[Music]

[Music]

thank you very much to all the technician of

sound just told me let’s go to the mess and

I already knew that I was in my house

so the beginning of a concert is a

unique moment

a privilege for a musician

precisely because nothing exists all

is still to be done

there instrument there is public and there

silence and from there we are

ourselves we have to

create for them is incentive the person

that we have in this photo and one of the

two hundred musicians who make up the

symphonic orchestra of kinshasa in congo

most women all must be said

the beginning of a concert is an act of

heroism and self-improvement

I believe that the capacity of the human being

for creativity is unlimited is

immense

so today I’m going to tell or I’m going to talk

or music and imagination and

also of the immense power of being one

same as these musician and in addition to

that’s because they asked me and because

I am at home I will tell you something about my

I’m going to do it in seven elements

musicals that are what make up

any score brought a

instrument to be able to do some

show those seven and their elements

that make up any project does not stop

make way for 7 simple and human story

no master lesson stable those

elements begin with the first one that

is prior to any score

any musical beginning and that is the

power of satisfaction the power of the

emotion and passion in these seven

elements when we are going to gather we are going

to conjugate the hong kong the tail with a

series of personal stories

look I’m going to say something I went

music a sandwich

Sausage and this may seem

I could with

give him a grandiloquent story or

heroic but not the story much more

simple

here was an an extension classroom

that will disappear

they were looking for public customers the

music teacher who took her little

all the schools my mother proposed to me

go to a conservatory and start with the

music career in exchange for a

sausage sandwich today seen in

perspective that the day changed my life

and the truth that I think something

wonderful because really when

you connect point back I said yes

I know when you realize the

importance of those moments when

we started to collaborate in the

creation of the symphony orchestra of

congo the first one that was done in

Africa

everyone thought we were

crazy and that project would never come out

forward but from the first moment

we always combine the party and

the music there is nothing that one from

then the meaning of a meal in

Africa in the Congo and in Spain

be radically different but there is no

nothing that one more in africa in europe and

in america that a dinner together and that what

that we did we had dinner and

make music and at the time you dine

with people so brave and so

convinced of its purpose as are the

of the symphony orchestra of kinshasa

you know inside you that that project

is going to get ahead so the first

element that is prior to any

score any project is

exciting so does the joy

and the energy go hand in hand

the second element has to do with

he

the beginning the start of a

score getting a sound is an act

from challenge to silence

we like this instrument that

we have here the instruments vibrate and

they are like emotion is a note produces

an airplane a vibration dam

vibration goes off

then immediately have to follow

was producing different sounds for

ride a body

obviously when this happens what

first that goes through the head

let’s be successful let’s fail and

here comes another one of the big doubts

of the human being that is the success and the

very relative success

had to be better defined than failure

but there is failure rather to

some teacher once told me no

rather, there are errors and

mistakes are also not because of the

errors are learned and therefore go towards

the successes with which all things

are we in the state of karnataka

in india near bangalore

We develop a business project to

media between the textile industry and

music with several NGOs and I remember that

once playing with a child to cricket

with an Indian child

I predicted him would release the

bravado is ready to lose

and he told me in perfect English

Yes I am prepared to lose it

he was looking at me he told me you are

ready to win and that’s the truth

that left me a little worried because

really to win you have to be

willing to lose

I would say to lose everything and to

lose it all you only need only

with only one condition of being alive

then from that moment it is

when you develop a concept of

integral project and going forward

with the third element that for me is

fundamental to build the structure to the sea

the body of the project and is associated

with sincerity with the flow and

also with the smooth development that goes

happening throughout life

look, I think music speaks of

the four most important aspects that

has the human being who is he the animal

the rational the emotional and the spiritual

and it also teaches us that everything flows

that everything change we are in continuous

flow and that change should not scare us

If not the opposite

obviously I’m not the one who was

when I ate the sandwich sausage and

I had 8

year and goes by the hand of my mother to

conservatory i am another

but that flow to reform a project

vital that takes you towards the end of the

way towards the end of the score and

on that road is when you see yourself

is developing

evidently that produces certain

vertigo but in reality that vertigo

it also means that we have to

reinvent ourselves constantly to change

I think this is very nice because

in a society like the one we live in

the there is a technological revolution

so brutal where everything changes where the

constant learning and where the

intelligence of people is not measured

by the size of his brain

if it ever was but by the

adaptability

this adaptation is based on four

criteria under my point of view that are

one accepts the diversity of the world to

immense and there are a lot of people very

different in all places

second in accepting the ability

creative in third develop the

ability to think differently and the

fourth the dynamism understood as the

ability to change and adapt to

moment as darwin would say this is pure

Darwinism adapt to the environment and this

remember a simple story

and pretty that happened to me when I was

at the Embassy of Spain in Moscow in

the building where we did not locate had

a woman who is running beyond

77 years I had been an engineer

nuclear had worked in xoco in a

of nuclear power plants

the day that communism falls

she gets up from the bed she puts the

television and her and her husband died of

a heart attack directly that day but not

just that and already the week because it was a

person associated with various projects of

nuclear energy and also a week

considered subversive and then the

expels from his job and finds

directly on the street

this person do not believe that it was done

my friend because I worked in the

commercial office of the embassy because

it was higher because Spain was not

much more impressed muddy in

that time and she was talking five

languages a person tremendously for

so I took advantage of it to

speak in French and English that was what

only that the only language that

they could communicate

and she told me her story and one day

I asked him I told him hey but

really you here are happy and told me

you know that after all these years

I adapted and today here in this dressing room

to the heat of everything around me

I am a person who has found many

online and I tell you one thing I say a lot

better than the nuclear power plant thing that I

I think so

the fourth element in music in

any particular that make up is

associated with the conflict

look when a score develops

almost like in life or as the project

there is a time when music

about repetition and this has to

work out where

this reminds me of another story that

I wanted to tell especially here that

it happened to me right at the end of the journey

in the embassy someone approached me

he offered to come home to go home

has directed a department of commerce

outside in a technology center

I obviously accepted because there was a

much more prepared than me

I had a nice project and also I

allowed me to return to my house but knows that

happened to the two sisters everything went wrong

this person for a series of

disagreements with the administration

He resigned and suddenly they offered me

direct a technology center and that

the truth that was quite funny

there why they did not know what

It was a technological center

I have come to do things and

during the weekend or I confess that

I was even afraid not about many things

return to russia but a year ago

sabbatical find some alternative but

then I said I will not accept because there

something in me that says I have to go

down that road and in the end we live the

danger

I think it was almost three years

we made a center that from nothing

there was only one building with almost

always administrative projects

we are filled with people we are filled with

heat we assemble a team even what

we fill the mark let’s say and when

was at the maximum moment the amount in

the moment of apogee

I said it and I left it for many reasons

today there are many of my companions here

of that time but above all it knows

today I want to confess something I left

because he was convinced that it was not

what I wanted to continue doing for the

rest of my life and that decision is not

easy because when I took it a lot

people who say hey you are red has

missed a big opportunity lives in

you in your land an easy life but

however the years that followed

They were exciting

we mount because it is in africa we give

ong company in london we collaborate with

a lot of very well-known company

cosentino to porcelanosa we accept and we

We were wrong but above all we were daring

and daring and that had a certain

emotion during these years

the truth I think again to

back was one of the best decisions

because it allowed grows and as well has

said before the partner and more

they grew the hundred flying that the

bird in hand

it was a beautiful moment actually

we came back to imagine and that connects with

others of the story I wanted to tell

or kessel for me the fifth element of

any project that is the

imagination

the imagination is power or and in the

imagination

I’m going to tell the story of creation

from the word ballet but it’s worth world khan

cited before

is a project that created a person who

I wanted to extend classical ballet to

all those homes where there was no

I could get there before and take the music

then this person started on his own

same and young people from 18

years it is very difficult to get into a

dance school who has explained

this morning that practically goes into

a conservatory is impossible so

it was marked as a challenge and for many

hours for many days always

focused on doing what really

I had wanted to do when

got

decided to take it to other countries and

now something the ballet is in 15

different

in which in 15 countries has established with

with a network through different

collaborators on the internet works

very nice way a bird enters your house

and I remember that he taught me a role

that he had put on top of the bed and

Chávez told me for many years

I looked over there, it will go further and

I saw that since the paper said

impossible is only in the dictionary

of fools is that the fifth element

but there are about a sixth element that have

mentioned almost all

speakers until the speakers we have

said here that is called constancy

there is no project or business

neither human and musical that does not have to do

with the ability to follow

developing it for a while and

is the constancy associated with another

of those of the passages of of my

life that I have most marked the truth

karma the high dharma or the way the

destination as you want to call it put

in front of me what they call me

always called super trained child

that some call disabled

specifically autistic people with syndrome

of asperger

there is nothing more enriching than

work with special children

that of course but in particular already with

loa it seems that they are inside the last

highly functional enrichment

personal

this segment is of an unmistakable value

and I wanted to tell the story of dani

dani was the first one I met and

where I entered some occupations

that take more time now my life

dani was a 17 year old boy who his

father I present myself with some problems

tremendous physicists had allergies of

all type asthma and that literally

I was dying I could not find

motivation and the father intuited we’re not going

to one thing we’re going to teach music

so the coincidences of life

He made it appear

teach him piano and the child from the

The first moment focused on the

music and had the ability to pull

everything bad that was in his body and

motivate yourself

and changed in fact not only change

insurance

in fact it abounded more not only sure

but today

then he took with him like four

years an excellent pianist who can

touch you can see a video on

youtube you can see it playing from

with me even with people like manna with

international artists is a is a

great piano and it was because from

that moment that child was constant

he played for hours and hours and during

day and until it developed and until

that took out all that evil that he was carrying

inside

it is very exciting to work with it the

the seventh element that in a

musical score is the end

the music as life have two

elements in how they start and end in

the silence

however the just in the last note

of the score does not mean that the

music has finished there is still a moment

of expressiveness or uniqueness before the

public applauds and went to a forever

the memory is left et cetera and until

that last vibration goes off all the

world in your mind has that sound in the

old temple in north india in

jaipur there is a very nice description

that says something like that in the translation of

Sanskrit like do not let the noise of

the sides confuse you and it’s just

that you have to dare to do yourself

and do not let all the noise we have

around us, it makes an impression

that’s why the most important thing was always

the advice that once gave me a

tremendous music teacher achievement

reached earlier he told me that

anything he does or does not say with

Cuban accent but I’m going to do it with

mine in anything that makes it

human

and I would add add flame and set aside

external noise follows your heart and

follow your intuition especially at the time

to find companions on this trip

how beautiful is life and what’s more

important to give always because it is the

unique and wonderful

time to receive and change many

[Applause]
