once I gave away almost everything I had and
I went on a trip
I remember wanting to rid the
entity objects that those had me
instead of having them to them so I
I was with two pontoons a couple of
T-shirts and Salin did not know where to
he did not have much money he ended up crossing
Africa
along more than 9,500 kilometers and
When I returned to Mendoza people
he asked, he still asks me and what do you
you brought or worse yet and that
you brought object footage 2 is blanket
that the African brothers use when
the afternoon gets cool and this is
llama by Inca is a throwing weapon of
the savannah
let’s hope we do not have to use the afternoon
let’s make the footage come true
some treasures are here in front of me and
in front of you what happens is that
these are special treasures are treasures
invisible or rather are treasures that
they educated us to not only see
come when you share
I have come to share the treasures that I
they gave my African friends with you
and the first has to do with time
there is another possible idea of time as
we thought the Westerners time of
health where forward value
American and European Chinese
walking fast
there we grabbed and in the end
Africa the third world do not know what it is
a completely wrong idea
Africans are our
contemporaries has its own mode of
solve the present and learn from them
there can not be a lot with our
doubts but they say that explain me in the
half of my trip
I was for rwanda uganda grab a
map of africa put your finger
the middle to the center of the continent were going to
see is a tiny country right in the
center of the continent is a place made
of mountains of an electric green color
and among those mountains there is a cloud of
fog in that landscape the batwa live
the batwa are what we
we would call a little pygmy like that
cheerful and joyful singers and so
singers that every time a
village pressure pibes that started
dance next to me
around arrabal oreja I pulled the
hair hung up, imagine the
batua small children are the
small be super chic and cough
I still have the physical memory of
go entering these politicians when the
child soldier removed to each one that
another almost walking like giant bill
with people hanging and it was there that I met
joseph and josephine I want you to
imagine 14 years meter twenty meters 30
had as one of his goals will be the
first high school graduate
from your region
she was a very responsible girl without
however one day Friday 12 end and it tells me
look but our fluid relationship in 45
degrees months
Facundo I want to stay at my school and
ask for two days for me because I want
miss but because times calls that
they are white to win good pelot the
he did not paint me anymore, he called me
a lot of attention because it was a girl
super responsible I said no josephine
until you tell me why they do not
I think help says ‘ well let’s go
walk and we start walking and when
your neighbor’s house were already a little
far
we bought bought little one was like in
this circle
We took a stick and I bent down to
listen to the example you are going to tell because
wants to miss two days to school and I
says josephine yes clear I want to miss
two days to school because I want
write a poem a friend I want
write a poem a friend and there the one
it felt small noise that I told myself
how long ago it did not take me two days
to write a poem a friend nor
even 21 and I do not tell you one and a half
If as Borges said time is the
substance of which we are made
this girl in the middle of the mountain
African knew perfectly well that his
time that is to say she was made of
poetry and that’s why for her it was
perfectly logical to ask for two days to
write a poem to a friend
finally called the school they gave him
they made them josephine wrote his poem
it was a local hit although I could not
corroboration but it told me not
they know that I kept thinking about
our culture and in all the times that
I had heard this that there
I liked doing this and I could not not
reached the time I would like to have
time for that
when we run out of time when
we just have time look at it is so
stupid that will continue farc in an area
desert 50 degrees of heat in summer and
I went to a hospital
I wanted to give a hand to see if a
little bit of encouragement
there was a fly and he was introducing me
different patients and I recorded the
smile of a woman who had left
very little life that is very little life and
I smile I had time that woman I
he smiled and greeted me
It cost me a lot to understand that smile
Then I understood that humanity
it shone even through this
ill with tuberculosis to which
he had better hours and smiled because
I did not want to ruin the day I’m going to
have to face the next morning
this woman like us like everyone
was made of that smile was part of
his identity and he was going to follow
sharing until the last moment of
his life that woman knew how millions of
Africans that time only something
which is used for what is used
time the way we slide by
time defines who we are
then this is the first case which
I wanted to share with you the idea of
that there is another possible time
Just imagine when I was firing off
a little bit
things as they were my head was
to write my notebooks but you’re
things for example can not be
photographing I drew and wrote already
sometimes I miss the words I did not know
how to express what I was living and
so it goes on like this you have that I had five
Havana hours within five hours are going to
enter more in a renault 12
imagine jaime received him not if you
they have that there is no running water no
there are wins and then forget are the
masai a warrior tribe very noble people
and when I arrived later if they were
renewed the cross country received me
Lilian and Lion was very clear said
deep and that after living with
we are all good but one time
keep in mind some things first if
you have to leave the hut at night not
you move away whales
there are wild animals there are lions for
example to elephants that with just
they get dangerous and then stressed
a second thing that was fundamental
he said and if for some reason
you have to stay away from this
the animals in this area of the savannah
they do not know the electric light has
very afraid of the luminosity of the
cell phones
imagine my face had no dojo like
offer because it’s not a problem
electric because just like us
we are obsessed with the body of
the Africans and I’m sure I do
everyone knows how to read whatsapp
if we are obsessed and they too
they are obsessed with us then
They want to know the texture of our
skin the color
I did not want to imagine if I needed
going to the bathroom I did not want to take the risk of
that the village somebody I will begin to sing no
I was sure they were going to do it
but I did not want to take that risk because
I had already passed in other areas not
I wanted nobody to see my buttocks
fluorescent white suede flowers
Then one night I could not take it anymore and I said
well I said good so I leave the
hut and I walked away as long as nobody
see health and get out of the cell phone and what
he’s been writing like a shield
magical not if it is saved from the animals and
started to walk I walk away
it was a very dark moonless night and
when I’m in the process
let’s call it like this this time yes no
if you complete the scene it was like this
saying my cell phone make noise tutu
low battery 10 seconds later it
turned off total darkness and silence or better
said almost silent because all hoya
from the horizon some animal noises
I said my god was semi death or
this indignity of the pants under
nothing in the air and devoured by animals
imagine my old woman not recognize the
corpse of this son how does this end
year and the first thing you have to do in
the despair was to look like I said
just to heaven the stars seemed
an emerald embroidery swivel
but so on an emerald embroidery
rotating like that it was going through the whole sky
blue green the rest black
there I knew what it means to be human in
that cosmic solitude in that loneliness
cosmic I was a bit less
that that was a shaky steak with
pants with the knee and suffers
also that what we call
night has nothing to do with the night
in the savannah our night has noise
electric car phone with battery
the night in the savannah
He has eyes that look at you like floating in
Nothing has whispers that you do not know about
what animal are but I suspect that is
speaking of voice is saying that saying night
for me and for the Masai it was two things
completely different
they were two completely different things
luckily yesterday in the village it happened
mind that I was not where the
white we do not have a book yes and it started to
they started calling me
I assure you that I keep in my
memory the timbre of those screams like the
most beautiful melody that can be heard
because following those screams because
can return to the village to the tumbles by
course I had taken julepe flower
but already brought with me
the second of that what I wanted
share with you
and part of this premise under the label
from the word night we put the
our night and that of the savanna
but they are two things completely
different as I told you just for
know all the other nights there
on the planet you have to be willing to
listen to those peoples that come
landscapes different experiences
different with other words be
willing to listen then the second
that what I want to share with you
could be summarized thus the possibilities
of human experience goes much more
beyond your language again the
possibilities of human experience
goes far beyond your language is
say your own language does not reach
define everything you have to learn to
listen to those who are different first
treasure then there is another possible time
2nd 2nd treasure there is a lot more life
beyond your language to know it has
that learn to listen to those who are
different to keep treasure and the
we just talked about words and the
language to me many times they ask me
how he communicated with such towns
different
they know that I speak one more game but
most of the time the communication
went through plans that had nothing that
see with the language spoken by others
planes discover for example that when
you put yourself in front of a person who
comes from another context of another culture and
really want to communicate but not
a single word of their language will
communicate that he was in sudam one afternoon
drinking mate on the banks of the nile and
I remember one guy started to swim
work and the water started to scream not
I know in what language everything was understood
earns me there is no danger of
crocodiles for the afterlife so no
do you problem five images
minutes of saber or lion I will not put
now then this lion or all good not
understand telepathy was known as
but we did understand that he swore and
then stadium left billet arreando
also but he is serious told me that he
calls more his state with the mate
He told me that his name is Chubut and he told me
he sat on a stone in front of me and I
he said well they do not want to talk then
let’s sing a song like that I repeat
much this comedy the mate in half
and singing and singing
That day I knew I was going to be a singer
professional but he sang as if he did not
there was another place where you could be
happier both and while listening to it
I thought about my culture at all times
that we sing in quotes
we work in quotation marks we listen
between quotes we love between meals this
guy in front of that he offered me a song
there were no objects that distracted us
we were both and a song and with
that reached and that is another thing that
taught the African brothers is the
third that I want to share with you
they taught me not to live in quotation marks
do not live in quotes to occupy
really the space where I am
that if I’m here I’m here the songs
Do not sing the chats that you do not have
the loves that I did not dare to live it
they lose forever
so I also brought you treasures that you did not
they have a price
maybe that’s why it costs us so much
see them the value of claiming your time
the fascination of looking for new words
the pleasure of really occupying your space
that wealth is here between us and
Now that I have shared it, I hope that
you can also see them
during my trip through Africa many times
when he came at the time of farewells
It was hard not because you always know that
he will not see that person again
probable
they are places sometimes very well communicated
but many times to friends who
I had done and I grabbed the arm
they said now it comes back and it contained your tribe
share this with your tribe as long as
that we exist accountant who we are
what he was trying to do this afternoon and
other people treasures but there are many
plus
now it’s your turn to go find us
It’s your turn to go and make your own
path
thank you very much the
