My last question is about the concept of home.

I get asked this a lot when I go home to Australia and I find it a difficult question to answer when people from home ask me, where's home for you? And it's complicated when you left home and you found home in many places.

So can you talk about this?

Yes, it's an interesting aspect because I feel home anywhere where I am.

And I was curious about this because it's a question I also ask myself because what is it that makes me feel like this? And then when I think about it, I think it's music.

I think music makes me feel at home so in a way I could say music is home for me when I go along the lines I moved a lot since I left Argentina at 17 and and I lived in Italy in Lisbon briefly then in the US in Boston San Francisco then Berlin now here in Italy and I never felt as an immigrant.

I never felt anything close to that.

And...

I cannot reply why.

I cannot answer why.

But I think music has a lot to do with that.

It's a curious...

I'm curious about it.

Yeah.

Actually, to be honest, I...

I felt the same when I was going back home to Rosario.

I cannot tell you I felt at home.

I felt the same as I felt when I was in Boston or when I was in Berlin or when I was in Italy.

I don't know, maybe there is an angle also from my view also of things in a broader scale of how we consider borders, nationalities, how we think of humans in a broad aspect and so on.

I have very strong opinions about it and I feel them.

I feel these opinions and I have...

Just to make a resume of everything, universality for me is the ground.

And if I see borders and so on, it's just the fact of organizing ourselves, but nothing else.

Absolutely nothing else.

And cultures, it's wonderful cultures.
