I’ve developed a reoccurring hyperfixation on nueva canción chilena ever since last year and it’s making me even more excited on the idea of flying over there
#hello#like#it all started cuz one day I was like hm… I wonder what Chilean music sounds like#and I’m more drawn to older songs including more traditional kinds#first I discovered was Quilapayún#they’re beautiful#then through them I discovered Víctor Jara#who I’m STILL hyperfixating on#I know a load of his songs and studied his life and his impact and even watched a documentary on him and how his wife and daughters were#still fighting for justice for how he was killed#I cried#I’m still so mad that he’s dead he was the coolest ever#and then through him I discovered Violeta Parra#took me a while to really check her out tho cuz while I admired her#at first the shrillness of her voice hurt my ears but now I love it#there’s just something very Real and authentic about her voice#her daughter has a really great voice too#I also discovered Inti Illimani and Illapu and Chamel#they all sound insanely fantastic#and oh my god chamal has this chorus type of singing in it and their voices mesh together so so well hearing thems perfect audio stim for me#ugh#I’m so upset that the nueva cancion period ended so painfully FUCK THE CIA FUCK PINOCHET FUCK THEM ALL#speaking of them!! my bf had an old friend in school who’s dad was victimized to their torture!! burn in hell they all must burn#idk I haven’t told my bf about this#it’s not that I think he’ll judge me I’m just very self conscious of my more uncommon hyperfixations#and special interests…..#listening to the more upbeat nueva cancion music always puts a smile on my face and makes me wanna dance#I’ve listened to other Latin American music too including Peruvian#Argentinian Columbian Mexican and Bolivian#just briefly though but Latino music is just so fucking gorgeous I’ve always loved it

What was the first song you heard by 6? Oh man, I remember it like it was yesterday xD Four years ago, I was scrolling through tumblr, when a japanese blog I follow posted this video:
youtube
It was love at first sight.
What is your favorite song by 8?
I have SO MANY, my fave album for sure is “No More Tears”. I love the classic ones like “Crazy Train” and “Bark at The Moon”, but also love the underrated ones like “Let it Die” and “I Just Want You”.
What kind of impact has 1 left on your life?
Jesus, Queen is the band that gave me strenght in difficult times. I’ve been listening to Queen since I was in the womb (no seriously, my mom put her earbuds in her tummy to calm me). They’re my heroes.
What are your favorite lyrics by 5? Ok first of all, I love this band bc they sang about things like polyamorius relationships and menstruation. But I think my fave lyrics are from the song “Anesthesia”:
“Are a thousand tears worth a single smile? When you give an inch, will they take a mile? Longing for the past but dreading the future If not being used, well then you're a user and a loser
World reknowned failure at both death and life Given nothingness, purgatory blight To run and hide, a cowardly procedure Options exhausted, except for anesthesia - anesthesia” 
I’ve always think this shit is so powerful omg.
How many times have you seen 4 live?
Is this a cruel joke?
What is your favorite song by 7?
Again, so many it’s so hard to choose. My fave albums are “Los Bunkers”, “Barrio Estación” and “Música Libre”. Bc of nostalgia and teenage years a few of my fave songs are “Miño”, “La Culpa”, “Cura de Espanto”, “Llueve Sobre La Ciudad” and “Sabes Qué”.
Is there any song by 3 that makes you sad?
A bunch, actually. Funny bc back in that time people didn’t pay much attention to Nirvana’s lyrics, but for me they had a huge impact. Songs like “Dumb”, “Lithium”, “Been A Son”, “Vendetagainst” and “Oh the Guilt” make me hurt a little bit.
What is your favorite song by 9?
This cover (and this performance) are powerful as fuck.
youtube
It’s a bit sad to talk about this, bc something that still gives me so much joy and means the world to me comes from a place full of pain.
How did you first get into 2?
My first crush, when I was like 13, introduced me to this whole new world of heavy metal and underground bands. Thanks to him I listen to Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Crystal Castles, Radiohead and Tujiko Noriko. How did you get into 10?
I mean if you grew up in my family you’ll know about bands like Illapu, Sol y Lluvia, Los Jaivas and Quilapayún. They didn’t listen that much to Víctor Jara and Violeta Parra, but I wanted to know more about my folklore and my country’s history, so I sorta “discovered” on my own more about Víctor, and now almost all my family is a huge fan like me. (Btw todos estábamos emocionadísimos en el homenaje que Illapu le hizo a Víctor Jara en el festival).
