Ever\u00adyo\u00adne smi\u00adles to me and tells me \u201cHal\u00adlo\u201d and, from time to time, they throw me a ques\u00adti\u00adon.

Here you do not skimp in lan\u00adguages. From time to time you hear \u201cRadio Corax\u201d and the con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adti\u00adon keeps&nbsp;going.<\/p>\n<p>I have been asked about the inse\u00adcu\u00adri\u00adty in Mexi\u00adco and the incom\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsi\u00adble Argen\u00adti\u00adna. And it is quite dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to descri\u00adbe the\u00adse two count\u00adries in such terms. So I try to explain in a lou\u00adsy Eng\u00adlish what is true and what is not. Yes, Mexi\u00adco has inse\u00adcu\u00adri\u00adty and yes, Argen\u00adti\u00adna is chao\u00adtic; but that does not defi\u00adne them. I try to explain that the news have deeper lat\u00adti\u00adces. That the peo\u00adp\u00adle, the cus\u00adtoms and the histo\u00adry are mar\u00adve\u00adlous and infi\u00adni\u00adte. And sud\u00adden\u00adly I see a spark of inte\u00adrest in their eyes and they ask me to speak Spa\u00adnish and they talk to me in Ger\u00adman and we try to under\u00adstand each other in a lou\u00adsy English.<\/p>\n<p>And, bey\u00adond that, we under\u00adstand each other. Becau\u00adse the\u00adre is no place so obscu\u00adre, becau\u00adse our roots and this sto\u00adry sha\u00adring are just equal to tho\u00adse peo\u00adp\u00adle sea\u00adted and shared around the&nbsp;fire.<\/p>\n<p>Of cour\u00adse, no place is just clear and lumi\u00adnous. For exam\u00adp\u00adle, they des\u00adpair for the arri\u00adval of the sun. They tell me they have been living for three months in a semi-pen\u00adum\u00adbra; so, when the\u00adre is the sligh\u00adtest ray of sun they run to the bal\u00adco\u00adnies even when the cold is any bet\u00adter. The\u00adse makes me smi\u00adle, becau\u00adse whe\u00adre I come from the\u00adre is ple\u00adnty of sun and we che\u00adrish the clou\u00addy days; and when I say this all of them turn their heads to see me with big sur\u00adpri\u00adsed&nbsp;eyes.<\/p>\n<p>So then I come back to the ques\u00adti\u00adon, just befo\u00adre having a drink from my \u201cPil\u00adsen\u201d: how do I tell my sto\u00adry with sounds? During the mor\u00adning, working on this anti\u00adci\u00adpa\u00adted \u201cOpe\u00adning\u201d, I found the voice of Do\u00f1a Feli\u00adpa tal\u00adking about death and laug\u00adhing loud\u00adly. And then I choo\u00adse a frag\u00adment of her voice and mix it with a bunch of sounds, and it is like taking a pie\u00adce of her soul, a pie\u00adce of sun, a pie\u00adce of history.<\/p>\n<p>And when I am about to put the \u201cPil\u00adsen\u201d over the table the con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adti\u00adon has chan\u00adged and we are tal\u00adking about music, about plants, about food; and so the fear spread by the news is diluted and beco\u00admes con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adti\u00adon, not sen\u00adsa\u00adtio\u00adna\u00adlism. And then I can talk about Sant\u00adia\u00adgo Mal\u00addo\u00adna\u00addo and the ear\u00adth\u00adqua\u00adke in Mexi\u00adco, about Aten\u00adco and the com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty radi\u00ados in Boli\u00advia, about the Aima\u00adras and about many other things I don\u2019t know any\u00adthing about but I know a litt\u00adle bit of (like Feli\u00adpe, the cha\u00adrac\u00adter from Mafal\u00adda, used to&nbsp;say).<\/p>\n<p>I am get\u00adting used to this kalei\u00addo\u00adscope of sounds, lan\u00adguages and ways of thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Tomor\u00adrow is \u201cWorld Radio Day\u201d (huge quo\u00adta\u00adti\u00adon marks, becau\u00adse I\u2019ve never belie\u00adved in such com\u00adme\u00admo\u00adra\u00adti\u00adons; the ease with which the <span class=\"caps\">UN<\/span> impo\u00adses \u201cespe\u00adcial days\u201d is not\u00adhing I care about, but that is a dif\u00adfe\u00adrent con\u00adver\u00adsa\u00adti\u00adon). So, tomor\u00adrow is going to be fil\u00adled with sounds.<\/p>\n<p>This time the sto\u00adry is total\u00adly dif\u00adfe\u00adrent but it is the same sto\u00adry of all of my works: The Time.

Com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty radi\u00ados are places whe\u00adre ever\u00ady\u00adthing is pos\u00adsi\u00adble, every expe\u00adri\u00adence is uni\u00adque and the\u00adre are no recipes.
