Vuelta y vuelta

Today I'll write about Congreso, a chilean band that was born in 1960. I think they're isn't my favorite band, but they're one of the favorite band of my parents, and that makes me write with more inspiration. Since I was a baby I heard that kind of music in my house; for example, few years ago in my father's birthday I was poor and I made a CD with the best songs of this band for him.

They have many songs, so much and so different  They used to play music with instruments from South America, but also they included instruments from Africa and classical percussion.

I remember I went with my fathers at two or three concerts, because my father's job is related to that, and they're old friends with old members of Congreso. It's a magical moment, with not too much people (in a big place), but everybody was people that really loves that music, they felt the same that the musicians, there was no difference between they and us and it's feel so different if I compare that with other concerts.

My favorite song is "Vuelta y vuelta", cause it shows the simplicity of the things and, at the same time, how complex and fascinating they can be. This version is special because they were playing after one of the band's member died, it shows how special they're, they said: "The soul is broken, but the voice have to come up whole".
