To the Troesma from the middle of
the world
Gardel lives
By Juan Carlos Faidutti
Journalist and jurisconsult, he was born in Guayaquil
in 1933, at that University he followed high studies of jurisprudence
and diplomacy. During his juridical activity he published "Causas eximientes
de la responsabilidad criminal en la Legislación Penal ecuatoriana",
"Política aerocomercial del Ecuador" and "Apoderamiento ilícito
de aeronaves en vuelo". He was ambassador of Ecuador to the Organization
of American States (OAS) and Canada. He is an outstanding political
commentator in different organs of communication of his country and
member of the Instituto Latinoamericano de Derecho Aeronáutico
y Espacial.
I do not know its origins, I have scarcely read anything
about its history, I have only listened to it and go on listening to
it with pleasure and emotion, enough reason to say that tango is Argentina.
Few musics have consubstantiated so much with the people who sing it
as Argentina did with tango. Because tango is a lament, rebelliousness,
love, passion, dreams, hopes, feelings and the gaucho people is all
that.
In each lyric of a tango and at each time all that
bulk of living experiences are portrayed and that is why that to know
and understand Argentina is necessary to listen to tango.
But, so as tango is Argentina, I consider it impossible
to divorce tango from Gardel. The researchers, when investigating Gardel's
birthplace are wasting time. The Zorzal Criollo can only be porteño
as the Río de la Plata is. He always sang to his Buenos Aires
and made the whole world sing to it, now he stays in Chacarita singing
again every day, each time doing it better, accompanied by the choir
of voices of a people for whom he has never died. Like one more pilgrim
who constantly returns to Buenos Aires to become saturated of its environment,
of its culture, of its noisy nights. From the middle of the world I
pay a homage to a homeland very dear to me through one of its most representative
figures, a Gardel maker of a deep transformation because with his touching
songs and his unique style he taught the world to love that country
with infinite plains, chosen to some day occupy an important place in
the concert of nations.
