, think about the relation with the Egyptian and this essence of silence are incredible.

Concert in the festival Suiça Bahiana: The most beautiful experience in my musician life.

Last july, with my Ska-Funk band called "La Pichanga", we received a mail of an invitation from Vitoria da Conquista, a city of the state of Bahia in Brasil. The invitation said that our band was selected to play music on live for the festival "Suiça Bahiana", on Sunday, October 21st of the same year. Then, we traveled twenty four hours, we arrived in Vitoria da Conquista, and we stayed ready three days before the concert in the city. We met the production, the people that organized the event, and they show us the stage and parts of the city. It was a very amazing week, I met people that I never know that I met, I enjoyed a lot of food particular of Brasil, fruits to, etc. 
So, the day when we played music, was a very incredible, I will never forget the reaction of the people, the energy of the stage, and our happiness at the moment when we finished playing. We played at night, to eight o'clock, and there is rain, with a little of cold, and for this, the festival called Suiça, the season more cold in Conquista was in Octuber, and for our surprise, the people went to the concert in spite of that. After the concert we celebrated and went to a party with the production, we drank a lot of cachaza and the next day we got ready for to return Chile.

I want to visit Colombia.

The land of the "Cumbia", the "Magic realism" and the very exotic places in the tropical way, are very exciting for me. Firstly, my expectation of a musical expression is on the way of my own experience playing trumpet, because I played a lot of cumbia in Chile, and know the differences could be very nourishing, is important to say that the notion of cumbia in the world are principally by the Colombian influences.

 Later, the poetic relation of this land with the literacy are very sublime, and not only in the books, otherwise in the way that the people tell his stories, I really love the culture in Latinoamérica of the oral narrative. Too, other think that I like to do is a connexon with the natural and exotic nature, the tropical fruits, the food, etc. 
I think that I would like visit Colombia like tourist, in my holidays, to the “San Andres” island, a very tropical place for explore the beach, the ocean, and the nature vibes from one kind of paradise.


 Although I listened that Colombia is a very dangerous country by the crimes and the drug trafficking, I really want to visit once upon in my life.
