Enrique Santos Discépolo
Since we always knew that the world was (and is) a mess, in five hundred and six and two thousand too, but it was in 1934 when the truth began to be said in a masterly way designed to keep track tango effect. Yesterday I went in a taxi from Villa Urquiza to Retiro. All the way (Congress, City Council, Sante Fe, Maipú and Paraguay) had the good fortune to listen to Enrique Santos Discépolo. It was a radio station in charge of giving us the gift of birthday, with the help of a knowledgeable driver, who identified the performers and orchestras breaks, the pair make an excellent duo in the first. No sounded just tangos. They also spoke of the life of Discépolo, with precise references to Armando and the call "grotesque theatrical Argentina, of which this influential Discepolín brother was the undisputed creator. enjoyed Cambalache sung by Julio Sosa, as the correct identification of the driver tango and I said, as many times: "This seems to be written yesterday."
No text of philosophy is equal in clarity, density and accuracy, when talking about axiological issues. Besides philosophical Cambalache is sharp and has the cruelty of a verbal grandeur irrefutable. The possibility of exchanging names at any time and space, or used as archetypes Stavisky, Don Bosco, to "Mignon", a Carnera and San Martin, is one of the features of his stubborn belligerence. Do you, reader, the exercise of applying the letter of the tango to our present, in San Felipe, in Barquisimeto, in universities in the world of culture, or in any other area you know well, and check with ; less heartbreak astonishment, that "everything is equal" and that "nothing is better: the same a donkey a great teacher! ". Discépolo you go drawing back the veil of a moral disaster that seems infinite in its disrespect and affront to reason. We illustrate scenes of infamy and chaos, not the Random Lezama competition, but of the "chance of insolence" as someone once said, about this outrageous barter, problematic and feverish twentieth century and now in the XXI.
During the trip to Florida also heard What vachaché (1926) and got the sentence that foretells a Cambalache the great tango in contemporary philosophy, which Discépolo, as we said, wrote in the 34: "True love drowned in the soup / the queen and the belly is money is god. " images of politics and economics of our nations and, in general, culture prevailing now, hanging over me. I remembered our own grotesque scenes of national (or regional, if you like) and felt a rush of embarrassment. Discépolo aguarnos again the feast of their own party Tango on Sunday.
This society of ethical decline that has seen consciences are priced at a seedy market, increasing every day your domain, drowning revolutionary zeal and utopias any caliber, despite good intentions. Have you seen either how " is the same the one who works night and day as an ox, / that the lives of others / the kills and the healer / or out of law ... " and has forced us to verify that the author of Cambalache is boldly denounced their evils and transparency.
When I reached my destination was playing One It was not just the driver that made him duo Hector Maure, but Cuchi, knowing many tangos from his memory treasured childhood. They did not say at any time on the radio, for the duration of our trip-at least-but to get off the taxi I noticed one of my pride for several decades, was fulfilling, like me, the great, the great Enrique Santos Discépolo. The morning looked radiant, therefore, that resembled "a day Peronist," as claimed by some quarters of the city dear.
