Why Not Argentina

¿would you like some fries with that? Let us remember that America is a whole continent (México and Argentina included), it is not "the Americas", "Latin América" or stupid concepts like something not being in the "Northern Americas" just to exclude Mexico wich is actually part of North America. "If a person that was born in Europe is European, and a person that was born in Africa is African, tell me why can't I be American?" Los Tigres del...

Era un viaje de 26 horas en colectivo de vuelta hasta la frontera con Argentina. Sin baño, sin amortiguación, sin herramientas para arreglar la rueda que se salía. Por "camino" de cornisa. Allá abajo, carcazas de colectivos derrapados. Ya de noche, paramos en un pueblo para que nos cambiaran el micro o lo arreglaran. Mientras lo usamos para dormir. A la tarde siguiente hubo que matar tiempo en la placita, libro en mano. Unos chicos con bombitas de agua nos mojaron...

Gabriel Heinze on the big game tonight. "We will be going after the 3 points. It would be the best way of ending this stage of the WC Qualifying. I want to win in Brasil and believe that we will win. I can feel it. It's about time. Argentina must land a blow on Brasil's table . I am in debt with myself and want to pay it. I don't think of anything else." "In football you can win, lose or draw. The important thing is to learn from the errors. I believe in these players. One bad...

By César Fernando Zapata cfzap@yahoo.com FORT MYERS, Florida -- Back in the 1950's, had you wanted to make people laugh, the best joke you could have told was this: "Spain will be a rich, first-world, country". Those listening would think that was an excellent joke. Why? Because Spain, during the 1950's, was a poor country, or even more than poor: Mexico (itself a poor country) was even richer than Spain. Even Argentina was considered a wealthier and more developed country than backward Spain. Back then,...

Argentina. A country synthesized in 4 songs. Impossible. There is no doubt that the feelings of a country can´t be summed up this way. But why not experiment? There is more than that, a fun experiment. One way to understand where are we heading. A musical trip, a healer trip. A search of sounds that make us family to visit a country.Why not think that a sound can achieve identify a country? The Bossa Nova is the sound that identifies Brazil. The Salsa is the sound that identifies Cuba, the examples can be...

Este fué el trabajo final para la clase de Periodismo sobre KFAI Community Radio. KFAI is the only community radio in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They have a permanent and paid staff of six people, the rest are all volunteers. When this reporter worked as an intern for three months at KFAI, she had a lot of questions to be answered. In Argentina, her own country, because of economic reasons and the differences with the United States culture, it is almost impossible to have a community radio like KFAI. The...

El Cielo Agulla & Baccetti, Santo, VegaOlmosPonce, CraveroLanis, Madre, Mix, La Negra. Those names may not mean anything to you, but those names are written along with JWT, BBDO, Saatchi & Saatchi, Euro RSCG, McCann Erickson, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy & Mather and DDB in the hall of fame of Argentina´s advertising industry. As I talked earlier to Tiffany, those agencies have created for the past 20 years the most amazing advertising ever made in Latin America. The secret: they created an argentinean way of doing...

Fifa's decision to ban internationals being played above 2,500m has actually helped bring antagonistic factions in South America closer together. Fifa has really done a good job at angering people in the the Andes with its decision to ban international matches played above an altitude of 2,500m. Regional politicians, football pundits, players, coaches and officials are up in arms denouncing discrimination and, for once, Fifa cannot blame anybody but itself for mixing politics and sports. Altitude has been...

Las sierras de Cordoba limitan con la Pampa humeda, que se extiende hasta sus pies; son por esto las montañas mas accesibles del interior de la Argentina. No alcanzan ni la extension ni las altitudes de otras sierras Pampeanas, pero sus paisajes y su clima estimulante les han dado justa fama como zona turistica y de climoterapia. En cuanto a su zoogeografia podemos destacar que abundan los murcielagos, en las sierras viven la vizcacha y el venado o ciervo, en las salinas se difunde el conejo de palo o de...

The Seven Old White Dwarves — Sleazy, Dopey, Preachy, Nasty, Floppy, Wacky and Clueless — tortured Univsion viewers last night for several hours. I’m not sure why, other than to show off that none of them speak much Spanish. Clueless managed to refer to KING Juan-Carlos of Spain as "Prince" Juan-Carlos. Um… Juan-Carlos has been the King for the last thirty plus years. OK, so Clueless is a bit long in the tooth, and was out of circulation for a few years back then. Geeze,...

Had the chance to catch Soda Stereo's reunion tour here in Miami on Tuesday night, and it rocked! The place was pretty full (7/8's) according to the Herald's Levine. It was great hearing their older and newer classics such as Cuando Pase el Temblor, Nada Personal, Primavera Cero. The crowd went absolutely bonkers when they played Persiana Americana, and of course, De Musica Ligera. Unlike the Herald's Levin, I actually thought the older songs, from their "new wavish" fase held up quite well. It was a hell...
