 There are voices that are not only heard but felt. There are artists who do not just perform, but transform. And there are paths that, without having yet reached their summit, are already leaving an indelible mark. Today we are joined by a woman who sings from her roots and her heart, who turns every stage into a temple of emotions. From her first secret notes with her grandmother to sharing the stage with legends like Alejandro Sanz or Camela, Shakira Martínez doesn’t just sing: she tells us who she is in every song.
Welcome, Shakira. Thank you for letting us glimpse into your story…

 "Sir, the cage has turned into a bird. What shall I do with the fear?" — Alejandra Pizarnik

 With that quote as its threshold, Pedazos de Tiempo opens—a novel that is not merely read, but lived. A work that does not seek to please or satisfy, but to awaken, challenge, and shatter the mirrors in which we gaze each day. Literature, when authentic, does not hide: it exposes itself. And that is precisely what this book does from its first chapter: it strips bare the night, the mind, the soul.

 “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched — they must be felt with the heart.” — Helen Keller (1880–1968), American writer and lecturer.

 Without a doubt, one of the exceptional virtues we humans possess is the ability to express what we feel, and we do it regardless of age, time, or circumstances. You must be subtle when venting what you carry inside because just as you can bring joy, you can also cause pain. The most important thing of all is to be honest and sincere with yourself—you must never live by appearances.

You are the measure of my time,
the beat of my heart,
the illusion and hope,
life, light, faith,
voice and silence
of my soul.

 The Man
 A mystery within another mystery, thus defined the author of Psycho, and his biographers have only been able to approach the epidermis of the person.

But the artist remains, with his work always renewed, with a handful of unforgettable images and characters… to what extent can we unveil a mystery that belongs only to Hitchcock? The 45th anniversary of his death is a good opportunity to remember one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

 New archaeological findings challenge the patriarchal narrative of prehistory and raise an uncomfortable question: When did we start erasing women from history?

 For generations, history books have portrayed the Neolithic as a world of strong men and passive women. But the unearthed bones tell a very different story. In sites from Çatalhöyük to the Iberian Peninsula, osteological analyses reveal that many tombs with lavish grave goods—once automatically attributed to men—actually belong to women. Their femurs show signs of intense physical activity, their hips bear the marks of multiple childbirths… and their arms display the same spear marks as the men’s.
