To the Troesma from the middle of
the world
Gardel
By Alfredo Vera Arrata
He was born in Guayaquil, in 1935. He graduated at
the Facultad de Arquitectura of the Universidad de Guayaquil, he was
professor and Director of the Department of Academic Coordination and
of the Institute of Research of that house of high studies. He published
"Historia de un triste banano"; "Investigación social en la Arquitectura"
and "El lleve de la Perimetral". He worked as journalist and as an active
political leader was alternate deputy for the province of Guayas between
1986 and 1988. Presently he holds the office of minister of Education
in Ecuador.
About tango everything has been said. The most important
peoples in the River Plate and America, have identified the vital values
of this music that overflows time, feelings, passions, tenderness, love...
life itself.
If all is said, what do we intend to do here?
Had it not been because I am listening to "Malena"
on the radio, I should not dare to say something that probably someone
had said before, in his place in the world, or at any moment of this
existence: that while there is a human heart beating, tango will have
a reason to survive.
And if in that tango Carlitos Gardel has something
to do; what else can we ask for?
