NEW MUSIC VIDEO "EL OTRO YO" (by José Asunción, September 2009)
Chilean-born and California-bred, Pilar Díaz is a talented singer-songwriter whose life highlights her many interests. Moving frequently between Santiago and LA as a child, she was taught guitar by her parents, both of whom were acclaimed folkloric musicians, and her voice was soon heard on various cartoons in her native and newfound countries. Accurately reflecting her adopted hometown of Los Angeles, she spent her teenage years going to punk shows in Hollywood, and her bedroom walls had as many photos of Victor Jara and Violeta Parra as they did REM and Bjork.
She graduated from CalArts, where she majored in classical voice (specifically opera), was a member of a Bulgarian women's choir and Balkan music group, participated in a gamelan ensemble that toured Bali, and led a popular campus band with Ryan Francesconi, who currently serves as Joanna Newsom's musical director. During and after college, Díaz worked with Danny Elfman on numerous soundtracks, and her vocals appear in films like Spiderman and Sleepy Hollow. With her rock band Los Abandoned, a bilingual new wave outfit whose debut album was lauded everywhere from the LA Times to Perez Hilton, she performed on Conan O'Brien and KCRW, gigged with Sonic Youth and Neil Young, and played before a crowd of 40,000 in Mexico City.

Hola, disculpa que te moleste, pero es muy urgente!!
Tengo un amigo que llego de muy lejos y necesita un lugar donde quedarse. Siendo así, le sugerí tu casa. Te pido que lo recibas y lo ames. Su nombre es Jesús Cristo. Ahora di en voz baja: Puedes entrar, Señor, yo te necesito, limpia mi corazón con tu sangre y bendice a mi familia.
Envía a tus contactos y recibirás un milagro mañana.
Si
crees en Dios envía este mensaje a 20 personas. Si lo rechazan,
recuerden que Jesús dijo: "Si me niegas entre los hombres, te negare
ante mi Padre". Dentro de 4 minutos te darán una buena noticia!
