Fiestas Patrias?

Hello everyone!
I know that I'm a little late but still I'm going to talk about Fiestas Patrias. In these last years I have not celebrate this date because I'm not such a patriotic person. I don't like fondas nor the alcoholic atmosphere prevailing. Besides, I think that if you want to have some fun with family and friends, you can do a barbacue and staff in any other day, when prices of beef and food are not so high.

I don't remember what I did last year for Fiestas Patrias, but I remember I went  to the beach with my family and my boyfriend about two years ago. We bought a lot of meat and food because we like cooking, and we made "empanadas", "choripanes" and roast beef. We also spend some relaxing time together. It was very nice.

I like traditional games like "rayuela". I think this is the kind of things that people should do in this celebration, because it's fun and you can play with family and friends.

In contrast, rodeo is not my favourite traditional practice, but I don't think that It should be forbidden or anything like that. Fortunately, rodeo is not that common. I prefer "corridas a la Chilena".

A song

I like music in general, but it's been a while since I enjoyed a song with lyrics because I prefer to listen to classical or instrumental music instead. Therefore, writing about a song can be a little too much difficult for me. So, I have to go back in time.

When I was a teenager I really liked Shakira, but since she started to sing in english she and her music aren't the same. She has lost her creativity and even her voice. This really bothers me!

Anyway, lets continue. Shakira is a colombian singer, known al over the world for her dancing style. She released her first album "Magia" in 1991, but her major debut was reached with "Pies descalzos" in 1996 and "Donde están los ladrones" in 1998.

I still like her song "dónde están los ladrones" because of its rythm and lyrics. I think they're great!. Just listen!
