A Great Chilean Band

Hello everyone, today I'll talk about my favorite band. My favorite band is a Chilean rock band originally from the city of Concepción, his name is "Los Bunkers". "Los Bunkers" were born in 1999 and are composed for 5 members; Alvaro López is the vocalist, Gonzalo López in bass, Francisco Durán in guitar, keyboard and choir, Mauricio Durán in guitar and choir and finally Mauricio Basualto in drums.



"Los Bunkers" play a contemporary rock and including folk roots from Chile and Latin American. And I like this band because they are great musicians, they've created incredible songs since his beginnings, and also they've including traditional folk songs in his music, for example they collaborated with the tribute to Violeta Parra or doing cover of Víctor Jara and Silvio Rodriguez. I like this combination between the contemporary rock and the folk roots.


My favorite songs are “Ven Aquí” and "Canción Para Mañana" because these two songs show the talent to create and play songs to big level, showing that in Chile is possible that exist band who are at the level of global rock.

My Autobiography

Hi people, my full name is Alvaro Sepulveda Tapia (yes, only Alvaro, no middle name) but you can call me Alvaro. I'm 19 years old and I’m single. Also I study Public Administration career at the University of Chile in Santiago.
I was born on December 30, 1992 in Santiago, I've lived all my life in this city, and I live in the same house where I grew up. In my family we are five members; my parents who have been married for 26 years, my older brother who graduated last year from International Gastronomy Administration and he is working since 2011, my younger sister who is in her last year of secondary and finally I, the middle brother.
I studied in Santa Cruz School for fourteen years since 1997 (I did Pre-Kindergartner and Kindergartner in this school) and I graduated in 2010. The same year when I graduated I did the PSU test (with my own preparation) and I could get in to the University of Chile.
I love sports, I like to practice and see them on TV sport channels like football or tennis. Now I practice swimming and I play in a football team. Also, I like music, when I was in secondary I learned to play the violin and I learned to read musical score. I would like to learn to play more musical instruments.
