One of my favorites musicians is German del sol, more known as Mantoi, Tristan Vela or Buskapalabras. He is a Chilean rapper, writer and beatmaker. He entered to the world of hip hop around 1999-2000, when he was around 15 years old, and three years later he started to create his firsts songs. After one year he made his first album named “Primer Tomo”  but it was only listened by his closer friends. After that he released several albums, but my favorite may be “Nosecuenta” because the letters of the songs are smart, and poetics and the beats are cool too. I like Mantoi because he is not just a rapper, he is also a writer, and you can evidence that in his songs. He talks about Chile, social issues, and human being’s problems and uses a lot of literature's reference in his songs. I also like his personality, of which none knows too much, because has never been too famous and in the few interviews that some people have made to him, he seems as a simple and shy person.

One of the things that I want to study more in deep is Latin American art. So maybe I could do a PhD about Latin American expressions of art and then complement it with a PhD about Latin American social and cultural anthropology, that way I can relate art with its context. But I´m not interested in traditional art that you can experience only at museums, I´m interested in popular art. And not only visual art, I think that music, literature, theater and comedy can be art too.   Thinking about the future is difficult so these are only ideas, and maybe they will change in the process of the career. But I´m sure that I don’t want to study only in Chile, I would prefer to do it in Peru, Colombia or Mexico, and obviously not in a distance program, I hate online classes. I would prefer a part time course, so I can have a job and be able to dedicate to do other things. Anyway, one of the good things of studying anthropology is that you can work and keep developing your studies in a loo...

I haven´t thought about my future job. I think it is because since I started school all my ideas about the future has fell apart, everything has changed and I’m not sure about anything yet. Anyway, I don´t think I’ll do one thing for the rest of my life. I´m studying Anthropology and that means that work will never be the same, and that´s something good.  I don´t care if it is in or outdoor, I want to work with people and be useful, learn from them to be able to help with the things that I have learnt and the things that I will.  In my dreamer mind, I would love to contribute to change this strange world in the good way.  Traveling for me, is suuuper important, and not to enjoy it, but to learn from the different places, realities and people, and my dream is to do this in Latin American. But also, there are a loooot of other things that I hope I will do, like writing, have a restaurant, do art, music, and more, haha. Music and art are important to me, i think that if they...
