Comments: I love music, good music, and discovering new and old bands or albums that I've never heard before. In this sense, I like to collect records and CD's of a great variety of artists. I also like music with content, which is able to blend a good melody with great ideas, or poetic phrases that sometimes don't seem to make sense, but that one discovers when you pay closer attention to them. Music always has the potential to elevate the spirit towards greater ideals, or on the other hand to lead to hatred and prejudice, as has happened in some periods in history and political processes. I believe that cultivating music that leads to the building of dreams of unity may be an important contribution to society and its development.

Favourite ARKA songs:
Mi Ciudad
Los Pájaros se Vuelan
Jugando en el Viento
