I decided to wwebcast today
because the recent developments worldwide. And that’s the reason why I’m not in
the roof but my newsroom.
On September 8th, EDT,
Queen Elizabeth II passed away in Scotland. She was 96 years old. She led the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland for 70 years. For the
people who don’t know, that’s the official name of the UK.
Figure out what a portion of
history we’re talking about. While I’m webcasting this to you, funerals are
going on.
Charles III is the new British
king. Taking apart the controversies, we can’t deny late Elizabbeth II has been
one of the most prominent icons of the second half of 20th century. Obviously,
what is running of 21st century too. Maybe you disagree monarchy,
but the historic fact is so.
It wasn’t the only lose on
September 8th. Here in Latin America, Argentinians aare mourning.
Marciano Cantero, lead vocal
of Los Enanitos Verdes, passed away just on 8th. He suffered from a
kidney condition, according to sources.
Maybe Los enanitos Verdes
doesn’t mean anything to you. But in Latin American context, we are talking
about one of the most representative bands of Latin American Rock. They were
part of the so called Argentinian Wave. Soda Stereo, GIT, Fito Paez, or Charly
Garcia are part of that. Their hegemony flooded our ears in the 1980s. It
continued beginning 1990s.
You can get all them on your
favorite streaming platform. Inclusive, there are documentaries you can’t miss.
If you don’t know how to spell all these names in Spanish, just leave me a
comment on this video. I will help you about. Or if you are watching me on
Facebook, and you prefer some discretion, get me on the chat.
On Sunday, when we usually
connect, there’s another commemoration. Yes,the 9/11. On
September 11th, 2001, four planes were hhijacked in East Coast
airports. Two were crashed into the Twin Towers in New York. Other ccrashed the
outer section of the Pentagon in Washington DC. The fourth one is belief the
passengers took control and crashed at Pennsylvania countryside. It’s not clear
what its target was.
For the people over 30 around
the globe, this memory is still alive like it happened yesterday. For the
youngest, YouTube still holds the full live broadcasts. So you can follow the
facts are as they happened, or at least, as they were informed.
In Latin American context,
that same day but in 1973, Chile’s President Salvador Allende died during a
coup. It was led by Augusto Pinochet, who became a dictator until 1990. Recently,
onSunday 4th, Chile vboted to change the Constitution promoted and
approved by Pinochet. The new version was disapproved by 61% of voters.
September seems to be a
historic month, doesn’t it? I think all those facts must move us to reflection.
Are we letting others write that history? Are we writing it? What’s your position?
What I have clear is as the
history is happening, I’m going to report it as possible and right as I can. That’s
my job.
By the way, I talked you
about music on this video. So I want to invite you to go to factortierra.blogspot.com
There’s a pretty story about for guys in Piura who joined to make polyphonic
music.
Finally, about September,

me know in the comments box just on this video.
Meanwhile, I thank all the
people who joined me until this right moment. Let mme know what other issues
you are interested to discuss.
