The singer Miguel Bosé is gradually recovering normalcy. After surprising millions of his fans around the world due to his behavior and his controversial attitude during the global coronavirus pandemic, the interpreter of Morena MÃa has returned to the small screen with different projects.
A few days ago we saw him in the program Milá vs. Milá, where he was the first guest and where he confessed that he would never forgive the government and the media for the public lynching that they put him through for thinking differently about an issue like COVID.
After several controversies and spending a few calmer months, the artist is participating in the Cover Night program on Spanish Television, a television space where he plays the role of coach for all those who present themselves seeking to make the best versions of our country.
In the last program, one conversation stood out above the rest. A contestant confessed to the judges that he lives with synesthesia, a neurological condition that affects his perception of reality. At these words, Bosé was very empathetic and confessed that it is something that he also has: “I (also) am.”
Although the singer of Los chicos no lloran did not want to go into the subject or add more details about his personal experience during the program, the confession of Nacho Palau’s ex gave a lot to talk about on social networks.
Many followers of the format and fans of Bosé wondered how it was possible that it had not been known that the artist suffered from this condition after so many years of his career and if synesthesia had somehow helped him to have more artistic sensitivity.
As defined by the University of Granada, ‘synesthesia’ means the opposite of ‘anesthesia’ (not feeling any kind of sensation), so it could be defined as a phenomenon of union of sensations. This means that some people may have and experience mixed senses. For example, someone may associate a number with the color yellow, or see pink while listening to a song. You can also come to appreciate a taste when someone talks to you or associate a day of the week with a tactile sensation.
The problem when studying this neurological condition is that the interactions are very varied and each person experiences them in a personal and individualized way, so it would be impossible to list the synesthesias that exist. According to a study by Ed. Hubbard and Ramachandran, synesthesia is hereditary and if a person has one type of synesthetic category, he may have a second or third more. In addition, there are mild and strong synesthesia and it is a more common condition in artists or creative people in general. Finally, the researchers came to the conclusion that people who ‘suffer’ from it often have problems differentiating between left and right; dyscalculia or problems with arithmetic.
