La música es el primer idioma | Kevin Johansen | TEDxMontevideo


I studied some music when

I was 12 years old

and

he gave me he gave me my first guitar

and come here in Montevideo Uruguay

at 12-13 years old born in alaska in

fairbanks

this son of a good argentina

aires and a gringo from denver colorado me

they became bipolar automatically

I practically reach Buenos Aires with

11 12 years coming from san francisco

california and ike the need for

adapted and became loved me

in a rare object not

in the yankee and then the guys in

sixth grade where I fell in the years

dark days of the dictatorship in buenos aires

Some who said it happens now to the

distance to the Yankee go home and others that

they said that such Disneyland is

terrific is not the idealization and

also noel the stick

then this one me for some reason

unconscious

I do not know why at recesses I started

to sing a song that had

learned from cabaret memory a

old movie by liza minnelli that

they sang mixed peanuts programming or

controlling a hammock cap plain little

bread of knowledge

nexolog.com many many many many many

good that you ask sang sector

commercial kantamani that I love peanuts

and fourth graders came 7th of

third parties

everyone then there was like that

need not be loved to be

accepted are not the weirdo but

wants to be accepted my old as was

teacher my mother plays a job here

in Montevideo also in the years

difficult to a government canoe

military and of the seventies and of course one

is the student the student of the same

school and he is the teacher’s son

taught to fall the British a school

very exclusive teaching and there

also the weirdo and in the neighborhood of

malvín where we live

the weird but that did not mean that

I was born in Alaska

so what I said I said to be

accepted instead of saying that national to

tell me sankyo to be told

Disneyland tell him that I’m good

airs and was immediately accepted in

the neighborhood of madryn like the porteño

my old lady told me that in alaska

I danced to the rhythm of the washing machine

imagine dancing to the rhythm of

Baroque imagines that it sounds like a

train avant you and I was that was like

my connection to music

and of course thinking about the connection with the

music that we all have

because we are all music

another of the titles I had here

each one of us is music and one

that I liked it was the musicians

we are social misfits and we are

most because we are all from some

we are musicians because of course

we are born with a heartbeat of the

mother in the belly and our own

musician friend the other day he told me

that babies are born with a with 130 bits

per minute that’s like techno music

and electronic music 130 tweets by

minute is a lot not then when

we listen to electronic music it seems

that we are born again we are not like

as well as fascinated

so the circularity or just

circular music for me is very

very interesting serious in the musicians

we say no ss roque very square or that

very square cumbia or reggaeton is

square

This and prejudice do not remember already

the afternoon fuck also this memory

when we were in the second year of

high school after montevideo

I return to Buenos Aires at the age of 14 and

all the kids listened to the wall of

pink floyd and is out

I do not know what we do, how good it is

this is how good it is and suddenly

a band appeared and they sang

given that the uach vucetich who are

these unemployed who sing of dudek adam

or the prejudices that we have when

we are teenagers not that we put on

shirt of a style of a genre

so about the genre I like

to say that I am a degenerate this one

because I like music all and one

he is an eternal apprentice or an eternal student

what I’m going to ask you now for

demonstrate the circularity of music

is to play a kind of karaoke

with the guitar own and other subjects

I want you to make a snap of

fingers as well as the pace not of step to

step as well as back

then imagine that it’s like a clock

that goes from 0 to 3 in four strokes with

23 to 31 2 3 to 6 1 2 3 to 9 and 12 3 to

12

good for me in four measures that

those are measures 4 is a measure and 16

would be four on a clock in a

circle I began to think that the

great melodies of humanity and for

least of popular music that one

know not then I for example had

taken some to share with

you are not going to have the

fingers or does not eliminate it

[Music]

p

all right

is for example is a very

profoundly classical not after

example a great reggaetonero of the

time

we go fast for so so so

[Music]

I do not tolerate this grosso for example a

most current shoot

[Music]

They do not know him, thanks Mario, it’s not because

a question of brain capacity

ours for nothing or for a question

of the moment of time because they speak

a lot of that not now are very times

fast people do not have time

for nothing there were not big

synthesizers of music from

always the viruses were great and twitter

they made two notes I already knew it was the

dancers count longer

I was told by a musician friend, because

the dancers count start with 56

78 the tangueros do the basic step

so tac tac tac and one two three ago

four five six seven and eight eight

they make the basic step of tango

we musicians do not dance say the

tangueros that the musicians also do not

they dance tango that there is one thing

divided and between interpreting the music

and dance but dance is the way

more primal to interpret music from

there my respect for the dancers

and my admiration because of course the body

in our first instrument and what

we listen to the rhythm and

melody because your mom makes you

and above is your heartbeat

creative so that I threw myself is the

music

that’s why we are all music not all

we have music inside of us and the

music comes before us and

it will surely continue after

us because it’s time and space to

my 25 years old I went to new york and and bibby

10 years there, no, and when I came back, I had

that feeling of being from the south or being of the

north for my personal story and

also because of the issue they spoke

also of immigrant refugees from

change your culture for another culture by

need either for political exile

for a social exile for an exile

economic staff etcetera and I composed

south or not south that speaks of zero not being

South a bit for you

[Music]

because here you can not go back because

I ‘m not leaving either because here I am

should

I go back because they are already crazy

not only not your baby because here I do not

achieves

I come back because hope I’m going

because here it takes advantage

I come back because she throws me

[Music]

donoso

[Music]

and it said and there are also many

these melodies in four bars in the

clock

I do not know why it happens what happens to me

Maybe it’s old age I’d like to stay

here in my house but that I do not know which

I do not know why it happens that happens to me

maybe it’s my childhood I’d like to stay

here at my house but I do not know the same

talk about that and the intellectual cumbiera

that was also the same rhythm that

He spoke a little, he said, build my mind

mother but it was actually when I came back

to buenos aires after 10 years and

discover how a genre was absorbed

by the public before it denigrated

west there is a famous Brazilian samba

that speaks of Madame in narrow that

no sanz see is not a hand issue

madame and still enjoys tussam going to madama to

mom does not like samba does not not

he liked it like he was the reggaeton of

today not the cumbia not and that the big ones

genres nothing is lost everything is deformed

paraphrasing not the philosopher friends

because everything takes another form and the

genres somehow do that the

cumbiera intellectual spoke of a

middle class girl

maybe middle class mafalda but that

I had culture dancing with a boy

from the underworld and said yes

there is some intellectual cumbiera of the

room if there is money there are no evans and so

you can the physique du gol blue with

capacity

I met her in a tight tight bailanta

we started but it was me who got

colorado and it was different and different

Careful care and where it is in use

intelligent had in his look when

I told him if he wanted to dance with me

put to speak in fact of freud and the ca

videos in grace is very funny

he told me when turning intellectual food

yes he told me by turning click

[Music]

that intellectual food studied a

little-known career

something to do with lyrics and philosophy and

it was beautiful and sorceress its contoured

this one had his life

if I told him we go to the rich cinema

I said let’s see one of Kusturica

if you say we go to see the flowers I

he was talking about virginia wolf and his loves

it made me very bad cumbiera

intellectual I can not

that intellectual cover and I do not want

think so much

well intellectual I’m going to pray to

tussam so you can be released with

candle and asia

michael jackson talking about the dance

said if one thinks one is not

dancing because you do not have to think because

the data that one handles the count is 5

6 7 8 and until you get bored you have to be

cha as have handled within the system

that the organ is then a little

that’s what I wanted to share with

you like this one in our

unconscious also the music more

deep and how we all connect with the

music therefore the musicians in the case

of those who compose songs or

composers of great works or of

small pieces does not matter

they have a kind of it said a

bubble not invisible that nobody sees my

old woman

surely he wanted me to be a musician

but at the same time I had panic when I

I was 15 years old lying on the couch

He is touching me and she screamed anda laburar

Bago and then years later I

I recognized I said I do not know now why

she wrote I know that you were

making up ideas you were doing things

as well

Then I would get a little changüí

so well that was sharing with

you some music I’m going with a

pair of own songs and others as

to show them how circular the

music is made a great song and

I always compared the melody and

the harmony with a car also going

By the route

the car is the melody the line

melodic but the route is harmony is

which accompanies Sting made a

song that we all know what is it

what he did and can get them out of the moment

the world and instead of going it went to me the

He did not mean either, we all want to be

sting also because the magician goes with the

harmony not for many reasons the viruses

they did a lot that we did not do

the example of the cure and good I have

a melody that the one of guacamole that is

a kind of texas month I tell you that

he does so

[Music]

and

if he did not think it was in the power of Cuba

drawer

meat with beans

meat with beans

today I live of santa susana elm of checks

yakisoba

the condo toba

do not pass the bump

what are you doing wearing it

there’s paper I do not know but I’m going through and you

you find dwarf butter goal

guacamole between we were going to eat those of

beto that made us guacamole

in meat with beans

big with football whose fried has said

the garlic is structurally bad from Kravetz

listen head with coffee with milk

[Music]

they saw bay 4 and that has 4 a bit what

I wanted to talk about the circular I fell

in the account that four are also the

four stations that four also

they are the four directions north south

East West

everything is very circular 360 degrees and the

music is like this is a circle and we are

since we are born into music

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]
