Resucita la memoria de aquel mundo que está tan olvidado como el de Romania. Lo citaré cuando, en breve, escribiré de un tango polaco que llegó a la fama mundial como chansón rusa.Studiolumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377777909296284368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-36368011028304593582009-12-08T13:11:28.228+01:002009-12-08T13:11:28.228+01:00Aquí hay un texto sobre el tango en Polobia escrit...<a href="http://www.todotango.com/Spanish/biblioteca/cronicas/tango_en_polonia.asp#Tope" rel="nofollow">Aquí</a> hay un texto sobre el tango en Polobia escrito por un argentino hijo de inmigrantes polacos, quizás te interese (si no lo habías visto ya)<br /><br />Me interesó este párrafo. Intenta explorar el encanto que se sentía por el espíritu melancólico de los tangos y dice:<br /><br />" Creo que cabe mencionar que la mayoría de esos compositores y letristas, nacidos en Polonia y educados como artistas polacos, eran de origen judío y llevaban la carga de muchos años de la ocupación y la influencia rusa. Estas circunstancias pueden tener peso, en alguna medida, en sus elecciones artísticas y en su predilección por las tonalidades nostálgicas de la música.

If they hadn't actually attended the École des Beaux Arts themselves any New York architects would have had an American education that was derived from it; so there was a Paris link.A.J.P.

The new one is other, it is different, and I do not want to influence you by telling in what it is different: but it is equally vivid and exciting, and it has conserved something of its old identity what you can discover both in the city and in some antiquarian bookshops of it.Studiolumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377777909296284368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565845984512808077.post-60855018097069520502009-11-17T20:23:08.266+01:002009-11-17T20:23:08.266+01:00Another great post.

I don't know if I'd want to visit the current version of Bucharest; even though I've never been to the old one, I've read enough descriptions and seen enough pictures that I expect the destruction would haunt me anyway.Languagehathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285708503881129380noreply@blogger.com
