Hoy en día

‘We're not doing well these days, not well at all,’ he said to his friends in the pub. ‘We sent a device the size of a washing machine to a comet, had it collect samples and brought it back to Earth. But we're not able to prevent people from dying every day because they don't have drinking water.’ He paused, took a sip of Fernet and shook his head. ‘No,’ he said, ‘we're not doing well at all.’

      II. Hoy en día

El Cronopio

El Cronopio

"When a cronopio sings, the hopes and the famas come to listen to him, even though they don't understand much of his outburst and are generally somewhat scandalised... But since they are good at heart (the famas are good and the hopes are silly), they end up applauding the cronopio, who recovers with a start, looks around, and also begins to applaud, poor thing." (Historia de cronopios y de famas, Julio Cortázar)

No mires hacia atrás

The ‘tonada’ from Cuyo, with its intimate and tranquil spirit, is one of the most beautiful expressions of Argentine folklore.

      Don't look back...
      When the river grows still, when the sun has set,
      I will continue to dream of you, I will always love you
      For all eternity!
      Don't look back...
