birth
during the first years of my life, the first sounds and songs that accompanied me came from my parents and my family: lullabies, songs to entertain me... Había una vez un barquito - Canciones infantiles- Cantatoo

ROSA LEÓN "El reino del revés"
my mother liked to play me a CD with children's songs by Rosa Leon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBLKW_O8fts&ab_channel=Clarkito -
In the car
besides the music I listened to in class, I remember the trips to my parents' village, and the great variety of songs we listened to in the car: dire straits, amaral, la oreja de van gogh... Dire Straits - tunnel of love:

In primary school
My musical experience in primary school was based on songs of Extremadura folklore, songs to learn languages such as English or songs to practice with the flute.
My English teacher played this in class and we had to learn the parts of the body and copy their movements https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZanHgPprl-0&ab_channel=SuperSimpleSongs-KidsSongs -
Luis Pastor - Flor de Jara
this song reminds me of my family spending the month of August in Hoyos, my parents' village in the Sierra de Gata. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB5gb-e_6Mk&ab_channel=mikikua -
Childhood
During this age, I was able to listen many types of music: my brothers favorite music while he did his homework, the songs from movies I watched, my mum played music while she cooked, my father turning on the radio while driving.. In this year my cousin Álvaro showed me this song on his computer, it was a girl with an umbrella, I didn't know what she was saying but I loved her voice and since then I love Rihanna's songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvBfHwUxHIk&ab_channel=RihannaVEVO -
At home
one of the songs that comes to mind when I think of a Saturday morning is "La taberna del buda" by Café Quijano. I also think of "Labios divididos" by Maná. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_mJ1NgqiSk&ab_channel=WarnerMusicSpain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KlN9ujUw0s&ab_channel=WarnerMusicM%C3%A9xico -
Acetre- El Paso del Zajorí
My parents taught me from a very young age about this band called Acetre and their songs always end up on my playlist, they connect me with my family roots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbVSB8Yt9nM&ab_channel=CanBro -
Adolescence
In this period I spent a lot of time listening music with my friends, I started to discover new groups, new artist. I preferred English pop music, rock or reggeton than folk or Spanish pop music Katy Perry - Dark Horse (Official) ft. Juicy J

Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa and Zara Larsson
"Shape of you" was the first song I listened of Ed Sheeran, my best friend Nuria showed it to me and it reminds me of that day. I remember that this song was played everywhere, on the radios, on tv, advertisements...I ended up a bit bored of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGwWNGJdvx8&ab_channel=EdSheeran that year I had two favourite songs one was "New Rules" by Dua Lipa and " Symphony" by Clean Bandit and Zara Larsson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2qgadSvNyU&ab_channel=DuaLipa -
University
When I started the University I listened to more reggaeton than before, because i used to go out more and going to parties: j balvin, bad bunny, maluma, Karol G, Rosalía... There were many songs that accompanied me.
I also discovered an artist that i liked a lot Billie Eilish. One of my favorites and most famous songs of her is Bad Guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyDfgMOUjCI&ab_channel=BillieEilishVEVO -
Present
Nowadays, I am listening to female singers more than male singers, but there is no special reason, in fact I have realised this while doing this activity. I like Doja Cat, Cardi b, Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande and Nathy Peluso.
This is the last song I heard today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0m4SWTGRzs&ab_channel=DojaCat
