I am very well. This picture is from Friday 5th of July in\u00a0F\u00f8rde and the gentleman is the outstanding painter\u00a0<strong>Oddvar Torsheim<\/strong>. I could tell you that we agreed on the colours to make this picture specifically for you, but the truth is that it was totally spontaneous. We met in the street dressed like this.<\/p>\n<p>Red and black is always a winning combination, and I believe that both Oddvar and I prefer to dedicate our effort to decisions that are not about coordinating our outfits. We have it decided by default for most occasions, saving mental energy.\u00a0At the same time, this creates a recognizable personal image. I&#8217;ve been thinking about such matters lately. For example, personal branding, especially for artists. I follow a marketing expert,\u00a0<strong>Neus D\u00edez<\/strong>, and she recently said in a video that an artist&#8217;s personal brand must be drawable.<\/p>\n<p>Last Saturday, we learned of the passing of\u00a0<strong>M\u00edsia<\/strong>. She was very drawable. I think she is a paradigmatic example of this issue. M\u00edsia created a distinctive image: sexier, more mysterious, darker, with a modern elegance, different from what was usual in fado. I&#8217;m not sure if she would have defined herself as a fado singer, given her diverse background, which manifested in her artistic career. The fact is, she has passed away.\u00a0The funeral will take place on August 6th in Lisbon at the Bas\u00edlica da Estrela.\u00a0I am sure that many art professionals will attend to pay tribute to her.\u00a0She wasn&#8217;t the best singer, but with the entirety of her proposition, she managed to expand the reach of her music and Portuguese popular music in general.\u00a0<strong>Florenci Mas<\/strong>\u00a0will surely discuss these\u00a0topics in his course, which we talked about in the previous edition. If you didn&#8217;t read the interview,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapamundimusica.com\/en\/newsletter\/june-24-talk-with-florenci-mas-usual-sections-and-insights-72\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here it is<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Toumani Diabate<\/strong>\u00a0has also passed away. I have thought about the people deeply connected with him, those behind the scenes, like\u00a0<strong>Saul Presa<\/strong>, his manager, or\u00a0<strong>Lucy Duran<\/strong>, who can be considered his discoverer. What a loss.<\/p>\n<p>In this edition, I don&#8217;t have an interview. The person I had scheduled had personal issues, so it wasn&#8217;t possible. This edition is a bit lighter, but I&#8217;m sure you haven&#8217;t read the nearly 100 interviews I&#8217;ve already published.
