Emi & Tagus (4 yo) sing Monty Python

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina. Nor Monty Python neither this song are widely known in Argentina, but for some reason Tagus, who's 4 years old, knows it, so we sing it (well, the chorus) together... BTW Tagus doesn't really speak English (she hardly speaks Spanish our local language)...

New Release: Tango Santo, Tribal Tango

04/2008: NEW RELEASE: TANGO SANTO, TRIBAL TANGO

Debut album for the band that came to change the sound of tango forever: Tango Santo

Eternal Sunday introduces the debut album of the band that came to change the sound of tango forever: Tango Santo.

In the last few years different variations of traditional tango were born and revitalized the whole scene. The creation of electrotango, the combination of traditional tango with elements of electronic music was the spark that initiated the tango craze, not only in Buenos Aires, its natal city, but around the world. Producers and bands that came from every music tradition tried new ways of making tango, but only a few artists came up with really interesting and original fusions.

The one archived by Tango Santo is, undoubtedly, one of the happiest combinations. Tango Santo mixes traditional tango sounds with an electronic flavour and African percussion and rhythms. These rhythmic were present in the musical cocktail from which tango emerged in the last decades of the XIX century, but were eventually discarded, though they remained present in Uruguayan candombe and the murgas (in fact traditional tango is one of the few danceable styles that has absolutely no percussion elements).

This idea, of course, it's not new. But the members of Tango Santo are not improvised: the percussionists are members of an African percussion workshop where they study the rhythms, build the drums and instruments (these are not instruments you get in any shop) and perform the music. These years of experience and original research positions Tango Santo way ahead of any other band that could have tried this fusion.

Puro Bailongo (Tango Electro Tribal), the first album of this revolutionary band, has eight instrumental tracks, one of them a cover version of a tango written by maestro Osvaldo Pugliese and the other seven written by the leader of the band, the multifacetic Carlos Boccardo. Carlos is not only a great violinist and composer, he's also a tango lover and has studied its origins extensively, and he combines this role as a musician with many other cool activities: he's a professional graphic designer and an actor, acting in theatre and movies (he got a leading role in "Los Ángeles, La Película", an important Argentinean production planned to be released in 2008), among other things. Of course, Carlos dances the tango every week at the local milongas (places to dance tango) so he took care that every track by Tango Santo can be easily danced.

Eternal Sunday presents this exceptional album that undoubtedly will make History, inside of Argentina as well as in the rest of the world. We keep this way our compromise of taking the best music from our country and sharing it with the rest of the world.

This agreement was offered by the A&R scouts of Petrol, who actively search around the world for the most promissory new labels to offer them appear at their compilations.

Eternal Sunday en PRENSARIO Enero 2008

Eternal Sunday terminó un gran año que incluyó la firma de un contrato con el sello Petrol y la elección de Valerio Rinaldi para el Festival SXSW 2008.


Emiliano Canal, director del sello, explica: ‘El 2007 terminó con una agradable sorpresa para nosotros: firmamos un contrato con el sello Petrol y su subsidiaria Pistol para que el catálogo de Eternal Sunday aparezca en las prestigiosas compilaciones que lanza esta compañía a nivel mundial. Petrol es el sello del mítico australiano CM Murphy, ex mánager de INXS, y es considerado uno de los más importantes del mundo (si no el más importante) en el mercado de la world music y tiene distribución mundial física a través de EMI.

El acuerdo nos fue propuesto por el equipo de A&Rs de Petrol, que es muy activo buscando novedades y dando a conocer los catálogos de sellos promisorios. Nosotros negociamos un punto, a mi entender, muy interesante: les licenciamos no sólo el catálogo de Eternal Sunday, sino mucho material inédito que nuestros productores tienen acumulado, especialmente tracks de electrotango, folklore electrónico, lounge y pop/ rock cantado en inglés.’

La otra novedad es que el artista Valerio Rinaldi fue seleccionado para participar en el Festival SXSW en marzo. ‘Ya lo habíamos adelantado en BAFIM, el SXSW es quizás el festival musical más importante de Estados Unidos y hay bandas que pagan miles de dólares para tener la posibilidad de ser escuchadas en ese ámbito. Aclaro que la gente de la organización no nos cobró ni un dólar ni siquiera por presentar las solicitudes de nuestros artistas, porque habíamos entablado una buena relación en Buenos Aires y sabían que se nos hubiera hecho difícil afrontar esos gastos siendo un sello que recién comienza’, expresa Canal.

‘Estas dos novedades me llenan particularmente de orgullo, porque hablamos de una compañía y un evento de primera línea, y nos ayudan a posicionar a Eternal Sunday donde siempre quisimos estar: a la vanguardia de la nueva música argentina for export, mostrando las creaciones de los artistas locales al mundo y conquistando activamente nuevos mercados para nuestra música’, concluye.

Para cerrar el año, la canción "Stupid SuperStar" de KooLTURE fue elegida como el tema oficial del festival de cine gay y lésbico ‘LesGaiCineVox 07’, que se realizó en noviembre en las provincias de Córdoba y Santa Fe.

Osho: about journalism

"That’s why people go on reading the newspapers.

Newspapers help you very much. Early in the morning, before you have even taken your tea. you are ready for the newspaper. And the newspaper brings nothing like news, because there is nothing new. It is the same old rotten thing.

But you feel good: somewhere, somebody has been murdered, somewhere there has been a Watergate, and somewhere something else, and somewhere somebody has stolen, and somebody’s wife has escaped with somebody else... and so on and so forth.

Watching all that, you relax; you feel, 'So, I am not so bad – the whole world is going to the dogs. I am a far better person. I have not yet escaped with the wife of the neighbor. I have not killed anybody yet – although I think of it, but thinking is not a crime where people are actually doing things.'

You feel good. And the moment you feel good, you remain the same"

(Osho, The Tantra Vision Vol 1).

Electronic music pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen dead

Electronic music pioneer Karlheinz Stockhausen dead (August 22, 1928 – December 5, 2007)
The German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen known for his ground-breaking work in electronic music and aleatory (controlled chance) in serial composition is no longer. He was 79 and died in the German city of Kürten, in Nordrhein-Westfalen so the Stockhausen Foundation led by his ex-wife Mary Bauermeister announced on Friday. No cause of death was diclosed.

Having composed 362 individually performable works, Stockhausen was one of the most important artist in the avant-garde movement after World War II. After a short career in non electronic music in March 1953 he moved to the NWDR studio in Cologne to work on electronic music. The first result of that were two "Electronic Studies", respectively recorded in 1953 and 1954.

Stockhausen also caused lots of commotion with un unorthodox way of woring and thinking. After the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, Stockhausen declared that the attacks were "Lucifer's greatest work of art". However, most of the press only printed the words "works of art".

Stockhausen was a source of inspiration for many electronic musicians like Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre and so on. A commemorative concert will take place soon at the Sülztalhalle in Kürten. Programme, time and date will be announced. A memorial booklet can be downloaded here.

Stockhausen's last controversial work was the Helicopter String Quartet, where four members of a string quartet performed in four helicopters flying independent flight-paths over the countryside near the concert hall. The sounds they played were mixed together with the sounds of the helicopters and played through speakers to the audience in the hall.

Murphy's laws on LOVE

Here are my favorite Murphy's laws on love:

The basic one:
  • The amount of love someone feels for you is inversely proportional to how much you love them.

The golden rule:
  • Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself.

The 10 laws that made me laugh (because they're true):
  • All the good ones are taken.
  • Availability is a function of time. The minute you get interested is the minute they find someone else.
  • You get the best sex from the worst one for you
  • The duration of a relationship to a person is inversely proportionate to the importance of person to you.
  • The hornier someone is, the less likely that it will be they have sex.
    Corollary Horniness is inversely related to one's chance of scoring.
  • You'll think of a great line to say to someone the moment after your chance is gone.
  • The person you want the most will end up with the person you hate the most.
  • The sexier a man is, the better the chances that he is gay.
  • Your seduction potential is inversely proportional to your willingness to seduce.
  • The love of your life will only want you back once you are in another serious relationship.

And the law of neighborhood correspondence...
  • Show me a husband who won't, I'll show you a neighbor who will
