1] 22 anos, mãe Alemana e pai Italiano;
sou Italiano e agora moro na Italia,
mas sou atraido pela magia q vem do universo todo.
Tenho um Amor q mora no Brasil. Sei falar engleis, mas neste caso acho um idioma esquisito jà q podermos aproveitar de se entender atravès esta linguagem q adoro particularmente.
2] Estou sempre na pesquisa de um pouco de tudo.
Gosto muito da musica de outros tempos para entender a historia daquela q està nascendo hoje.
Os artistas locais para entender melhor a minha cultura, e musica internacional para aprender outros idiomas e culturas diferentes da minha.
De Rock quando levo o corpo ao treinamento.
E da arte q certos tipos de musica sabem trasmeter quando tenho a cabeça em diferentes lugares.
Naum considero nada “coisa ruim” mas simplesmente sò o “resultado de poucas ideias”.
3] Siddharta.
4] Deu modo de achar alguns em casa (acho leituras de minha mãe – meu pae perfere Wilbur Smith e Ken Follet.).
Mas estarão seguramente na lista das minhas proximas leituras :).
p.s. 2] Rsr, no final nem deixei uma canção como ideia, e em quanto q estavo pensando nisso veiram em minha cabeça os Eurythmics, com um susecco deles q acho lindo: “The Miracle of Love”.

2)Tir Na Nog, Nordman, Pink Floyd
3)Brida
4)Alchemist, Witch of Portobello
1. 43/ Born in Romanian from Greek father an Ukrainian mother – I guess this would qualify me as Balkanic – I live in Canada, my love country (if something like this exists) is Mexico – and my soul is universal –
2. I love world music – the first name that came in mind is Lila Downs, however ask me later and I will give you another name – depends on my very changeable mood. Oh, also Manu Chao.
3. Italo Calvino- The baron in the trees
I want to be a free soul like the baron, too. Although there is always a price to pay.
4. Most of them – i started with the Alchenist and the following week, my father gave me The Fifth Mountain in Romanian. I was hooked. Of course the Witch of Portobello (my Romanian soullink), Eleven Minutes, By the river Piedra I sat down and wept, Veronika decides to die, The Devil and Ms. Prym – what did I miss? – I still need to read Brida and The Winner stands alone. Oh, and also The Zahir. Next on my list – is nice to look forward for something, too…
