"Dear Fellow Concert Goers,



This time I was given the great opportunity to write about a memorable concert I had the privilege to attend to. This time I wanted this writing session to be special. I wanted to tell you all about a time I was the lead singer of a (short-lived) band.



 About twelve years ago, when I was a freshman at university, a great meeting for “mechones” (first year students) was going to take place. Everybody was looking forward to attend to this great musical event, and especially, every single band was looking forward to give its best shot. Everything had to be perfect.



One of those bands was composed by English Pedagogy Students, and they chose “me” to give a special surprise. They thought I was a funny person which had something to give to the audience, so, out of nowhere, they told me to sing a funny song to cheer the audience up. 



What I sang to a drunken (pissed off, really) group of university students was memorable, at least for me. I combined two songs, “La Chona” from “Los Tucanes de Tijuana” and “Lithium” from Nirvana.



The laugh was massive, and the fun, even more memorable. It was a nice touch of foolishness”.


Thanks a lot for reading,

Kind Regards!
