Cristian Bodnărescu discuss with Kiki Sanchez
Cristian Bodnărescu: 1- I understand you militate for the brotherhood, friendship, understanding, love and equality of the classes. How can we implement all of these?
- Kiki Sanchez: We can implement respect and it will make a tremendous difference in our society. Respect has been absent in our Society in several areas; politics for instance. We need to understand that respect is of paramount importance than our religious or political views. My philosophy is that all humans are on the same level regardless their race, religious or political preferences that’s the reason why we must implement respect, it will help us to understand, accept and tolerate others that think different from us. Respect will bring peace to our environment.
Cristian Bodnărescu: 2- In a future to come, the poor people will have accession to the education better than in our days?
- Kiki Sanchez: Every day we watch the news we realize it focus on all the negative issues around the world; somehow it is good because we need to be aware of what is going on the planet. However, we do not see that many positive news. Nowadays thanks to social media the quality of information is more balance and the percentage of positive news is little by little increasing. My point is that Yes, poor people are already getting better education and information from previous generations because of technology (internet) thanks to it all humans have equal access to unlimited positive and negative information according with the individual purposes.
Cristian Bodnărescu: 3- We are at the apogee of the modern kind man, or a third world war is inevitable? If so, how can we prevent it?
- Kiki Sanchez: In recent days we have witnessed the meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong-un, to me it is positive progress towards peace. I believe that the mature way to avoid war or any conflicts is when we exercise dialog. This will move us far from World War III. I think our leaders already understood that World war IV will be with bow, arrows, spears, etc.
Cristian Bodnărescu: 4- How is seen God Luis Enrique – the man?
- Kiki Sanchez: God is the Architect of the Universe, source, creator and light. God is my direction and provider. God is in every single moment of my life, just the fact that I can breathe, walk, make music, see and do many other things, represents his mercy and love for me.
Cristian Bodnărescu: 5- What do you feel when you are on the stage, knowing that all the country will watch the show later, on tv or internet?
- Kiki Sanchez: Opera is the most wonderful art form and one of its purposes is about action and reaction. Action from performance and reaction from the audience. My responsibility before a show/performance is to share positive energy through music. Positive energy is the most beautiful thing humans can share. Positive energy from the performance and positive reaction from the audience. So at that particular moment before a show all I think is about sharing my best.
Cristian Bodnărescu:7- When the music’s over… where we will be?
- Kiki Sanchez: When the music’s over we will be somewhere somehow uncommunicated. We may be technologically communicated however very disconnected due to the absence of the Universal Language called music.
To all the readers from Bug of Colorado, I send you warn greetings from Miami, Florida. I know I will see you all in Colorado in the near future. Blessings and wonderful things for all of you.
