Entre Ríos' concert

It was obvious from the start that Leon Gieco's concert at Feria Nacional Artesanal at Parque Quiros in Colon, Entre Rios was going to be different.
It was February, I was on holidays and I got the opportunity to see him and Marcela Morelo that night. Have you seen him? Have you heard of him? Honestly, I had not paid attention in his songs until I heard him in that show.
Leon is one of the most recognised composers in Argentina. The majority of their songs are a criticism about Argentina's history in  70's.  When Argentinean musicians must have live abroad.
On stage, I must confess he gives an excellent performance. Everybody sang and capped every song he played. He knows how to win over his audience.
Although he did not use a lot of special effects, the show was wonderful and he made a large amount of singles. Leon shared photos of people who made something for Human Rights. Before he started singing he explained why he wanted us to know about that people.
It was 1 am and I was singing with the crowd.  The song that I'll remember is 'La Memoria' that was the last I listened to and it made me cry.
The only thing I was not really happy about was when I came back home. We arrived at home, which was far from the concert, and we could listen to him.
If you want to listen to music and learn a little of Argentina's culture you really should watch one of his shows.

One day

Hoy tuve la dicha de disfrutar otra película de mi querida actriz Anne Hathaway,  como Emma y  Dexter (Jim Sturgess)  la historia recorre 20 años en sus vidas desde el momento de su graduación en la Universidad. Ellos se conocen el 15 de julio de 1988, y a partir de esa fecha prometen volver a verse cada año para saber como continúa el rumbo de sus respectivas vidas. Por un lado, Emma es una chica trabajadora con principios, decencia, actitud y con pasión por la escritura. Por otro lado, Dexter es un chico de clase alta, mujeriego que por el momento no comparte las mismas ambiciones que Emma. Durante esos años ellos sellan una hermosa amistad.  Los años comienzan a transcurrir y los cambios comienzan a atravesar sus vidas. Emma es solitaria, los primeros años luego de graduarse trabaja en un bar mexicano, allí conoce a Ian, que por unos años será la pareja, el hombre con quién convive pero no ama. Ian, es comediante para esa época pero...  años después él es...

Monologo de Ser o No Ser (Hamlet ~ William Shakespeare)

Ser o no ser: esa es la cuestión. ¿Qué enaltece más al espíritu: tolerar los golpes y dardos de la injuriosa Fortuna, o alzarse contra un mar de calamidades, y haciéndoles frente, acabar con ellas? Morir..., dormir,... nada más. Y suponer que con un sueño podemos poner fin al dolor en el corazón y a las mil conmociones naturales que la carne ha heredado... Este sería un final para anhelar devotamente. Morir..., dormir... ¡Dormir!... Tal vez soñar... Sí, ese es el incoveniente; porque necesariamente vacilamos ante los sueños que vendrán con ese sueño de muerte, una vez liberados del torbellino de la vida. Es este mismo pensamiento el que prolonga los días de infortunio. Porque ¿quién soportaría los azotes y los insultos de este mundo, los abusos del opresor, las afentas del soberbio, los tormentos de un amor desairado, la dilación de la justicia, la insolencia del poder y los desprecios que el paciente mérito recibe del indigno, cuando uno mismo podría encontrar la paz en...

Dexter's interview

It was written and published 17 years ago... ( Note this is an interview in the Hungarian version of the German newspaper BRAVO. This was made around the summer of ’95 when Noodles just had his cut bald, and Self Esteem, was a No.1 hit all over the world.) 1) Bravo: You don't like cigarette smoke? Dexter: I hate it!!! I fight a lot about this with the others. Cigarette smoke smells terrible and ruins your vocal cords. I used smoke in high school, but only because it was prohibited. But I got off it years ago. 2) Bravo: And what do you think about alcohol and drugs? Dexter: We all used to drink more, but since we're on tour I hardly drink any alcohol - maybe a beer. But we're never drunk. I couldn't produce 100% on stage, with alcohol . I have nothing to say about drugs, I'd be better off dead, than to ever use drugs. I watched two of my best friends literally burn their minds to scum, with cocaine and heroin. In the end they couldn't even speak no...
