Peruvian Cajon:_ a box with sound

I really love learning to play instruments, when I was at school I used to sing too, singing is an instrument too, but I remember that my music teacher used to use a piano to teach the class and the sound was amazing. When I started secundary I couldn't go to music class to sing but I started to play cajon peruano








Peruvian cajon is  a box-shaped percussion instrument since the late 18th century. The cajon has been played in a variety of ways, according to the influences it has been under over time.When I started learning this , it was so hard , firstly because it was the first instrument that I learnt and then because some peruvian songs are so fast , but I enjoyed it , it is a shame I haven't any pics about presentations we had at school or in other places. When you are playing cajon it is like dancing sitting there , because your hands are touching there and your arms move to the beat of music. Amazing sensation ! 

Do you like playing instruments ? which one?

Urban Art

What do you think about urban art in streets ?


In Peru it is common to see walls painted with graffiti and many paintings. Some of them are really good, as if done by a professional painter. I remember going to a conference of art the last Year in the Christian church, which I attend, and a guy showed us some of your art, very creative indeed, and I said to myself :  I really want to have this talent , Im a bad drawing so It is just a wish. Today I was surfing on internet and looking some of those paintings I found good paintings that I wanna share with you.
