A singer for Amnesty International

Hi!!!

The last weeks of the course are beginning this means a lot of exams and general stress in the class, resumed.. horrible!! jaja
Today we have done a "Selectivitat" exam of English. I think I have done it well. I specially liked the topic of the reading, Amnesty International. In my opinion all the texts we read (English, Spanish and Catalan) should talk about this interesting topics.
When I saw the title I thought immediately about a rapper (sometimes this happens when you like rap XD) because some of his songs were used by Amnesty International to transmit their messages with songs which talk about the same thing and some were from this singer. His artist name is El Chojin. They aren't many rappers like him. He never uses insultes in his songs, he pretend to educate and to make think the listeners about what he says. He talks about different social problems in our society like racism, violence against women, that people should practise save sex... Normally he talks about this topics with a concret story and at the end of the song he makes a conclusion. He's very original, his songs are great and, in addition, he talks about the problems in our society and other interesting topics. In my opinion singers should transmit a message of reflexion to the audience, but nowadays they aren't many singers which do this and that's a shame. For that I like those singers so much because they aren't like the others. If you want to know more about El Chojin and his life go to this website:

I leave you a song of El chojin, it's called "El final del cuento de Hadas" and it talks about violence against womens, he wants to fight against this and also against racism and other problems. This song was used by Amnesty International as a message against this kind of violence in concret. I think that the videoclip is very well done, because there is no violence. It's very simple but well thought.
Enjoy with his incredible song.
