It happened this weekend and it was by chance. I was having breakfast at home, listening to music and it happened suddenly... Specifically, I remember that I was peeling and starting to eat a mango (manga) and listening to a selection of Sambas by Moacyr Luz, Paulinho da Viola, Batatinha...
Then, as the first chords of the song “Nó na madeira” by João Nogueira began to play , as if by magic, I experienced an emotion unknown to me until now.
For a few moments, surprised by that clear and fantastic euphoric sensation, I had the sensation as if, moved by a strange natural spring, all my senses and perceptions were, for once, in agreement. A kind of "Alignment of the Senses".
It was as if by chance, he had found some combination hidden in the Cosmos.
Quite a surprise, for which I still have no rational explanation.
He had virtually pulled Excalibur (King Arthur's sword) out of the stone...!
Now, when I start having breakfast, lunch, dinner, I am absurdly attentive to the different combinations of food and drinks, while listening to João Gilberto, James Taylor, Tom Jobim, Cartola, etc..., to see if suddenly, I find another pair perfect.
Does it only happen once in a lifetime...?
Although (logically) personal taste is an important and/or fundamental part of the elements to use, my masterful and magical formula that I wanted to share with you is:
► Ripe, peeled mango, (eating it with your hands) and listening to “Nó na Madeira” by João Nogueira …, Uhmmm… Unforgettable… │ Do you want to try…?
Important: If any Desafinado has or finds one or another perfect pair " perfect duets ", please write the experience in comments │ Thank you...!
