My cultural Radar

I read the cultural snapshot about Will Poulter, I know it from the Maze Runner movies.

They talked about an album he likes and how the artist is very talented with lyrics and music. Also about a book he recently finished reading about race and the enveloping nature of masculinity. He talked about one of his favorite places to eat because of the quality and variety of food he finds there. He talks about his enjoyment of the ITV adaptation of Len Deighton's spy novel and how good they are. Also about a comedian he started seeing during the lockdown. And about one black-owned eyewear brand that designs its pieces based on its racial mix.

One of the things I found most interesting is the relationship he has with artist Kojey Radical and his music, it´s as if he adores every piece he does.

Now I am going to talk about my cultural radar:

Show: Los 80

I've seen this show several times throughout my life, but each time it affects me differently, and it's always like it's the first time I've seen it. I really like the issues they talk about and how they show them in the show.

Book: The Chronicles of Narnia.

I remember reading one of the first books in the saga in high school and loving the story. Maybe because of the reference between the lion and a god, but also because of the idea of another world.

Food: Korean Food

For the past four years, I have been interested in Korean food culture and I like to visit places where I eat different dishes, recently I wanted to study how food is prepared.                             

Artist: Leo Dan

Ever since I was little my parents listened to Leo Dan in the car, so I started to learn his songs and enjoy them until my whole family associated the artist with me. His music transports me to relaxing places.

Anime: Kotaro lives alone 

This anime is one of those that I thought was going to tell a funny story but it impressed me with the sad reality of the protagonist and how he tried to live happily without anyone noticing this.

Documentary: Infinite memory

Last weekend I went to see this documentary and I was very touched by the closeness to my family's history, I really like the way they present Góngora's life without morbidity in the story.
