I was really tough on Sting in my discussions about his career in spite of me being quite an aficionado of his intriguing music, but he likes to break his fans' hearts. While his current career does find him re-covering his old tunes sometimes, he is at the stage of his career, where this makes a certain amount of sense. Sting belongs to a different time now, he is no longer one of the contemporary musicians, he just happens to be still present. Of course, Symphonicities might be a great example of such a behaviour. Mind you, the LP does have some qualities, but the entire reason for Symphonicities might be that this type of platters are one of the few ways the musicians of Sting's stature can get noticed in the current climate.

"Dunja World - Girl Who Wrote Her Songs In A Bomb Shelter. Wow!"

Image: Dunja World

I first met Dunja at CT Public TV while working on a set. She struck me as friendly and kind, but there was an air of mystery about her. She’s quiet, with an enigmatic presence that has left more than a few people in the industry wondering, "Where did this woman come from? How did she get this far? Who’s behind her success?"

Dunja World is a woman who began writing songs in a bomb shelter and overcame unimaginable obstacles to become one of the most respected figures in the music publishing world.

If you ever get the chance to talk to Dunja, you’ll find yourself in conversation with one of the most fascinating people you’ll ever meet. She has this quirky, knowing look that seems to say, "I know a lot, but I’m not telling..." Trying to get her to open up is like digging for treasure—it’s not easy, but it’s worth the effort.

Those who work closely with Dunja describe her as a true professional, with a meticulous attention to detail that reflects her deep passion and commitment. Yet, despite her deep connections in the industry, she chooses to surround herself with people who are grounded and authentic. In a world where everyone is trying to get ahead, Dunja seeks out the opposite. She’s connected to some of Hollywood’s biggest names, but you won’t find her at every glitzy party. In fact, she rarely attends the ones she’s invited to.

Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul and Mary recently shared his thoughts on Dunja’s voice, calling it "The most moving, wonderful, heartbreakingly beautiful voice." He added, "I loved it when I heard it, and I had no idea who this might be. But this is a great soul as well as a great voice, and it’s so beautiful." And this was before he even saw her in person.

Dunja is a striking woman with a strong presence—someone who commands attention the moment she walks into a room. But what truly inspires me is her perseverance in the music business. She’s not just releasing songs; she’s releasing songs that span different genres, reflecting both her inner strength and contemplation.

Dunja doesn’t believe in putting a song in a box. She’s releasing an EP that showcases her versatility, with both original versions and pop adaptations. "Why should one song be confined to one genre?" she says. "I can write a song and release it in many different styles. After all, I wrote them—they’re my ‘children.’" While she acknowledges the need to sometimes produce songs in a more pop-oriented style, she is steadfast in her commitment to staying true to herself and her roots.

Her latest project, an EP of six songs, was a collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Ben Wisch, known for his work on Marc Cohn’s "Walking in Memphis." I think Dunja and Ben made a great team with no pressure to rush the project. She said that Ben is someone who insists on authenticity, and working with him means getting real with yourself before even stepping into the studio.

The EP that is just about to be released features some truly talented musicians. Besides Dunja writing all her songs, playing piano, electric piano, and doing vocals, we will hear Marc Shulman on acoustic and electric guitars, Joe Bonadio on percussion, Jerry Marotta on drums, Zev Katz on bass guitar and many more....

Dunja also transformed some of these songs into pop versions to reach a broader, younger audience. One of these tracks, "Fearless," is one of the catchiest songs I’ve heard in a long time. Which is one of the main reasons why I am writing this article. Part of the music video was filmed at Connecticut Public TV, and it’s set to be released at the end of September. It's an uplifting song of overcoming and it's easily going to be a new hit song! It's also already getting attention from the movie licensing world. 

I will be watching out for her music releases closely...

La verdad escondida

Jueces y acusados, oficialismo y oposición, los que son noticia y los que publican las noticias, en la verdad escondida cada vez se parecen más, son casi lo mismo y comparten desvalores.

Por más de una década la Justicia investiga al kichnerismo al punto casi de la persecución cuando Bonadio que llevaba muchas causas de CFK la llegó a citar a declarar 9 veces por 9 causas distintas un mismo día. Algo antes ya habían comenzado las denuncias de la oposición y casi en consonancia los medios --hoy anti K-- habían convertido al Kirchnerismo en noticia cada día y siempre negativa.

Pasaron casi 20 años y los distintos actores de esta trama, son casi lo mismo, solo en algunas formas son distintos, pero en el fondo no.

Cuanta verdad hay en aquella frase acerca de tener cuidado de no odiar a tu enemigo, porque lo grave es que podes terminar pareciendote.

Eso le pasó a los más furiosos anti peronistas, que hoy mutados en anti K levantan sin asumirlo una frase, un concepto, casi una máxima de Perón: "Al enemigo ni Justicia.." No lo asumen, no lo reconocerían pero eso sienten para Cristina Kirchner. No les importa si la Justicia no puede probar Asociación Ilicita, festejan al menos que la hayan condenado por Administración Fraudulenta, cuando administrar recursos no es función de un presidente y con una mínima revisión de Cámara (si los jueces no fueran familia, corporativos y mafiosos) en apelación se debería caer por improcedente.

Salvo CFK y Máximo su hijo, todos los demás K fueron presos y algunos todavía están presos. Del lado M de la grieta, hay uno prófugo en Uruguay, unos pocos imputados, casi nadie procesado y nadie fue preso, cuando desde la primera causa de corrupción K en 2005: Skanka, no porque lo diga de mi parte, si no por los hechos, fueron socios, estuvieron los dos lados de la grieta en todas las causas, unos como estado y otros como privados y luego con Macri en la función como privados y estado.

Es inquietante que solo un lado sea culpable y del otro nada, pero se entiende cuando se ve los jueces que intervienen, quienes los nombraron, de quienes seguro el Macrismo tiene carpetas de los cuatro años que controló la AFI y como esto se sostiene desde lo mediático con Grupo Clarin.

Los K se muestran como inocentes de todo y perseguidos, los M como la base moral, los medios dominantes como quienes buscan la verdad y los jueces como quienes condenan al poder en el poder e imparten justicia.

Sin embargo nada de eso es real, si se busca la verdad escondida. Más escondida que el Lago Escondido al cual no es impedido llegar, por el poder de Joe Lewis que ni la sentencia de la Corte Suprema de Río Negro de abrir el camino de Tacuifi acata.

No sé si alguna vez se va a abrir el camino, pero de algo estoy seguro, que de no actuar como una sociedad unida que a todos --- los que queremos y odiamos--- les exigimos la verdad, seguirá escondida.

Y Cristina ni Macri van a responder si robaron al Estado, los Jueces tampoco si quisieron ocultar su reunión en lo de Lewis y para que fue y Clarin por qué miente.

Que miente es un hecho, las criticas a Messi demuestran como no tienen límites si se trata de politizar y dividir, pero por qué lo hacen.

Solo una sociedad exigente, preparada y unida, puede llegar a alguna verdad.

Elton John's opera remake got me thinking about the times popular musicians try to tackle the classical idiom. Most of them involve the principle we can hear on Sting's Symphonicities, i.e. whenever a player reaches a certain age, he or she decides to tackle his or her own compositions through the filter of an orchestra. Since we mentioned Sting – his self-cover LP does feel something he should've done ages ago. I mean, his early jazz musicianship does equip him well for the challenge, but I sort of ask myself – why he didn't do anything like this sooner? I agree, he probably didn't assume he could've done this in the past, yet there was always something classical about him, you could already hear this in his work with The Police.
