wierdest double-header of all time— super hippy multi-tonal “harmonic intervention” in Constituci’on station at friday rush hour (!!!) followed by… Jan Jelinek getting all kinds of power-noise and electro-acoustic at the Goethe Institut (with a sound system that would make Naut Humon jealous, preceding by simul-translated lecture/interview!!! hippy singalong made me miss that part, tho).

stumbled across a music fest on our way out of medellin, all bands from choco and some other western province— the audience, mostly from choco and said province, was overwhelmingly black, and this dance group’s cumbia/tambor bonanza got seriously racial…

katrina insisted we see tango, so we saw the “young and hip” orquestra típica fernandez fierro, which was a spot-on and technically proficient time-capsule reproduction of 40s-era tango (cf. anibal troilo), at a barny space near the abasto on sanchez de bustamante (which i found out the next day i had lived on, 4 blocks south of the space, at ages 1 to 2).

Los Masis spin-off orchestra, led by a veteran Weltmusik player who flatly told us (even before finding out they were Cordobés) that Argentines “son todos unos arrogantes de mierda” 5 minutes into a friendly chat.  WTF?  I didn’t smell even a hint of alcohol to excuse such behavior (although hearing all the cute young singers call him Don Whatever may have something to do with it).

Throwaway's Blog:

I am a latino californian who will spend the first half of 2010 bouncing nomadically between northern california, southern california, new york, and france. Contact me via email if you really must.

Artist's Statement:

Si lo que vemos es todo lo que existe, entonces el cuerpo ,la flor y las aves tropicales, serían la coronación de la vida y no lo son . Son sólo vehículos de las fuerzas que subyacen detrás de las formas ,de la fuerza interior que se conecta con algo intangible , superior o a veces inferior, demoníaca.

Todo ser humano es divino, o tiene esa capacidad en potencia ; esas fuerzas que tallan las formas , que desnudan la esencia en pos de la personalidad o le confieren carácter a una naturaleza silenciosa , son las que intento atrapar con mi cámara.
