Person that I admire...

Hello!! Today, the topic of my blog is about of someone that I admire in my career area. This person is Lev Vygotsky.

Lev Vygotsky was born in Vítebsk in a jewish family, he was the second among eight children. In his adolescence Lev was fanatic of the theatre, but he studied medicine; afterwards, he taught psychology and logic in the Pedagogic Institute. Subsequently, Lev Vygotsky dedicated to write essays and create psychology laboratories. Among them stand out a laboratory to study childrens of the kinder garden. Lev Vygotsky generated a new thinking in Development Psychology, with basis in authors as such Sigmund Freud, Jean Piaget, Wolfgang Köhler, Daniel Stern and Arnold Gesell. This thinking allowed work with cases of children illiterates and problematics (in those days be lefty considered abnormal).

 I like Vygotsky because his thinking allowed see to the different childrens of a distinct form. With his theory of the "Near Development Area" allowed that each one worked in his own rate, removing the competition in the education.

My favourite artist

I never have a permanent favourite artist or band, all my life I change of favourite artist, but in this moment of my life my favourite artist is Gepe, a chilean artist.


Gepe, whose real name is Daniel Riveros, have 32 years old, he born in 1981. Since his childhood, Daniel liked of playing battery in some little bands, for example, in the children`s band Mazapán. After, he studied in the Miguel Leon Prado College, afterwards of his graduation, Daniel formed his first musical band, in 1999. In 2002, be part of the musical group of Javiera Mena, but after he continue as soloist as yet. He created four disc how soloist, the years: 2005 (Gepinto), 2007 (Hungría), 2010 (Audiovisión) and 2012 (GP); and in 2013 created a album with the duet Alex & Daniel. 

The music style of Gepe is varied, inclusive the rock, the acoustic pop, the pop with electronic basis and influenced by the Andean music and the "New Chilean Song". 

I like Gepe because is an artist that wanted bring the music of our roots andeans and Latin Américans of a different and original form, mixing this music with rhythms more familiars for the actual generation, for example the pop and the rock; this has brought that some groups and persons in this country or in nearby countries criticizes the music of Gepe, above all his videos, but this I like more of Gepe, some of his videoclips don't have logical in them, which converted him in a particular and original artist. 

This is Bomba Chaya, one of my favourites songs of Gepe:
