Bicentenary!!

I think that the bicentenary has two senses.

On one hand, the bicentenary is an excuse to the politics for being legitimized for the citizens or “the people”.

The unit, the nation, O’higgins, Carrera … are the words that permitted to create the myth of the bicentenary.

But, on the other hand, the bicentenary represents two hundred years of history, people’s history.

I believe that the history is not exclusively the histories of the heroes, the politics and militarist.

In my mind the real history is the history of the Chilean people; workers, women, peasant, poor people, students, miners, fishermen, etc.

Because of it, my interest is to celebrated this two hundred years of history as I understand it, and not the other myth.

So, in these national holidays I would like to go to a lot of parties and barbecues. I will like to eat and drink very much during this four days.

In addition, I want to dance in very more parties. Preferentially I would like to dance the Cueca brava, cumbia, “tropikobailable” music, regueton, etc. I am sure that I will enjoy this celebration!
