Presentation of the Chapman Stick instrument on the TV program “Imagen de Radio” hosted by Juan Carlos Badía.
This historical document that they sent me and that I present here is part of my life dedicated to believing that another way of making music was possible. And I discover with surprise that the one in the video still lives inside me with the same desire, music, and philosophy intact.
Over time, I understood that other people—like Badía in this case—saw in me the desire to believe.
Perhaps they would wonder if it was an invincible or eternal desire.
Today, I can say that it was.
Therefore, the good thing about looking at the past is discovering that those we were without knowing who we were have made us who we are today, knowing that we are still those.

The video also includes an unreleased version with Chango Farías Gómez improvising live the song “Los Ejes de mi Carreta” by Atahualpa Yupanqui, with an ending in a “loop” technique made with the Stick (a technique still new for the year 95). .
