My talent

A few months ago I did a presentation in my English IV class about my abilities, talent or hobbies that I have when I am out of the university. When the teacher told us about what we have to do, immediately I thought in present some songs of music in class with two friends of my band, I’m a bass player. I began when I was in high school at the age of 15, at the beginning it was like a hobby, I didn’t take it some important to understand deeply what the instrument offer me; but when I was in the university some friends told me about a band they wanted to create and I accepted their propose.

Since the time we began to play with that band I felt the necessity to understand what I was doing because I learned alone how to play the bass. And then now in this new project I had to study the instrument like a new career. The function that the electric bass have in a band

could be the most important because, how its name says, is the base of the group. It’s funny because people in general don’t know what important is the bass, they just know that guitar is the principal instrument and drums are the powerful, and maybe this interpretation is not at all incorrect because the bass is the bridge between these elements.

Now I want to talk of my band, we began a year and a half ago. We were invited to a festival that the University of Costa Rica realize annually, the name of the event is University Week, and it is to celebrate the anniversary of one greatest achievement that Costa Rica has, this achieve

happen in 24 April 1970, and it was about the opposition to explode minerals in the south of our country, this was another day that Costa Rica put its name in the World Green Countries. When we received the invitation we were so excite, and we rehearsed songs that a friend had to a previous band. At the day of the event many friends were to see us, we were so nervous because we never had been in this kind of situation but when we started play our music all changed.

And well, in this moment we have more or less 10 original songs, we are 7 members, and we have many projects. One of our objective is be listening by the people and we want that they understand our critic, our dream is inspire the people with the music because music is power and can move many interesting ideas.
