One of my favorite artist is the icelandic singer Björk. She started her career when she was a little child. Her first studio album was recorded in 1977, "Björk". In the 80's, Björk joined a band, The Sugarcubes who had great success. They became the first one icelandic band who get world fame. Then, Björk moved to London where she started her first soloist work with Massive Attack's musical producer. The album name was Debut make one's debut for her career as an integral artist, activist for the environment, concern of the traditions from her native land, curious inside medial arts world and the new brands of expression, a lot of stuff that I like so much. Another albums: Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, Medulla, Volta and Biophilia. Her music is described like a mixture of genres, taking into account electronic sounds, passing for trip hop, jazz, ethereal wave, drum & bass, alternative rock and alternative dance. I like the way she has created innovative and transgressor lines of expression.



My favorite song's Björk is Hyperballad from the second album, Post. Hyperballad's lyrics are so beautiful, it contains a lot of emotions, and its video, made by Michael Gondry (like other videos), one of my favorite artists.






Björk has been in Chile three times, 1997, 2007 and 2012. I went the two last years when she came. In 2007, she came to Estadio San Carlos de Apoquindo, presenting Voltaic Tour. In 2012, she came under Lollapalooza Chile festival to show us her last one album, Biophilia. Her concerts are very intense, with a lot of incitements and variety of emotions.
