Summary

It is very important for me to find the origin and the relationship that music has with our own body, our own rhythm, and with the territory from which it comes (Taking into account the sounds of the territory, the worldview, and the raw materials with which the instruments are built), making music inevitably become a self-discovery. Furthermore, I consider that making music in a group leads us (consciously or unconsciously) to look directly into each other's eyes. It makes us recognize that we are all important, that we have similar quests, and that we can sometimes be the ones sharing knowledge and other times the ones receiving it. This creates closeness and empathy.

I love telling and listening to stories. I think I would like to be a great storyteller.

In the stories told by cultures, there is always encoded a great wisdom, from myths and legends to the sayings specific to regions, there are encrypted elements that lead us to learn about life and how to build a broader vision of human feelings. Moreover, it gives me pleasure to see the creative capacity we have in creating worlds with words.
