PATAGONIA SOUTH AMERICA'S SOUTH COUNTRY
Maybe we can start talking about this journey years ago. It's from the years when my father met ney and I met saz. But we're going to start this journey from Chile in South America from a much farther distance, and we're going to try to make it happen by bike. In this part, we will work together the part from Osorno – one of the three most bountiful to Punta Arenasa – located on the south of Chile. Ferry, which we had to use between ruta interlagos, caratera Austra and Tortel-Puerto Nathales, which we went through during the journey, allowed us to acquire new people and new experiences. At the same time, when we decided to skip the pandemic process on the way, we didn't really threaten that the process would be so difficult. Now we're going to watch the "cura(saz)" and "ney" we've been on with us in a town close to the nerve gates where we've been waiting for the emergency to arrive at Punta Arenasta Ushuai.
The noble purpose of our journey is to establish a connection between people through a communication vehicle that is even more than the language, and to introduce the instruments that form this connection to people who are different from the different methods we can. Sometimes these instruments are a musical instrument, sometimes they are a painting, and sometimes they are the most primitive behaviors. We thought that the "saz" and "ney" that existed in our hands would help us on this journey. These musical instruments are not very foreign to the kit, but they are not known in the local bolges. Thanks to these musical instruments, which people have never met or heard, we can say that it is the noble purpose of our journey that they waste part of the Anatolian instrument in their own balls. These aesthetics will be ours in an even more universal way than the language of anatolian cultural value.
Gonzalo; He's been escorting us to different places along the way. We travelled together between Caleta Gonzalo-Caillten and Puerto Rio Tranqilo-Tortel. We climbed many hills together, and his communication with the reed and what gave us more courage in the name of the journey. Alejandro told us that in Puerto Rio Tranqilo, he was waiting at home on the way to this small town where we entered his home in an unbelievable rain.
Ricardo and I spent a full month together, and his face became a very clear picture of me really understanding the land of Chile Patagonia. The house we stayed in didn't have water, electricity or a bathroom, but very close to the house, there was a creek in the river, an immaculate air. Mate and I had a chance to spend a lot of time together, and I learned a lot about mate. For a month, when we worked in the woods, I felt in my hands what a destroyed power foresting was in the patagoni. The glass trees of the Patagonia abundant were brought here by the Spanish and are now in an industrial state. It's causing serious damage to the soil, but it's a job that people have been doing for many years. No one's happy, but it's still going on.
The main reason for our choice to ride our bikes is to communicate with as many people and nature as possible. The slower and calmer we go, the more people feel the areas where they live. He can form stronger cultural connections with his people, his nature. For example, stealing a piece of music from Anatolia into the Patagonia rivers, trying to explain anatolian culture with an instrument that the locals have never met, opens new doors in people's feelings. We present the cultural seeds we have from Anatolia to people and nature in this kit under the heading of "saz" and "ney".
