Helloo!! for today I'm going to talk about a free topic. For this reason I would take this opportunity to talk about my favorite anthropology. The name was Maria Ester Grebe.
Maria Ester Grebe Vicuña was an import chilean anthropology and ethno-musicology. She was born in Arica in 1928 and died in 2012. She began studying musicology in the Chile's University in 1965. Two years more later, in 1967, she specialized in etnomusicology en the California's University. Afterwards she joined in the social faculty of Chile's University and finally she got a doctorate in musicology in the Queen's University en Belfast, in Irlanda.
Among its main projects, those the book "Culturas indígenas de Chile - Un estudio preliminar" ("Native culture in Chile - One preliminary Study") (1998), "Cosmovisión mapuche" ("Mapuche's world view") (1972) and "Relationships between musical practice and cultural context: the kultrún and its symbolism" (1978), published in the journal "The World of Music" of the Unesco. Her principals ethnographys investigations was in the north of Chile, specifically in the Tarapaca's region, in this site, she registered a big number of traditional melodies, songs and verses belongings to aymara's culture. This work can find en the albun: "Aymara (1976-1977) - Region de Tarapacá" and "Aymara (1976-1983) - Region Arica y Parinacota.
I admire and respect so mucho this person because she was the first chilean ethnomusicologist that inspire me to specialize in this area of anthropology discipline. She is my favorite anthropology, she is a really god example of great anthropology woman and she is like I would like to become in the future.
