Blog 7: Music

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.

My favorites songs are “Treinta y dos días”, “4 luckies rojos” y “Paso 9”. The last one is because he colaborated with Cevlade, who is another great Chilean rapper.  

I can´t say that I like a specific type of music, I listen different genders because I usually like songs or artists by themselves.
