CARLOS GARDEL "VOLVER" ("To Return") The Carlos Gardel story is told in 29 colorful chapters that are like scenes in a period movie set in the era of tango 1900-1935 in Buenos Aires, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, and New York. It is dedicated to Carlos Gardel, "El Zorzal" (The Songbird of Buenos Aires) who for many of his admirers has become an almost quixotic obsession and who, to this day, is a charismatic hero as popular in Argentina as Evita Peron or Jesus. Out of poverty stricken, immigrant existence Carlos Gardel, the poor "Morocho Del Abasto" (Dark-Eyed Kid from Abasto) became South America's most charismatic interpreter of the tango-cancion, a wildly popular film star, and was crowned the Tango King in Paris in 1930. He was chosen to replace Rudolf Valentino for Paramount when he tragically died in a plane crash in Medellin, Colombia, 1935. This page turning, historic novel gives us new and sensational insight answering the many puzzling questions about the life of Gardel, his motivations, and his music. For example, why and how did the plane crash happen? His liaisons with women? His life long friendship with men? His role in creating the tango-cancion? His involvement with a rich older woman who financed his films? His acting career? And the tragic end as the words of the tangos "Volver" and "Mi Buenos Aires Querido" are fatefully fulfilled as the beloved Carlitos, after the plane crash, returns home to Buenos Aires in a coffin, and more than thirty thousand are in the streets during his funeral. "Mi Buenos Aires querido, cuando yo te vuelva a ver, no habra mas penas ni olvido." (My beloved Buenos Aires when I see you again I will feel no more pain or oblivion.) The riveting account of the life and death of the elusive Gardel is based on countless hours of research. The book also contains more than 30 translations of the most important tango-canciones, from lunfardo (slang of Buenos Aires), which are key to understanding the times and the milieu that created Tango Argentina and the tango-cancion. "It will snow in Buenos Aires before another Gardel is found!" "Cada dia canta mejor!"

In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.

By blending personal memoir and critical analysis, Voices of the Survivors explores cultural and human responses to the violence of political repression and social disintegration perpetrated in Argentina during the so called Dirty War of the late '70s and early '80s. Central to the theoretical and critical corpus is the work of scholars writing in response to the historical trauma of the Holocaust (Adorno, La Capra, Shoshana Felman), which posed questions regarding social trauma, the links between mourning and memory, and the role of artistic creation and its value as testimony. The book traces shifts in discursive formations and social practices critical to understanding the origin and impact of the Process of National Reorganization (as it was known by the military government) through analysis of a broad range of sources, including poetry, fiction, memoirs and testimonies, popular music, and journalism. These texts explore the persistence of issues of memory and mourning within the particular conditions of Argentine culture in the aftermath of the dictatorship. This significant new work will be essential reading for scholars interested in issues of violence, political and cultural disruption, memory, and historical consciousness.

While a feminine perspective has become more common on Latin American stages since the late 1960s, few of the women dramatists who have contributed to this new viewpoint have received scholarly attention. Latin American Women On/In Stages examines twenty-four plays written by women living in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Venezuela. While all of the plays critique the restraints placed on being female, several also offer alternatives that emphasize a broader and healthier range of options. Margo Milleret, using an innovative comparative and thematic approach, highlights similarities in the techniques and formats employed by female playwrights as they challenged both theatrical and social conventions. She argues that these representations of women's lives are important for their creativity and their insights into both the personal and public worlds of Latin America.

"This is a gripping and heartrending recollection of the harrowing brink-of-death experience that propelled survivor Roberto Canessa to become one of the world's leading pediatric cardiologists.

This fine line between life and death became the catalyst for the rest of his life. This uplifting tale of hope and determination, solidarity and ingenuity gives vivid insight into a world famous story. Canessa also draws a unique and fascinating parallel between his work as a doctor performing arduous heart surgeries on infants and unborn babies and the difficult life-changing decisions he was forced to make in the Andes."--Provided by publisher.

After moving to Argentina on a whim, Brian Winter, a young American reporter, embarks on a crusade to learn that devilishly difficult dance that demands both discipline and passion: the tango. While he dances the night away in the milongas with the fiery denizens of Buenos Aires, the country around them collapses, gripped by inflation, street riots, and revolution. In a book that is part travelogue and part history, the author evokes his immersion in a dark underworld. He visits old dance salons, brothels, and shacks on the dusty Pampa, searching for the tango's shady origins in the hope that understanding may help him dance better. Along the way, he discovers that the tango, with its tales of jealousy, melodrama, and lost glory, may hold the secret to the country that is inexplicably disintegrating before his eyes.

The tango is easily the most iconic dance of the last century, its images as familiar as an old friend. But are they the whole story?

Drawing on direct experience and conversations with dancers, it reveals much about the role of the tango in Argentinean culture.

Tango music rapidly became a global phenomenon as early as the beginning of the twentieth century, with about 30% of gramophone records made between 1903 and 1910 devoted to it. Its popularity declined between the 1950s and the 1980s but has since risen to new heights. This Companion offers twenty chapters from varying perspectives around music, dance, poetry, and interdisciplinary studies, including numerous visual and audio illustrations in print and on the accompanying webpages. Its multidisciplinary approach demonstrates how different disciplines intersect through performative, historical, ethnographic, sociological, political, and anthropological perspectives. These thematic continuities illuminate diverse international perspectives and highlight how the art form flourished in Argentina, Uruguay and abroad, while tracing its international and cultural impact over the last century. This book is an innovative resource for scholars and students of tango music, particularly those seeking a diverse international perspective on the subject.
