Maluma TaketeMALUMA TAKETE

SYNESTHESIASynesthesia, from the ancient Greek σύν (syn), "together," and αἴσθησις (aisthēsis), "sensation, "is a neurologically-based condition in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia)

“…a curious condition in which an otherwise normal person experiences sensations in one (sensory) modality when a second modality is stimulated.”(Ramachandran and Hubbard (2001) in http://www.lurj.org/article.php/vol2n1/synesthesia.xml)
