Gotan Project


My favourite group is Gotan Project , they play electronic tango, a new kind of music that came from a diferent way to make traditional music, in simple words electronic tango is a mix between classsical Tango and electronic sounds. Gotan project usually keeps the classical 2X4 rhythm of the tango but mixed with electronic sounds, also they often mixed instruments like "bandoneon", the tradicional instrument of tango and Argentinian folk in general.

Gotan project begins in Paris when the DJ Philippe Cohen Solal, Christoph H. Müller y Eduardo Makaroff started to mix jazz, electronic music and Tango, the last member of the band ,Eduardo it´s the argentinian musician that play bandoneon and guitar. In the year 2000 they made his first Hit : "Vuelvo al sur" then became important in the escenary of electronic Tango , "La revancha del tango" was the second album in the history of Gotan Project, that sold a million copies.

Also Gotan Project has an interesting name: the word Gotan it is Tango but in reverse, that kind of name came from "lunfardo" an interesting way to write words in Argentinian popular culture.

I like Gotan project because i dance Tango and i had the oportunity to heard electronic tango and i think that`s a very nice mix between tradicional music and new kind of music like electronic. also it feels very nice dance the soft mix of jazz, electronic and tango; it is a perfect combination.

mi lovely celphone


A mobile phone is an electronic device used for mobile telecommunications over a cellular network of base stations known as cell sites. I have my first cellphone when i was in sixth grade, my ant gave me a beautiful cellphone i used a long time , for example when i was a teenager i called my parents when i went to a parties. but in a bad day my mom wet my mobile, and i have to wait until grow up for a new cellphone. Today i use mi cel in order to be comunicated with my friends, my boyfriends , and my parents, everyday i use my celphone because i like to be in permanent contact with the people that i care and that i love, for example i always miss my uncles that who living in Calama, and usually send sms using my cell.

i like my cellphone because its to easy be comunicated with a person that i care or for situassions like homeworks, parties, gatherings you can call using a mobile and say " im late" an people dosn´t have to be worried about you.also i like my cell for another functions like the camera that includes all modern mobilephones.

life in general its more easy when you have a better comunication between people, but if we don´t have a celphone i suposse that we get used , because the celphone has not always existed.

mmmMMmmmMMMmm Sushi!

In the 1960s, Los Angeles, sushi chefs from Japan came to The united States and made popular this typical dish from Japan . Mashita Ichiro, of the Tokyo Kaikan restorant in Los Angeles invented a new roll of sushi called California Rolls, because Americans didn`t like raw fish, a particular ingredient of the tradiconal sushi, so Mashita created a sushi whit crab, avocado, and cucumbers.How ever the ingredients of the actually california rolls are diferents, for example American sushi chefs have created many variations with unique names such as Spider Roll, Philadelphia Roll, and Rainbow roll.

The california rolls that i like is the
Philadelphia Roll, for make this unique dish you need:
  • race
  • vinegar
  • salt
  • sugar
  • avocado
  • raw fish like salmon
  • algae Nori
  • philadelphia cheese
then you have all this ingredients you can start make the sushi, First you have to make the rice: put it in a bowl, wash the rice until the water becomes transparent. then you have drain the rice , after that , cook the rice whit 900 cc of water. when this over, yo have to add salt, vinager and sugar to the rice and wait for the absortion of the condiments.

After the preparation of the rice , cut the avocado and the raw fish in stripes, take the Nori algae and put in a bamboo mat, then strech the rice all over the Nori, put the stripes of avocado and fish and roll whit the mat.

I really love this dish because i think its very healthy and its a very concentred flavour, and i love this kind of food. Also its the fovurite food of mi boyfriend , and always cook this lovely dish.
