Anne & Xalpen

    Today I have to talk about an anthropologist that I like. I really don't know so much anthropologist yet, because I am in my first year of the career and, at the moment, I just know the classical authors. But I decide to talk about Anne Chapman. 
    
    Chapman was born in 1922,France and she died 2010,USA. She was a famous anthropologist thanks to her ethnographical works with natives from Tierra del Fuego, Chile and Argentina, specially with Selk'nam. Her life with Selk'nams started in 1964 and she wrote books and filmed documentaries about her experiences and about the way of life of these culture.
    
    I can't say that I love her but I really like the work that she could do because she was the last foreign person who lived with Selk'nams, she had the opportunity to know the last real Selk'nam: Angela Loij. Also, she documented the traditions of these comunity of hunters-collectors and thanks of her now we can know a little bit more of these culture because, today, Selk'nam doesn't exist. 

    I really like Selk'nam culture but they were wiped out by the colonizing forces. Because of that I think that read Anne Chapman's work is an act to remember our past and our real origin. 

In that picture we can see Anne Chapman (to the left) with Angela Loij (to the right) the last Selk'nam. 

Mike Patton

Hello! Today I am going to talk about my favorite music artist... I don't have one favorite artist so it was a little bit difficult. I think on Spinetta, Sid Barrett, Cerati and others but i decided to choose Mike Patton. 

His name is Michael Allan Patton and he born in 1968 at California. He is a singer, composer, producer, actor and plays a lot of instruments. He is known for been the principal singer of the band: FAITH NO MORE but he plays in other bands like: Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantomas, Escape Plan, and others... His career as a musician started when He was only 17 years old with Mr. Bungle, when he was a "rebel teenager".

I like him because he can play and sing a lot of music styles like alternative rock, funk, jazz, trip hop, noise, punk, etc. In one song he is aggressive and other he is romantic, he screams and then mutters... He is very diverse and versatile on his music. I will show you that later, when I public two different songs of him. And also, i think he is very cute specially when he was young, like in the picture that I publish.


In one opportunity he, with Faith no More, came to Chile to the Viña's Festival. It was like one or two years after the dictatorship finished. They played their music and the public started to jump and scream with them, it was like people expressed all the repression that they lived on dictatorship time. Personally, I see him in one opportunity on a concert with their group Tomahawk, last year. It was amazing and I was happy for days. 

There is a song of him with Faith No More, one of my favorites, I hope you like it ! Faith No More - Evidence
