His childhood was full of music. At home, his siblings sang Paraguayan folk songs with their parents in Spanish and in Guaran\u00ed, the original national language. David\u2019s father played the guitar and taught his children early on. The first songs he remembers are two Guaran\u00ed folk songs: \u201ePachol\u00ed\u201c and \u201eChe Burrito Lambar\u00e9\u201c.<\/p>\n

At the age of nine, he played his first gigs with his own band at school and later at folk festivals. David recorded his first record when he was 12.<\/p>\n

A year later, he heard music by Johann Sebastian Bach for the first time. His neighbor, Diego Sanchez Haase, played it for him. The music touched him so much that he never let go of it from then on. It opened up new worlds for him. Diego Sanchez Haase recognized the boy\u2019s talent and sent him to music school in Asunci\u00f3n, where he studied music. Today, David Portillo is one of Paraguay\u2019s most successful singer-songwriters and a member of the \u201eSociedad Bach del Paraguay\u201c, which Diego Sanchez Haase founded in 2008 and in which mainly young musicians sing and play.<\/p>\n

\u201eThe music here connects me with my roots, with the traditions, the landscape and the people. It is something very big and special that nothing can replace. But Bach\u2019s music connects me to another dimension and that\u2019s what makes it so universal, because it\u2019s about connecting people to something higher. The biggest difference for me is that the satisfaction I feel when I have finished singing Bach comes from deep within me. I don\u2019t know exactly how to explain the great emotions that this music triggers in me. In no other area of life have I ever had such a comprehensive experience. I have found complete fulfilment in Bach\u2019s music.\u201c<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Thabang Modise, <\/b>35, lives in Johannesburg with his wife and one-year-old daughter and grew up in the Schweizer-Reneke township in the humblest of circumstances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bach helped the IT technician to change his perspective. Before he came into contact with Bach and his music, Thabang was convinced that there was an insurmountable barrier between white and black people due to apartheid, slavery and the colonial era. Today he sees things differently: just as Bach\u2019s voices interact and form a whole, so too can people come together \u2013 despite their differences and pasts.<\/p>\n

\u201eIf we as Bach singers recognized that, despite all our differences, we have a certain relationship with each other, that we depend on each other in the smallest things, then we would treat each other better. Even if you don\u2019t know the other person, there is something that connects you to them. If we find what we have in common, it will make the world a better place.\u201c<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201eBach was an important part of my life from an early age. When I heard him for the first time, something about his music immediately attracted me: his artistry, his amazing ability to write beautiful yet simple melodies. And then he composes in such a complicated way, so mathematical and clever.\u201c<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

\u201eSometimes there are moments when I ask myself: why am I doing this to myself? Playing even the simplest melody beautifully is sometimes really difficult. By playing and practicing Bach\u2019s music over and over again, you develop empathy, emotional intelligence, maturity, resilience and concentration. That\u2019s what I love about Bach.\u201c<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Annalisa Hartmann<\/b>, 34, lives with her two young sons in Bern. For three years, she shared her flat with an Eritrean refugee family. Although she has enough on her plate as a mother, author and publishing employee, she can\u2019t imagine life without Bach. She sang in the St Matthew Passion for the first time at the age of five and has been closely connected to the composer since her childhood.<\/p>\n

\u201eWhat I\u2019m looking for lies in the music of Bach. I can\u2019t quite put my finger on what it is. That is precisely the mystery.\u201c<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

She loves travelling, feels at home in the world and is connected to many cultures. Bach has always been an emotional support for her. To spare her neighbors, she is often out and about with her cello and practices in public spaces, where she sang Bach with her sister as a child. D\u00e9sir\u00e9e works as a teacher at the Federal Asylum Centre in Bern.<\/p>\n

\u201cSinging Bach opens my eyes. I become much more open to what is happening around me. I can hear other voices that sense this community.\u201c<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
