Deep Purple plays "Adios Nonino"
YouTube - Deep Purple - Don Airey - Adios Nonino (Piazzolla) Cba - Arg
Well ... this isn't exactly the Deep Purple I remember (which had Jon Lord rather than Don Airey on keyboards). However, I assume that they are still a rock band, so it's interesting to hear this rendition of Adios Nonino in concert. I guess the Argentine youth all know this piece. ?

Pugliese Colon Concert
In 1985, Osvaldo Pugliese and his orchestra performed in El Teatro Colon - a performance center for classical music and dance, kind of the pinnacle venue for high art in Buenos Aires, comparable to, say, Carnegie Hall or L'Opera Garnier.
Just having tango in this theater was significant. For Pugliese it was an acknowledgement of his lifetime's work.
The video record of this concert is astounding not only for its performances, which are powerful and majestic, but also for the audience response, which reminded me of a rock concert or a soccer match. Screaming and applause are heard throughout each performance. A huge swelling ovation begins about a minute before the end of each number. What Osvaldo Pugliese represented to his audience was more than music - although the legacy of his approx. 75 years of performing and band leading had a huge impact on the lives of thousands through the decades. But it wasn't just the music. Osvaldo Pugliese was well known for the courage of his political convictions. He was often in jail for them. Some of his "side men" made more money than he did because he ran his orchestra as a collective with full-equity profit sharing. Individual musicians who moonlighted (e.g., bandoneonist Osvald Ruggiero) had a higher income than Pugliese himself. His fans knew that about him, and admired him for his simple modesty.
This excerpt features the song "La Yumba" where the "alumni" from all his past orchestras file onto the stage to play together.

Social websites expose class divide
Social websites expose class divide | Technology | Guardian Unlimited Technology
Typical Facebook users, she said, "tend to come from families who emphasise education and going to college. They are primarily white, but not exclusively." MySpace, on the other hand, "is still home for Latino and Hispanic teens, immigrant teens" as well as "other kids who didn't play into the dominant high school popularity paradigm".
The class difference between the two websites could lie in their origins. Mr Zuckerberg started his service while studying at Harvard and until late last year membership was limited to university students and individuals with an email address from an academic institution. This, said Ms Boyd, had given the site higher value among aspirational teens. In the paper she also conjectured that a recent decision by the US military to ban service personnel from using sites including MySpace showed evidence of social fissures in the forces."A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because there's a division, even in the military. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook." According to Ms Boyd, Facebook is not used by young soldiers, who are generally less well-educated and from poorer backgrounds, and there is an element of social conflict in the ban." The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage."

Just imagine being Cesar Coelho, twirling around the stage, hundreds of people watching you, hundreds of grateful people, privileged to see you express yourself.
Or imagine being one of the best professional women tango dancers of our time. What an honor it would be to allow Cesar to express himself with you as his instrument, insufficient as you might be.
Everyone just prays to God that he will take his shirt off. "Please please, God," they say, "I'll do anything."
And then ... just when hope seems most dim, it happens:
