Extinción

No quería dejar pasar este día sin recordar a una mas de nuestras especies autóctonas amenazadas por el avance del hombre. El pájaro semblée, o pájaro trucho dulce, habitante de la provincia de Perón. Alimentado básicamente de panes de centeno.
Sus costumbres lo hacen migrar buscando las estaciones cálidas volando de Sur a Norte, y cuando quiere regresar, lo hace de Norte a Sur.
Aquí, una de las pocas imágenes de ésta especie.

American Idols!!! 4

Pocho 'The Panther'
From canillita to champion it is the metaphor that better defines the race of Pocho the Panther. Several times it enjoyed the success and the uncontrol, other so many bit the canvas and it was shown to the abyss. Of profession cuartetero, Pocho is a machine to count fabulous histories, always ready to return to begin. The bad tongs say that his name is Ernesto Gauna, but nobody believes it too much. Cordoban by adoption, in last December fulfilled twenty years of trajectory like Pocho the Panther, but he has been three decades like singer at least. “I was Always an innovator, a point of the spear, a transgressor - it comments of entrance. I sang tangos, zambas, folclore, did rocanrol. Now I am going to do music hall in one bailanta, and chose San Martin because as town gave bread me, ceiling and came. Average mystic after a rare approach to Jesus who took it to study theology to Australia but that he does not prevent him to enjoy the life; enemy of another heavy weight of cumbia whose name prefers to avoid (although later it forgets and it names it in each short while), Pocho is an incomparable, popular personage in the total sense of the expression, charismatic and a fascinating narrator of its own fates. I was born by chance in Capital means, I grew up just a little bit in each part of Argentina because to my old one they transferred it, but belong to Cordoba, I I feel like Cordoban. In Cordoba I also passed most unfortunate the moments happiest and: there my papa died, I gained my first festival of folkloric song, I had my there first fiancèes, my first fights, my first friends of the childhood”. With a masterful, admiring father of Walt Whitman, and a dancing mother and speaker of radio, the childhood of Pocho was marked by music from the beginning: “Or to the four or five years my old one made me sing in the celebrations of the school. I did not have time to think, I learned because my old one taught to touch the guitar to me. By house they walked Atahualpa Yupanqui, Eduardo Falú, Daisy Palaces, my old one she was dancer of elenco of the Chúcaro, was actress, much comedy, for that reason I it took very I enter in the heart the comedian.

Place that occurred the possibility him of gaining its first golden record. Soon those would come from platinum, double platinum and until the unattainable triple platinum disc. It was at that time that was reforming and transforming the band that accompanied it, into a musical and humanly solid group, of which one feels proud. Already in February of 1999, with thirteen published discs, and more than 22 years of profession, felt the desire to change of life, of trips, hotels and scenes by calmer and convinced that all their yearnings as singing completely were satisfied, I communicate to him to the authorities of the seal for which I record his I complete work that retired.
