JEFF BUCKLEY

Hello people!!!
Today I´m going to write a little about one of my favourites things: MUSIC!
Concretely about one singer that I think was one of the bests singers of his time!Unfortunately he isn´t now in this world but luckily his essence and songs are still with us.
I´m talking about Jeff Buckley.
He was an American singer born in California in 1966 and died in a tragic drowning accident in Memphis on May 29,1997.
Bucley began accompanying himself on electric guitar,in a tiny coffee house in New York.
In 1990 he was one of the most remarkable musical artist of his generation,acclaimed by audiences,critics,fellow musicians and a big inspiration for futures bands and singers.
One of his famous songs was "GRACE" which was the name of one of his albums.
He had a special and beautiful voice, with a very amazing feeling in his songs and compositions.
Jeff Buckley like others geniuses of rock n roll lived a short life but marked in the musical history.
Here in Spain he isn´t very well known, I discovered him because my brother that loves music too showed me one of his albums.
When I hear his songs I feel many deep sensations,they really have a lot of feeling! ,and it makes me think that there are persons that are born with a big talent and it´s great that they shared it with all of us.
I hope you find it interesting and hope to, that you cheer up and listen some songs of that incredible singer.
ah! one more thing I LOVE ROCK N ROLL!!! JEJEEJEJ
Here you can view a video from him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NApiP4PnQg8

Stereotypes

The topics that people of other countries have of us aren´t in general very positives: we aren´t hard workers and very lazy,a little ignorants,we only listen to flamenco music and the only typical food we have in Spain is the paella!they think too that all spanish people are in favour of bull fights and we still having that ancients thoughts and customs of many years ago(the deep Spain)!
In first place the topic that we aren´t hard workers isn´t true, you only have to see how many spanish people have to resort to psychology terapies because of the stress they suffer day a day at consequence of work.
Ignorants?? ignorants are the people that think that Spain is a city of mexico or of another place of South America!
About culture i have to say that i´m proud that flamenco music was created in Spain because is all pure passion and with many feeling!thats the reason because many peole of other countries, for example japan, love this music.
It´s true that one of the most typical gastronomic dish we have is the paella but there are a big variety of healthy and delicious dishes famous too.We called it "mediterranean diet" considered the best healthy and balanced way to feed us.
Fortunately now a days in Spain we are a big number of people that hate bull figts and hope that one day dessapear that terrible costum that make us feel ashamed.
Finally and in the other hand i have to say that people that visit our country goes with a good sensation of us;they think we are very kind and hospitality people and with cities that got a lot of charm, beauty and with a magnificent weather.Many of them in the future they will return or perhaps they still enjoying of these little piece of land full of magic!
