This musical project is woven together thanks to two words that represent the great legacy of Greek culture: “polis” (encounter) and “paideia” (culture). I believe that music, in addition to other purposes, has an interesting civic mission related to research, reflection, and the selection of repertoire.

In this narrative I am building, the term “Polis” (the encounter) emerges strongly. Far from the exclusionary meaning that is currently attempted to be attributed to the concept of a nation, the original meaning of the word refers to what is shared, to an infinite polyphonic conversation that protects us from any form of exclusion. For the encounter to happen, it is necessary to begin the journey in the past, a past that connects us to those roots full of spontaneity, expressiveness, purity, mystery, intensity, illusion… and magic.

The second word that emerges is “Paideia.” Starting with the idea that listening is always a form of hospitality because it contributes to harmonizing the diverse, to weaving together the unraveling, I wish to bring these Spanish sounds closer to other audiences. My musical polis has no borders; it is an infinite encounter and reencounter because, by sharing sounds, we cease to be strangers.
