Hello! Today I will write about an expert on my field that I admire. Until today, we had read many texts of different writers, but is difficult choose a person, because I think I must read more to can choose
The person who I will write is not a sociologist (he is an historian), but I think the History and the Sociology are very connected.
Eric Hobswaum, was born in Egypt, the 1917 and he was a Jewish and Marxist historian. He grew up in Viena and Berlin. His father and his mother, where jewish, but they didn't practiced the religion.
In 1933 he moved to London and started his studies.
Hobswaum is considered one of the most important British historian and his most important publications are: The Age of Revolution: Europe 1789-1848), The Age of Capital: 1848-1875 and finally The Age of Empire: 1875-1914
He died in 2012 in London
I don't know very well, why I admire him, but the truth is that I really like him. Maybe it is the vision he had of the world and his thinking.

Hello! Today I'm going to talk about music, specifically our favourite artist.
I really like listen Chilean music, like Los Bunkers (I think is my favourite Chilean band), Chinoy, Nano Stern, Intillimani, Los Jaivas, etc. I think my favourite artist is Manuel Garcia. He was born the 1 March of 1970 in Arica and he is a Folk singer ("trovador"). In the last time he had included more rock in his songs.
I like very much his songs, and the content their have. One of my favourites song is "Ninguna Calle" (I let you the video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfcWChqDjQU.





One of the reason I like him, is because he is a "conscientious" artist and he is a person like us, worried about the things that are happening in our country (social movement for example).
An other reason, are the melodies he use, I really like his style and I love learning the songs and then sing it with my friends.
I went to a concert he did in the "Teatro Caupolicán" and I have a really good time!
