Psychotic Nation

What's so Psychotic?

Have you ever feel like you have always been "the eternal freak"? Well, I'm a 25 year old Chilean woman, and, as most of people would, I feel like I don't fit anywhere around here. One day, walking down the street, (I was on my way for signing on the electoral service... yes, I decided to be "a citizen"), I looked around and I saw a bunch of peolple, walking on the street, coming from "everywhere", going "no-where", and vice/versa, expending all their energy on their everyday life stuff, whatever it means, without noticing anything else but themselves, non caring for anyone else also... then I thought: Do I belong here? well, I don't think so, (sub-thought: Should I move to another country? should it make any difference? -I don't think so either), then- I thought- I should live on my own nation... ok, but that nation does not exists, that is completely out of reality, then that's kind of a psychosis...ok, so be it, let's create a Psychothic Nation, besides, it sounds kind of cool, innit? ok, so now that we are here, I invite you to be part of this nation, to be a "citizen", a psycho-citizen. Who knows if we can do better than our governors out there!

HIDMO

Hoy fui a Hidmo, un restaurante africano donde lo cool no es sólo la comida etiopeana (sí, me sonó raro también "comida" y "etiope" en la misma frase... de repente es otro estereotipo más)... también cada domingo toca una distinta banda africana... hoy se presentó Sheree Seretse & Friends. Mujeres africanas cantando canciones con percusión y trajes ad-hock, narrando historias de Zimbawee y haciendo bailar y cantar a todos los que estábamos ahí. Es la segunda vez que voy e independiente de la banda, el cuento es el mismo: Todos participan, y otra cosa curiosa, generalmente va la misma gente, músicos de todas partes del mundo: Jamaica, Brasil, Ghana, USA (obviamente)... hay toda una "escena" que se abre a distintos estilos musicales y que nos recuerda que la música africana es la raíz de muchos ,sino todos, los estilos de música más que hoy conocemos: Jazz, Blues, Rock, Cumbia, Cueca, Tango, Samba, etc...
