There have always been huge musicians and poets in Uruguay, but Uruguay is a well-kept secret.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We've performed in South America and in Japan.
I have a very strong identity that connects me to Argentina and to Latin America, but at the same time, I have a deep connection to the music from the United States and music from Europe, too.
Ireland, Italy and Brazil are the most musical places for me. They're extremely musical cultures and anything you pitch they basically catch.
The way we do music in Brazil is very different because we are so moved by music; we grow up with that.
If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it.
The decisions and problems of Uruguay will be resolved by Uruguayans.
There are only three million people in Uruguay, but there is such hunger for glory: you'll do anything to make it; you have that extra desire to run, to suffer. I can't explain our success, but I think that's a reason.
With 'Timbiriche', I toured Brazil and a lot of Latin America.
Any North American state is more important than Uruguay, in dimensions, in its economic force.
I think the only positive thing that came from Uruguay's dictatorship was the spread of Montevideo natives around the world, and I continued writing about them from my various places of exile.
