[waste-it-on-something-useful]

In my childhood I was a fervent worshiper of the tiger: not the jaguar, the spotted “tiger” of the Amazonian tangles and the isles of vegetation that float down the Paraná, but that striped, Asiatic, royal tiger, that can only be faced by a man of war, on a castle atop an elephant. [...] Childhood passed away, and the tigers and my passion for them grew old, but still they are in my dreams.

José Zúñiga (as a character called Miguel Flores) reads from a poem in Jorge Louis Borges’ collection Dreamtigers (1960) in the film Fresh Kill (Shu Lea Cheang, 1994).

Develadora semblanza sobre Abraham Valdelomar escrita por Jorge Basadre

Develadora semblanza sobre Abraham Valdelomar escrita por Jorge Basadre

En el siguiente texto, el historiador peruano Jorge Basadre muestra algunos extractos poco conocidos de Abraham Valdelomar, uno de los escritores más originales de la literatura peruana, no solo por su prosa elegante, sino por su personalidad que escandalizó a los limeños pacatos del siglo pasado y su producción que iba más allá de lo netamente literario. Valdelomar fue periodista, ensayista,…

"Yo pensé que uno tiene el deber de ser feliz, no por uno sino por las personas que lo quieren a uno. Uno debe ser o simular ser feliz para no apenar a quienes lo quieren. Yo estaba siguiendo un tratamiento para la vista. Mi madre, que estaba muriéndose, había cumplido ya 99 años y tenía terror de llegar a los cien, me decía: “Ahora ves un poco mejor”. Y yo, con toda crueldad, con toda pedantería, le dije: “No, sigo no viendo”. Nada me hubiera costado mentirle, decirle: “Sí, estoy viendo un poco más, ahora percibo tal color…” ¿Por qué no lo hice? Es imposible que haya obrado de un modo tan terrible, pero me acuerdo de haberlo hecho delante de todos ustedes. Entonces yo pensé, claro, he cometido el peor de los pecados, no ser feliz. No por uno; si hay otros que lo quieren a uno, uno tiene por lo menos que fingir, simular la felicidad".

— Jorge Luis Borges | Entrevista con Tomás Abraham, Alejandro Rússovich y Enrique Marí en la Facultad de Psicología [12 de septiembre de 1984]

BENIDORM FEST 2024 - PARTICIPANTS

Yesterday (november 11) all 16 participants of Benidorm Fest 2024 were revealed - the songs will be revealed on december 14th. I wanted to make this post talking about all the possible representants of Spain in ESC 2024, as a little intro to them and how their songs might sound like. As always, everything will be below the cut :)

ALMÁCOR

Arturo Almarcha Corella, better known as Almácor (Villena, 26) is an urban artist that started his career in 2019. He has released an EP since then, and has collabed with artists like Henry Mendez or Chimbabala. This year he was nominated in the Best New Urban Artist in the Los 40 Music Awards. His most popular song is DE TO', and his last released song is Pop Tech.

ANGY FERNÁNDEZ

Angy Fernández (Palma, 33) is a LEGEND and our very own emo princess, she's an icon. Her leap to fame was being the runner up in the first edition of Spanish X Factor, in 2007, but she became a phenomenon when she starred in iconic teen drama Física o Química (2008-2011) as Paula Blasco. She also released various albums and songs, like the hit and iconic emo bop Sola en el silencio. After the show she has appeared in various TV programs like Tu Cara Me Suena, and has continued making music as well as acting in theatre, cinema and TV shows. Her last released song is Dualidad.

DELLACRUZ

Jorge de la Cruz Correa, better known as Dellacruz (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is a Canarian urban pop singer that started his own singing career in 2019 after ample experience as a songwriter; he has written songs for artists such as Sergio Dalma, Xuso Jones, or Dvicio, among many others. His most known song is La Trama, whereas his last released song is Tocamos Cielo.

JORGE GONZÁLEZ

Jorge González González (Madrid, 35) first rose to fame after competing in OT 2006, and he since has been in two Spanish preselections for ESC 2009 and 2014. He has also participated in The Voice and in Tu Cara Me Suena, where he won in the 2020 edition. His most famous song is Por Besarte, and his last released song is Agüita.

LÉRICA

Lérica is a duo composed of Tony Mateo (San Fernando, 29) and Juan Carlos Arauzo formed in 2015 that sings pop infused flamenco and urban music, and have collabed with very big artists like Belinda, Gente de Zona, Abraham Mateo (brother of Tony Mateo), Cali y el Dandee or Juan Magán. They have 14 platinum albums and 9 golden ones, and are right now the most listened to Spanish duo in terms of streams. Their most famous song is Flamenkito, and their latest released song is Un Rato pa Siempre.

MANTRA

Mantra is a pop band made out of Carlos Marco (Alacant, 31), Paula Pérez and Charly Weinberg (Madrid, 25), born in 2020 when the three friends decided to start a project together. All three have been in the music industry for a long time; Carlos Marcos is the most-known of them, as he was part of the boyband Auryn (alongside Spain's representant in ESC 2021, Blas Cantó), who participated in the ESC 2011 preselection. They have an up-beat and positive attitude in their songs, and have released their first album in 2023. Their most popular song is No Te Esperaba, and their latest single is ¿Te Acuerdas o No?.

MARÍA PELÁE

María Peláe (Málaga, 33) is an icon and a flamenco singer known for her witty and ironic lyrics, with a modern spin on traditional sounds. She started her career in 2016 after studying Anthropology and Social Work in university, and so her songs usually have a social message. In fact, in 2023 she was awarded the Rainbow Award by the Ministry of Equality for her work in the LGBTQ+ scene. A song I really recommend of hers regarding this is La Niña, a very fun song about wlws (also the music video is soooo). She has released two albums - the second of which won an Odeón to Best Flamenco Album, and has participated in various TV shows like Tu Cara Me Suena. Her most popular song is Por si te vas, and her latest single is Letra Menúa.

MARLENA

MARLENA is an indie pop duo composed by Ana Legazpi (voice) and Carolina Moyano (guitar) that formed a band in 2017 when they decided to participate in X Factor Italy. They became friends with Damiano and Victoria from Maneskin, and decided to name themselves after one of their songs, Torna a Casa, where the name Marlena appears. They even sing some of Maneskin's song in their concerts. In 2021 they were nominated for Best New Artist or Group in the Los 40 Music Awards, and have collabed with Nil Moliner, La Pegatina or Despistados. I listen to their song bailamorena at least once a week (i wish i was joking), tho their most popular song is Me Sabe Mal. Their latest released song is Red Flags.

MISS CAFFEINA

Miss Caffeina, formed by Alberto Jiménez (voice), Sergio Sastre (guitar and keyboard) and Antonio Poza (bass) is definitely the biggest name this edition. They are a staple in the indie rock scene since their inception in 2006, and are especially staples in music festivals all over the country and abroad. They have realeased three albums and an EP, and their most known song is the modern classic Mira Cómo Vuelo, with over 13 m views on youtube. Their last released single is Para toda la vida.

NEBULOSSA

Nebulossa is an electropop band formed by María Bas (voice) and Mark Dasousa (producer, synths). They debuted in 2021, and define their formula as MPYMS (A lot of Pop and a lot of Synths), basing their music on the sounds an rhythms of the 80s. Their most popular song is GLAM, and their latest song is 1N84.

NOAN

Noan (Zarautz, 25) is a pop-rock indie artist that debuted in 2020. He has collabed with zzoilo or El Sueño de Morfeo, and I personally really enjoy his collab with Paula Koops, Odio que te Quiero. His most popular song is ME MATA(S), and his latest song is Zero (which is a cover btw).

QUIQUE NIZA

Quique Niza (Madrid, 20) is a musical theatre actor who has been performing all of his life; some of his notable roles are Kurt von Trapp in The Sound of Music, and Danny Zuko in Grease (I saw him live here, and he's incredible!). He has also appeared in some TV shows, like UPA Next and Días Mejores. He has only released one song so far, Ardo.

ROGER PADRÓS

Roger Padrós (Polinyà, 26) is a Catalan singer and piano player that first rose to fame as a participant in The Voice. He has since released an EP and an album, with songs both in Spanish and Catalan (he has confirmed his song for Benidorm Fest will be in Catalan). He is also the resident musician of Casa Batlló, in Barcelona. His most popular song is Digue'm, and his latest song is El Buit.

SOFIA COLL

Sofia Coll i Benito (Barcelona, 24) is a singer, actress, and dancer who rose to fame as a participant of The Voice Kids when she was 14, although she didn't release music until 2019, with songs that mixed Spanish and English. She was one of the protagonist of the TV show Bany Compartit (I watched the first episode while writing this, it's really fun and I really recommend it! Episodes are around 10 minutes long, and you can find all of them in RTVE Play and Youtube; they're in catalan, but there's Spanish subs available), and she was one of the dancers in Rosalía's mv for Fucking Money Man. Finally, she participated in the Catalan music contest Eufòria this year, ending up 4th. Her most popular song is Tú Mente y Yo Corazón, and her latest song is Génesis: Alive.

ST. PEDRO

Pedro Hernández, better known as st. Pedro (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) is an urban artist, rising to fame due to The Voice, where he participated in 2017. Through the program he met Juanes, his musical godfather. He has know collabed with Alizzz in Miami, where he lives now. His most known song is Cerca del Sol, and his latest song is No es lo que toca.

YOLY SAA

Yoly Saa (Pontevedra) is a Galician singer-songwriter singing in Spanish that has been making music since 2020, although she has also composed for other artists such as Luz Casal o Malú. She has released an EP and a full album, and participated in Dúos Increíbles in 2022. Her most popular song is Todo contigo, and her latest song is Mal de altura.

I hope you're answering questions and this one doesn't bother you. I'm curious about Tin/Jupiter and the roles it may have in an alchemical story.

I'm away from my reference books for a while, but off the top of my head the one character who is associated with Jupiter/tin is Ron Weasley in Harry Potter. Ron refers to Jupiter a few times in the series--he exclaims "By Jupiter" for example, if I recall correctly.

I know @hamliet has a copy of Lyndy Abraham's dictionary, so you might want to ask her to look up Jupiter/tin.

One of the plates in Splendor Solis is devoted to Jupiter, so that's a potential source of story ideas for an author who wants to work the "lesser" metals in. I'm unable to upload the image, but here's a description of it by Jorg Vonagel, an art historian at the State Museums of Berlin.

Drawn by two peacocks, their tail feathers down, Jupiter’s planetary chariot navigates its way across the heavens. Holding two arrows as attributes in his right hand, the planetary god sits enthroned in his chariot while an aid, kneeling before him, offers him a bowl. The more noble circles of society fall under Jupiter’s rule, including the nobility and the clergy. The painter of the Splendor Solis expands this group to include alchemists, whom he depicts in the right midground in a state of industrious activity. Here, one of the adepts can be seen leaning over towards a helmet-shaped oven-top known as an alembic, while the other one inspects the flask he is holding in his left hand. The left-hand side of the picture is occupied by a pigeon-blue palace building which is based on an engraving by Daniel Hopfer. Out the front of the building a pope seated beneath a red baldachin is crowning a new emperor. As is the case with several of the illustrations in the Splendor Solis, the coronation scene incorporates a number of details drawn from a woodcut in Hans Holbein the Younger’s series Bilder des Todes (Pictures of Death). Showing the emperor kissing the feet of the pope, Holbein’s woodcut “Der Bapst” (The Pope) signals the submissiveness of the secular world in the face of the church’s omnipotence. In the Splendor Solis, however, the emperor not only receives the crown with his head upright but is also endowed with the physiognomy of Charles v, who had just been crowned Holy Roman emperor in Bologna in 1530. This discovery is quite remarkable in an artistic sense insofar as the painter of the Splendor Solis took the liberty of updating the stereotypical pope and emperor featured in the original source of 1524-26 in order to capture the latest historical developments. Set within the angular niche of the inserted panel is a glass flask upon a green laurel wreath. Inside the flask, three birds – black, white and red – are fighting with one another. This renewed allusion to the three principal colours of alchemy is discussed in the text that precedes it. The painter copied the motif of the three fighting birds from the alchemical illuminated manuscript of the Aurora Consurgens. It symbolises the separation of matter by heating, its subsequent purification in the next stage of transmutation, and, as will be seen in the following miniature, its fusion into one bird with three heads.

[marco-roman]

Jorge Díaz Herrera: «Por una calle derecha, bordeando el Agua de los Pajaritos, se llega al cementerio, y aunque no hay tapia alguna que lo cerque, y por no topar con la testarudez del panteonero, todos entramos por la puerta, que como usted la verá es enorme y de fierro, ya medio carcomida por el óxido, ya medio queriéndose caer. En Santa Engracia nos conocemos tanto y se han conocido tanto quienes nos antecedieron, que cualquiera le podría hacer oír la historia de cada una de las tumbas que están allí, desperdigadas entre el herbazal y las retamas, que de cuando en cuando se acuerda de podar el viejo Abraham. Yo siempre he dicho que son los matorrales y unos tres álamos enornes quienes le dan a nuestro cementerio su verdadero aspecto de camposanto. Todos descansan bajo tierra, menos los párvulos; para ellos se ha hecho unas colmenas de piedra y barro, blanqueadas con cal en cada difuntito, que hablando en confianza son los más de los entierros. En Santa Engracia los menos en morirse son los ancianos; en cambio, como dice el viejo Abraham, los angelitos no demoran en llegar...» (1992: 9).

The Twins were ready from the start as Willi Castro led-off the first with a double. He went to second on a groundball and Trevor Larnach hit an RBI groundout to second to start the scoring. The A's answered in the bottom of the first when Abraham Toro and JJ Bleday singled. Tyler Soderstrom lined a two-out single to right and the game was tied at one after an inning of play. Oakland would rally in the fifth when Miguel Andujar and Brent Rooker singled with two outs. Tyler Soderstrom doubled home a pair and Shea Langeliers singled in another run. This put Oakland up 4-1 after five frames. The Twins would inch closer in the sixth as Royce Lewis blasted a Joey Estes curveball out to left for a solo homer. The Twins would rally again in the seventh as Christian Vazquez singled and Austin Martin walked. Willi Castro belted an Austin Adams fastball out to right for a three-run homer to put the Twins on top 5-4. The A's answered in the bottom of the eighth as Tyler Soderstrom was hit by a pitch and Shea Langeliers smacked a Jhoan Duran splitter out to left for a two-run homer. This put the A's up 6-5 and Mason Miller threw a 1-2-3 ninth as Oakland stunned the Twins tonight.

-Final Thoughts- Chris Paddack didn't have the best night. He went 4 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on five hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Kody Funderburk retired four men with two strikeouts, Jorge Alcala fanned two in a perfect seventh, and Jhoan Duran gave up the homer to Shea Langeliers in the eighth. Willi Castro, Christian Vazquez, and Austin Martin had two hits each. The Twins hit 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and left seven men on base. Tomorrow, Bailey Ober faces JP Sears in Game 2.

Jesús Abraham “Tato” Laviera Sánchez (May 9, 1951 - November 1, 2013) a community activist, poet, declamador, playwright, author, and “a chronicler of life in El Barrio,” was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico to Maria Sánchez Ramos, an embroiderer, and Pablo Laviera Ramírez, a political nationalist, bricklayer, and contactor.

His Lower East Side (Loisaida) fifth-grade Catholic schoolteacher in NYC refused to call him Jesús because he was Black and did not speak English, thus his middle name held. He affixed “Tato,” bestowed by his brother. He attended Cornell University and Brooklyn College.

He was the director of the University of the Streets youth program. He led the Association of Community Service Centers and Hispanic Drama Workshop. He taught creative writing at Rutgers University.

As president of the New Jíbaro Democratic Club, he secured Loisaida US Post Office formal recognition and marshaled 100 activists to seize the offices of Gouverneur Hospital. The successful protest prevented the planned closing of the only multilingual medical facility.

He was inspired to write after meeting Afro-Puerto Ricans Juan Boria, Cortijo y su Combo, Luis Palés Matos, Clemente Soto Vélez, and Jorge Brandon. His books include, La Carreta Made a U-Turn, Enclave, AmeRícan, Mainstream Ethics, and Mixturao. His plays include La Chefa, Here We Come, Becoming García, King of Cans, and Piñones. “AmeRican” is the most anthologized Puerto Rican poem and many of his works are part of the Latinx literary canon. La Carreta was the first Arte Público publication and he helped the press become the largest publisher of US Latinx authors. He is in Birthwrite, Los dos Mundos de Angelita, and The Browning of America films.

He received the Long Island State University Lifetime Achievement, Comité Noviembre Puerto Rican Heritage, Puerto Rican Embassy’s Pedro Pietri Hand, and American Book awards. Artist Don Rimx created a Tato-depicted mural memorial at East Harlem’s Taíno Towers. He has a theatre named in his honor, and its 123rd street corner was renamed Jesús “Tato” Laviera Way. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
