Evocación y ser

Abstract

"When 1 feel anguished, 1 sing ... If 1 want to whisper, 1 sing ... If 1 love, my eroticism makes me sing ..." This and much more, is singing for the author. Through her writing we are carried away by her story; her voice taking the principal role. The text narrates that it was her mother that t w h t her how to sing; that she began winning her father's affection -who died when she was still a young girl- with her singing, thus pleasing her Oedipus. She also tells us that singing has given her, for better or for worse, a place in the world that surrounds her and inside her own world. For her, "singing is being alive", beyond life itself... maybe because the songs speak about human passions, passions that she has made her own and which she lives so intensely that she can never forget them.
