The music I like

Music can be part of our daily routine, some listen it to relax, to feel motivated or just simply to enjoy it. Nowadays we can find a vast variety of genres, each one of them having a unique vision, history and most importantly, sound. 

 

My favourite kind of music is funk rock. This genre is primarily known by its catchy guitar riffs, the protagonism given to the bass and the powerful drums. Some known groups are Rage Against The Machine, Chancho en piedra, Fishbone, funkadelic. There is this group called Red Hot Chili Peppers wich I consider one of my fabourite bands. The band members are Anthony kiedis (vocalist), Chad Smith (drums), Flea (bass) and the returning John Frusciante  (guitar).

I got to know them by my cousin. It happened on a family reunion, meanwhile the food was being cooked we were watching some videos at his pc. All of a sudden he goes, “hey, have yo heard this song?” He proceeded to show me the video clip for Can´t stop, one of the peppers song. I was blown away, at fourteen years old I had never listen to something like that. So, from that day foward I carried them in my mp3. Later on I found their old albums, Mother´s Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik. I Liked the energetic feel throughout Mother´s Milk, the same energy was kept on Blood Sugar Sex Magik, adding some calm melodies into the mix, like Under the bridge and I could have lied. One of my favourite songs belongs to Mother´s Milk, the name is Higher ground and its a cover of a song named the same by Stevie Wonder. When I listen to these albums in particular I feel the urge to move, to do something to channel the energy they send thought the lyrics and the riffs. Now a days the band is still active and rocking. On the 24th of september, after 4 long years, they announced a world tour for next year! Some say this tour may be linked to the realese of a new album? Who knows, if they ever visit Chile I´d really like to see them.
