A song you like at the moment

 Hi Blog heads,

Today I'm going to write about a song I enjoy listening to at the moment. The song I'm going to choose is a Chinese pop song from 2021. It's called Dangerous Party and it's performed by Wang Yi Tai & Choco. 

I think the first time we heard the song was sometime early 2022 in Decathlon in Guangzhou. We were buying some spot's goods and this song came on over the loud speaker system. As we were paying for our goods my wife decided to ask the shop assistant if he knew who sang the song. We tried to describe the song but our Chinese was poor and he didn't speak any English. Finally, my wife managed to communicate her idea and although the assistant didn't know the song, he gave us a print out of all the songs the shop had played in the previous hour. Later in the day I searched through them all on YouTube and we managed to find it.

I think I like it because it reminds me of our time in China. Its a total pop song but it has soul (which allows me to categories it as good pop). I like the mix, the singers have good voices and the song has a good groove that's easy to dance to. I guess this song has a fairly retro feel. We listen to once or twice a week and any time we feel like dancing around together:)



I have a wide taste in music but recently I haven't come across anything new that has really moved me. I have really enjoyed Kendrick Lamar's new work but as he is attempting to push and expand the boundaries Hip-Hop his songs are not always easy listening. However, as an extra bonus, I'll leave this amazing track from De La Soul ft. Estelle

A short introduction

 Hi

So, my name is Simon and I'm your English teacher this semester. I'm from Britain, I was born in Wales and grew up in England. Apart from Chile, I've also lived in Spain & China.

My main hobby is making music, which is something I've done since I was about 14-years old (yeah, I've been doing this hobby for about a 100 years 😂). Nowadays, I make mostly instrumental music but every now & then I sing. 

This summer I stayed in Santiago working on a new album. I only arrived back from spending 3 years in China in September so there was no need to go on holiday.

I live with my wife (Beatriz) and 2 cats (Goku & Aiko). We are vegan and try to lead relatively healthy lives. My favourite sport is football (my second hobby!!) but, in my free time, I also enjoy walking in natural environments, reading, cooking, and travelling.

That's all for now.

See you soon.
