Music, Movies, and Books

I like the cinema that has crumb. The Argentine, in black and white, in color, the French: Le Fille sur le Pont; an American: Tarantino; the Spanish: everything and Almodóvar; Brazilian: Cidade de Deus.

Music is fundamental for me. I started listening to rock, now I like everything that is listenable: bossa nova, flamenco, folk, classical music, I barely know it, but Bach's Branderburg concerts excite me, the singer-songwriters, the feeling of fado.

I love concerts and live music.

I like to read about painting. I like comics: Moebius, Sin City, Hugo Prat, Hell Boy. Some novel that I liked: The perfume, Lord of the flies, On the road to Kerouac, Irvin Whels, and the beat generation. Also Gabriel García Marquez and Saramago.
