this instrument that you finished
hear
it’s called the marimba de chonta also
known as the piano jungle
The day I met him interested me so much that
I decided to go and investigate the coasts of
peaceful south of colombia
to do this, decide until guapi cauca said
to good luck and there I was
waiting for a boat that is delayed more or
less between 10 and 12 hours to arrive
the ship was already floating towards me
destination and I got to rest at night
to a low bed of the boat and around
a lady with her daughter maybe about
eight or ten years old and he lay down in
the floor as he would have done
any of you I decided my bed
unable to sleep then I decided to go
towards the test of the ship and I did not
I regret because I found the
Most beautiful moon I’ve ever seen
white overflowing and also she
slipping on the waters of the
peaceful was a while and looking at her
when I felt something left
he looked at me and about 15 meters from
boat was going a bubble
accompanied with the waves and also to the
boat speed
and it goes up and goes up and goes
raising that bubble until it fills
of light from the moon and disappeared before my
eyes in the immensity of the Pacific
Colombian
reflecting on what had happened
and thinking that it was product of
tiredness I decided to go find any
boat space to lay me down a
while when down some stairs and me
I found the body lying on the floor
of the lady who a few hours before
I had given my bed
at that time I think maybe that
bubble was his soul his energy his
vibration saying goodbye for such an act
simple as having given my bed to
she and her daughter to rest
he gave her first aid and
Alberto is not answering he decided
call the captain of the ship to
sailors the nursing assistant and
they arrive quickly and the opinion
is the lady has passed away
behind me his daughter comes out the girl screaming
mom
it is done on top of the body it hits it
death kisses him he even assaults
herself the girl was in shock ever
I had seen so much pain in such a body
tiny the captain gave notice to the
guapi authorities when we got to
the few hours he was waiting for her
family but also a group of
female singers who learned the
I sing as a tradition of their culture and
When someone dies in the Pacific
someone older they sing for nine
days so that your soul can pass from
more harmonious way towards the message
according to your beliefs
but the singers to see that the girl
I was so affected what they did was
surround her and they started singing streams
that are children’s songs that are
the children sang in the Pacific from
that are babies had not spent a minute
when the girl rejoined she started
sing and he even drew a
little smile on his face and there I gave myself
account of the transforming power that has
the music that these women have in their
throat and changed my vision
completely as a musician when he returns
I decided to make the first festival in Bogotá
decanters of the country that was made
uninterrupted since 2011
until the year 2017
meeting with processes and voices so
powerful and miraculous as
laden eliminates has an episode of pain
deep more than 30 years ago created the
first afro kindergarten of our city
taira quiñones returned the lands to
a handful of peasants who from a
therapeutic exercise from singing them
he could return his lands because they
they could sing and tell their story
aurora ca blinds league in condition of
displacement to bogotá to one of the
more complex neighborhoods where they live and
all the evils of our society coexist
society today serves more than 30
children who through the songs are
healing and we know that they are healing
because when you see them you have been
returned his ability to dream
the if valencia displaced since childhood
yesmín a choco you imitate santander
Then he arrives in Bogota or a few years later
as a maid and one day she
I was singing in front of the mirror with a
brush in the hand that did the times
of microphone and its employer takes it by
back and throw it to the floor and as a
novel or a movie puts you a foot in
your throat says you are black and not
you were born to sing
you were born to clean
I want to tell you to sing for
yourselves
sing your family can you have your
children sing their friends never stop
to sing
and I want that also presence in today the
power healer of music and power
healing that has the singing

how to better understand this magical and
wonderful phenomenon of music
when the music touches us
some effects are linked
mechanics
chemical and live electric
in such diverse structures of our
body as the outer ear the ear
half the tympanic membrane the chain of
ossicles
the oval window cochlea the nerve
auditory the neural areas that
they process all the musical information in
all its aspects the rhythmic what
melodic the word sung the bark
frontal and deep in the brain in
the limbic system the amygdala
and almost automatically the brain
take that information interpret it and you
it gives an emotional meaning
because music is first and foremost a
language that communicates
as you just felt it
[Music]
we could today tackle multiple
multiple facets
of how music affects well-being
and human health we could talk today
of how it activates the skeletal muscle of
how it affects the motor function of how
we can perform regularize the march
in patients with
parkinson
or we could talk about how we rehabilitate
to patients with lesions of the
language functions in all their
dimensions from the sung word
because the function of the word sung
is lodged in a distant cranial area
different from the spoken word
we could talk about how in the
Alzheimer’s disease
the musical memory banks are the
last ones that are affected
but today we are going to deal with another issue that
concerns all human beings by
whether we have one of these or not
pathologies because to all
to young adults and the elderly
to whites and blacks to men and women and
good and bad we get the pain
in its most general classification we have
physical pain and emotional pain that
physical pain that we can locate and
quantify emotional pain does not
ask the girl and how much it hurts
to infinity
I’m going to share a session record
to tell them how and share them as
I approach emotional pain
you got a wonderful flashing child
and beautiful to my session after
absent three months had been
with me practically from the belly
because his sister was attending
to the session
and his exacerbated irregular behavior
violent
from crying to the laughter of the blow
to ask for an embrace and then to attack me
alert and when approaching the mother I
share that the nightmare is living
and the horror of sexual abuse
I’m going with the purpose
to compose a song
to give it to that child as a
life tool
to facilitate the transit
for that dark passage of life
A) Yes
the snail was born
[Music]
ah
ah
[Music]
and I am the caracol felix caracol
I go slowly through life live chicken
slow and without worry
always very calm because I know that everything
the snail has a solution
very good
after the rain the sun comes out declared
after the cold the heat always comes
live quiet like the snail and I who
always spend all day cutting
he learned well that depending on lack of
you will have a gentleman grew up and you cry tomorrow
to reign
[Music]
learn to wait
like the snail I hope better day
[Music]
how
because the color always passes
alone
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
two days after he decided in the
session four times the song this child
mom calls me to share
Juan Pablo is amazing what happened
in that session
being forced to fulfill the agreement
legal has to take the child to the
Sunday visit with the possible aggressor
leaves the child and ten minutes later the
child the flame
come for me please do not leave me here not
I want to be here come for me please
and that mother always strong in front of her children
picks them up and collapses in tears
and the child says more to me
do not cry do not worry remember
the snail song
and everything has a solution
[Music]
behind this story
deeply emotional
there lies the explanation of what is
the mechanics through which the
music deeply affects the
human emotions
because the session is built and
designed in such a way that we propitiate
the perfect conditions ideal for
that in the child arises in a
spontaneous
the insight
the magic point of deep understanding
the click on
through a traditional therapy
may take years and that time
arrives
but music has the ability to
travel directly to the deepest
of the brain
and activate the emotional functions of
the amygdala connect immediately
with the most modern areas of the cortex
prefrontal and prefrontal and
happen at the magic moment and that
magical moment is what allows the
child take for himself a tool and the
apply in your life
minimizing
the trauma in the painful episode
and allowing
come out sooner and process it sooner
this in emotional pain
and the physical pain
what is the mechanics that lies there
so that the music diminishes
up to 70% painful feeling
it was my sister the last day of her
death he told me
morphine does not take away the pain just
Stop caring that it hurts
sing
yes
[Music]
[Music]
[Laughs]
[Music]
[Laughs]
[Music]
and that happiness has the form of
accordion
the irrefutable fact that the meaning
of human evolution is the ear
because there we smell like the bear or
we see how the eagle or at night as
the cat
the ear that allowed human evolution
it was what allowed human evolution
that video of the audience singing
it does not show
a bone flute found between
40,000 and 80 billion years old is
tuned exactly in those melodies that
the audience sang
the sound input and the sound stimulus
travels through the nervous system
privileging clear listening travels
reaches the brain stem
and inside in the training
reticular
There are 90 nodes of terminations
nervous 1 especially they are called
locus coeruleus
which is responsible for the reactions
physiological among others is the central
of body alarms that alert about
everything that happens and all that
peripheral information gets there
the sound stimulus arrives and from there
connects with reason with memory with
the emotion and we flood the whole system
with the sound of music
and his emotional translation and his
emotional meaning and in this way and
we live the advance of painful input
and passing
we avoid the physiological reaction
the pain is common to all the pain of
soul or the pain of marginalization or the
pain of discrimination pain of
the war or the pain of poverty
the pain of grief that of the injury
or the pain of the disease
music medicine for pain and now
I ask them
who
who does not have a thorn in his life
who does not have a thorn on top
[Music]
and my body thorn
tell me
[Music]
the mention
so much spinal life
the spine
with other rest with happy
with so much life in your life
yes
with bases to be champion
Ask read and soil dreamers
permits
ask the dreaming entity if I
I learned
[Music]
of said dreamer
so I’m going to live dreaming always
thinking
How is it
for you
spiritual
[Music]
everybody
Y
and you
to agree on drinks
that’s why he lives dreaming a boy lives
Always dreaming
[Music]
[Applause]
