The rebel in me!
I just bought this film on DVD and must say that it is phenomenal. Motorcycle Diaries tells the story of a young 'Che' Guavara when he, along with his friend from medical school, decides to take a motorcycle trip from Argentina (his home country) to Venezuela. This trip becomes a big factor in his life and helps him find out what he wants to do with the rest his life. I also recently read his diary from the last 1½ year of his life, where he leads a guerilla group in the mountains of Bolivia. A very interesting read. He was captured 1967 and murdered in captivity by orders from the CIA.
I just bought this really good CD from Emiliana Torrini, and I really don't know how to begin to describe it. It is a pearl of a CD. I love to listen to it with my headphones and just disappear into the beautiful, soft tones. Her voice is that of an angel. The CD is called fisherman's Woman and is a must for every music loving person. I will be seeing her in concert next Saturday and am really looking forward to it :).
Talking about guerrillas, I might as well mention the last book I read: For whom the Bell tolls by Ernest Hemingway. It is a masterpiece. It tells us about the Civil war in Spain where The republicans are planning to bomb a bridge behind enemy (fasist) lines that might change the war to their advantage. Probably one of the best book I have read in my lifetime.This weekend I am going to Gothenbourg, Sweden for a bi-annual choir festival, and I'll tell you all about it soon. :)
