What was the first rock opera of the story?

The first rock opera album in history was the SF Sorrow (1968), the English group Pretty Things. This was one of the most ambitious of his time, and their songs are chronicles the descent into hell of Sebastian F. Sorrow, a character created by the band's vocalist Phil May.However, poor distribution, lack of quality and criticisms made soon fell into oblivion.

Tommy (1969), the British group The Who, because of its extreme popularity, good production and originality, is considered the first rock opera album, whose songs follow a narrative line progressively completed. The whole album tells a story. The subjects were most successful 'See Me, Feel Me' and 'Pinball Wizard'.

Years before there were conceptual albums whose songs revolve around a specific topic, the former were conducted by the U.S. group The Beach Boys Little Deuce Coupe and went (1963) and Pet Sounds (1969). Source: 101 Albums That Changed Popular Music Chris Smith / The New York Times

My guitar

Hi really I don't know that I have to write but I'm thinking tell you about my guitar.

I love playing it and it's interesting for me because I haven't taken classes only I have watched videos in "you tu", and I have practiced a lot of and hurt with my fingers because when you start to play guitar the strings hurt you. I have played guitar since 3 months ago, and I can tell you that I play 3 songs.

Well I hope that you have a good weekend and see you tomorrow!! :)

Maths are everywhere

Even though many people won't accept it, maths are everywhere and you can find it in places and things that you would never imagine. Like this article here: http://alt1040.com/2011/10/investigadores-crean-algoritmo-capaz-de-combatir-el-crimen-en-las-bandas
It says that some researchers have created a mathematical algorithm that is capable of predicting which gang is more likely to have commited a crime, based on a previous analisys of the behavior of the gangs of a district in LA. This algorithm is a great help for the police in LA and at least to me is a good demostration of how useful mathematics are. So it doesn´t matter if you hate it or love it, maths will always be very close to us and our enviroment.

My passion

Music inspires everything I do, talking about personal life and my all activities,
and I have been deciding important choices and it depends of my musical mood. Every day I wake uplistening songs and it makes me pretty happy.
But my favorite band it's called "Rammstein" and people think they are strange or their music is weird, but is not true, they are normal persons with normal lifes.

I can say that If I didn't heard before Rammstein band, I wouldn't be like I am in this moment.

I love its lyrics and when I listen to their music the feeling I have is spectacular and I can't stop singing and moving my feet.

When I see their video concerts my skin bristles but it's very different when we are in their concert singing, jumping and enjoying every second of that special moment.

I love everything they do in their concert, they are like music's god for me.

I'm pretty proud of them, the first impression was their lyrics and their music style is just unique And really IT'S UNIQUE.

It's difficult to understand them because of the language and I want to learn german.

I'll never regret of meeting Rammstein's music because Rammstein is a feeling, complets my personality and my life.(ok that sound exagerate!)

City for myself

I was trying to found a team for my first post at this blog...
I could't found it.. so I'm going to talk about a simple thing..

The last death day... was a holiday day..
because some people weren´t went to work or school.. so the city was perfectly quiet and calm...
the subway, the highway, insurgentes avenue, reforma avenue, etc.
People crowed, stucked in traffic, doesn´t exist that day..

that's why I love the holiday days...they are the most amazing days..

Well, the only thing that wasn't good.. is that i have to go to work...that wasn't any good..
But I enjoy the city!!
meanwhile the people were at in their homes. I was seeing how amazing a city could be almost for a day..!!

My first post

The last class the teacher said us that we could talk about anything in this blog, so I will share one of my greatest pleasures, the music.

The truth is that I do not play any instrument and I didn´t had any musical training in my life, but I really like the fact to hear music, I don´t take the music as a hobby because the music is more than that for me, the music is food for my soul, it is a necessity for my body, is like a medicine or like a drug, I need it.

There are some studies that have shown how music can help to develop intelligence and focus on the children, for example some Mozart songs have this quality. The studies showed that children who has listened a song of Mozart put more attention on their homework.

That's all for now. I hope you like it.

She began her musical career in the 70´s singing with groups of young students who shougt in latin american music and songs of protest a space for their rebellion. The year 1985 is emblematic for her and her fans, while Eugenia´s voice won the Festival OTI in Sevilla, Spain with "Fandango" song, Mexico began to recover from the earthquake that destroyed part of Mexico City on 19 September. Eugenia León in her long journey she has gone through different music challenges such as tango, norteño, bolero, danzon, salsa, kid´s song (Cri cri), latin american music and classics of the ranchera song, so she is a versatil singer. She also performed very memorable duets during her TV show "Acustico" which she hosted for three years. She has recorded 25 albums. Eugenia Leon has done very succesful concerts in international , such as Shangai, Cairo, Marrakech, Morocco, Barcelona, Brussels, Bogota, Santiago de Chile, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, Tucson, Houston, Lisboa, Hanover, Aichi (Japan), etc. The last month sees the birth of the new CD "AGUA DE BEBER", (I was there) a beautiful tribute to the Bossa Nova and Bolero Music.
