My Mp3 Player
My favourite piece of technology is my mp3 player. One of my friends gave it to me for my 27's birthday. I use it daily, mainly for listening my favourite music (that includes a very varied library, from classical music to hip-hop music)- I do it when I travel in the common transports, particularly when I travel to see my parents in Paine -because I spend one hour and a half going to their house. Also I usually listen some study text or some interesting book, because I use the Text-To-Speech technology to facilitate my reading, considered my visual impairement that makes it difficult to me to read on the bus. Otherwise, I use my mp3 player to record my university courses and other interesting activities like seminars, meetings, etc. I like this device because it allows me to enjoy my favorite music and to study and reading both. I guess I can live without it, but in that case life would be more silent and harder to me...

CULTURA PROFÉTICA
Cultura profética is a Puerto Rican music band. The play reggae music. I knew their music around 2002. but they debuted in 1998. They have 9 albums: 1998 - Canción de Alerta 1999 - Ideas Nuevas 2000 - Cultura en Vivo (Live) 2002 - Diario 2004 - Cultura en Directo!!! (Live) 2005 - M.O.T.A. 2007 - Tribute to the Legend Bob Marley (Live) 2010 - La Dulzura Their music shows a fusion with other rhythms, like Bossa Nova and Jazz. specially since their second album. Ideas Nuevas. Their lyrics concerns socio-political issues that shows their opinion about the political situation in Puerto Rico and Latina America -specially about the relationship with the U.S.-, and also about some social problems like discrimination, racism, etc. It's precisely one of the topics that I like in this band. In fact, the most I like is the combination between the social and political subjects characteristic of reggae music and a fresh style of reggae mixed with other music styles. My favourite song is "Protesto", because I agree to their social critics and also I agree with the way they consider the best to fight against that problems.
