"Girls do not play with shopping" ... "The artists are starving" ... "Study a serious career" ... "Marry" ... "Ten children" ... "Take care of your grandchildren" ...
In Latin society in general, there are many paradigms. These parameters begin with some of these phrases, then without realizing it become rules, not only must hear from small, must learn to good and / or bad.
Then, as at age 40, when you manage to meet all these "requirements", the company will allow you to live your life as you want.
Why the wait to have grandchildren and be near death to live ?!
Doctor (a), Architect (a), Engineer (a), Lawyer (a) are important professions, contribute to the common good and personal life, but it is also true that; everyone likes music, have at least one artist who would be willing to travel and / or pay for them, no art that is hung on the walls of his house; They are valuable paintings. There are also those who go to movies, watch movies or enjoy the theater.
All the arts are creations that reflect us as a society and put us in front of our reality, that sometimes we ignore and only art can make you pay attention.
Some people are happy doing what they like, but that is not part of the professions "social acceptance", and there are also artists who do not survive, live. Those who make music for commercials or movies, for example.
They are also respected directors of symphony orchestras as the Venezuelan Gustavo Duhamel and Orchestra No phonic Simon Bolivar, who were respected not only before the world but also opened another space for the music made in Venezuela. Likewise , the legacy of Master Simon Diaz also has international acceptance and forms part of the great soundtracks of our country.
We all want to be important and the fact of being human should be, and we are, just to give meaning to our lives is what allows feel alive. Precisely, that speaks the song "Travel Pal Sol" of the Venezuelan group mirror.
It is the "arrechera" (way of saying in Venezuela when something makes us angry or upset a lot) you feel when the days pass, and you know you're wasting your time on something you do not like, and is not important enough to die for that.
On the video of "Travel Pal Sol", it goes without saying that complements the lyrics of the song, it gives us an extreme story, inviting us a lively and fun to shape; look in the mirror, see what we are now and ask ourselves if we love what we are today. It is an important question, because we are just that, it is what we will be and we will do the rest of our lives.
The video also shows us that although we are living our existence has no expiration date, just for walking in the wrong way, the way we let others decide (friends or relatives), without taking into account our strengths and interests above all else.
That "what people say" be a reason to do something worthwhile by and for ourselves, and who can bring to life, and not become an impediment to be happy.
Small should not we ask what you will be when you grow up? The right question is who are you now? and Do you feel proud to be what you see?
A song and video "Made In Venezuela" by and for Venezuelans.
