Eric van Santen, Holland

The tercio: a meaningful term which shares a streak of bullfighting and a streak of cante. Creation is air, or resides in the air, and bullfighting is silence. From tercio to tercio, cante fashions a performance with the cape, which the torero also constructs in the air. It holds its breath, stands apart, charges. It is another enigmatic bull which eyes us, and which also demands the price of absolute aloneness. But here freedom breaks the chain and detachment and abandonment return once again. And the air, a prison of anguish. And the air, that terrible air where tercios float, is the only fatherland of free men.
Carmen, Brazil

Tercio is in reality a particle of the cante, comprising phrases or lines of different rhythms and lengths which fit the language. It is short but never too short to express feelings. Together they make up the copla (verse).
Diana Murillo, Colombia
