Post 4: La lengua de las mariposas.

  Undoubtedly of the films that have marked me the most is "The language of the Butterflies". I remember I saw this movie when I was very young (8 years old). We saw her one weekend afternoon at home with my parents and cousins. My older cousin told us about the movie and then we decided to watch it. Is a Spanish film released in 1999. The history takes in a village in Spain in the first half of the twentieth century. Spain was in the second republic and the beginning of the civil war. It is in this context that the story of an eight year old boy named Moncho who begins to go to school takes place.

Post 3: Janis Joplin

  It's really hard to decide on just one artist that has inspired me but within the ones that came to my mind is clearly Janis Joplin.  Beautiful singer and person who vibrates intensely with music. Janis was born in Texas, United States in 1943 she was an icon of the hippie movement and the blues and rock of the 60's. My mom tells me that since I was little I loved listening to Janis. Sometimes a friend of my mom would take care of me and she loves Janis. Then we always listened to it together and then I would come home asking to listen to Janis hehehe... I think the passion and the sound of this woman caught my attention being so small and well to this day it continues to touch my soul. Listen to her interviews about how she lives music and then see this so beautifully embodied in her music it's really inspiring for me. She embodies total fluidity in music with and without audience and a passion given to music.
