Hailing from Buenos Aires, Argentina, Juana Molina
is an extraordinary singer / songwriter / producer with
a remarkable tale to tell. Molina will be performing in
New York City as part of the January 8, 2005 13-artist globalFEST,
an event open to the public and scheduled to coincide with
the annual Arts Presenters conference. The event--now in
its second year--is a springboard for international performers
who often get booked by the 200 plus concert presenters
who attend the festival. Presenters and festivals from all
over the country attend to find established and up-and-coming
world music performers, which can lead to touring opportunities
for the following year and beyond.
Formerly a celebrated Argentinean comic with her own successful
TV show, Segundo (Domino Records) is her second album, and
the first to be heard outside her home country. Turning
her back on her previous career, Juana?s music flows from
her acoustic guitar, off-kilter electronic sounds and rhythms
and a vast, strangely comforting plethora of noises from
flora and fauna, while her voice is soothing and mesmeric.
Segundo is a wonderful album bubbling with joy and underpinned
by gentle grace. Read more here.
Juana Molina in NY Times Top Ten of 2004
Last Sunday the New York Times music critic Jon Pareles
picked Juana Molina's latest album for his Top 10 CDs of
2004: http://nytimes.com/2004/12/26/arts/music/26pare.html
"6. Juana Molina, 'Tres Cosas' (Domino) This whispery
album is the latest invitation into the reveries of the
Argentine songwriter Juana Molina. It's built from her acoustic
guitar picking, her hushed voice, melodies with the simplicity
of lullabies and rustling, rippling, melting synthesizer
backdrops that fill the songs with mystery."

Lost Embrace
(El Abrazo Partido)
Wednesday, January 12,
6:00 PM
On opening day of the New York Jewish Film Festival (NYJFF)
Argentine filmmaker Daniel Burman's Lost Embrace will have
its New York premiere. Lost Embrace was winner of the Jury
Grand Prix-Silver Bear and the Silver Bear for Best Actor
(Daniel Hendler) at the 2004 Berlin International Film Festival.
Handsome slacker Ariel works in his mother's lingerie shop
in a Buenos Aires shopping mall. Their friends and neighbors
comprise a colorful, bustling community of Latin American,
European, Asian, and Jewish immigrants, each with a singular
story and a shop full of goods for sale. The discovery of
deep family secrets inspires Ariel to reexamine his strong
immigrant roots and his relationships with his Polish songstress
grandmother, his seductive older mistress, and his long-absentee
father.
Daniel Burman, who also directed Waiting for the Messiah,
shown at the 2002 NYJFF, will be present on January 12 to
answer questions.
Featuring three world, five U.S., and eight N.Y. premieres,
the NYJFF will present 29 productions illuminating the rich
diversity of the world-wide Jewish experience in locales
ranging from Central Park to Paris, Tel Aviv to Uzbekistan.
The NYJFF lineup includes films made in nine countries:
features and shorts, dramas, comedies, and documentaries
created by both emerging and established filmmakers.
The NYJFF thanks the Consulate General of Argentina and
New Yorker films.
Lost Embrace, like most NYJFF films, will be screened at
The Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center
165 West 65 Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue,
plaza level.

violin; Nestor Marconi, bandoneon;
Pablo Aslan, double bass; Satoshi, prcussion; and Lalo
Schifrin, piano
APRIL 17 & 19 AT ALICE TULLY HALL
FINAL CONCERTS OF 2004-2005 SEASON
The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center offers
the final concerts
of its 2004-2005 season Sunday, April 17 at 5pm, and
Tuesday, April 19
at 7:30pm. The program presents the world premiere of
Lalo Schifrin's
Letters from Argentina (CMS co-commission), written
for, and performed
by, clarinetist David Shifrin; with Cho-Liang Lin, violin;
Nestor
Marconi, bandoneón; Pablo Aslan, double bass;
Satoshi Takeishi,
percussion; and Lalo Schifrin, piano.
Lalo Schifrin, born in Buenos Aires in 1932, has enjoyed
a long career
as a composer, conductor, and pianist. Following his
schooling in his
native Argentina and at the Paris Conservatoire, he
began a career
in jazz performance and composition that continues to
this day. Over
the years, his style broadened considerably, especially
after he
established himself in the United States in 1958, and
today it is
recognized as embracing not only jazz, but also "classical"
concert works that synthesize a variety of traditional
and modernist techniques. Schifrin has composed more
than a
hundred scores for film and television - Mission Impossible,
Cool Hand
Luke, and Dirty Harry, among them - and has received
four Grammy
awards. In addition to Letters from Argentina, recent
commissions
include Fantasy for Screenplay and Orchestra, for Daniel
Barenboim
and the Chicago Symphony, and Triple Concerto for Clarinet,
Viola,
Piano, and Orchestra, composed for the Halcyon Trio
and premiered
with the New Jersey Symphony.
Schifrin writes of his Letters from Argentina, "Like
the clear sky,
like the rain, like the clouds, music has always been
part of the
Argentinean atmosphere, ever present in the literature,
in the
visual arts, and in thehistory of the country. The strumming
of
the Gauchos' guitars, therhythms of the Indian drums,
the
expressive melodies of the bandoneónwere the
aural media
with which I grew up. Tangos coming from radios,
folk music sung and danced in festivities, milongas
and candombes
celebrating Mardi Gras surrounded my childhood in Buenos
Aires."
Joining CMS Artist Members clarinetist David Shifrin
and violinist
Cho-Liang Lin on this program are guest artists Pablo
Aslan,
Nestor Marconi, and Satoshi Takeishi. Argentinean born
bassist
Pablo Aslan is recognized as one of the leading figures
in the
tango revival. He directs Avantango, atango-jazz ensemble
featuring New York based Argentinean musicians and dancers,
and has performed and recorded with Yo-Yo Ma, Wynton
Marsalis, Shakira, and the New World Symphony, among
many others.Nestor Marconi is considered one of the
leading
bandoneón players in the world. Early in his
career, he worked
with such artists as Horacio Salgan, Astor Piazzola,
and
Hector Stamponi. In the 1990s, he became established
on the
international classical music circuit, performing bandoneón
and
orchestra works as a soloist, and in 1997 toured with
Yo-Yo Ma and
Friends. Drummer Satoshi Takeishi was born in Mito,
Japan in 1962, and
came to the U.S. in 1981 to attend the Berklee College
of Music in
Boston. He later moved to Colombia to study Latin American
music;
a period which proved fruitful, leading to performances
and recordings
with many leading Latin musicians, including flutist
Nestor Torres,
and the Elaine Elias Trio.

On the other side of town, Don Justo, proprietor of Fitz
Roy's popular grocery store, California, has just discovered
that his long-lost friend Badface has surfaced, alive and
well, in San Julián. Hoping to resolve some unfinished
business with Badface, Don Justo hits the road, thumb raised,
trusting that one of the truckers he's met trough the years

helping beautiful women slip in and out of lingerie can
be, the shopkeepers' tales have grown stale; dressing-room
trysts with sexy vixen Rita can't go on forever; and Estela,
his now pregnant ex-girlfriend, no longer needs him. Hoping
to secure a European passport, which will allow him to travel
the world, Ariel seeks a more fulfilling life. But before
his new life can begin, Ariel first has to shake a head-spinning

CICLO
DE LEONARDO FAVIO/ A SERIES OF LEONARDO FAVIO
Noviembre 2005/ November 2005
Series
presented by Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales.
Entrada libre y asientos limitados/Free Admission.
Due to limited seating, seats are available on at first
arrived, first seated basis.
Con
más de cuarenta años de trayectoria,
Leonardo Favio es uno de los directores más
relevantes del cine argentino y latinoamericano.
Nacido hace setenta años en Mendoza,
Argentina, Favio también es inmensamente
popular en América Latina como cantante
y actor, lo que completa el perfil de uno de
los artistas más prolíficos de
la Argentina. Favio comenzó su carrera
como actor bajo el mando del legendario director
Leopoldo Torres Nilson. En 1965 dirigió
su primera película, "Crónica
de Un Niño Solo", primera parte
de una trilogía informal que incluyó
"El Dependiente" y "El Romance
del Aniceto y la Francisca". En los años
'70, Favio dirigió algunos de sus éxitos
más relevantes, entre los que se destacan
"Juan Moreira" y "Nazareno Cruz
y el Lobo". Si el primer tramo de su trayectoria
mostraba a un director intimista, la segunda
parte estuvo influenciada por un mayor interés
y compromiso de Favio con el peronismo, la lucha
política en la Argentina y los íconos
del país. La dictadura militar de 1976
lo obligó a exiliarse en México
y Colombia. De regreso en la Argentina, filmó
"Gatica, el Mono", una obra culminante
de su trayectoria y de su reflexión sobre
los personajes populares argentinos.
El
fruto último de esas décadas de
trabajo en las que se cruzan la cultura popular
y la política es "Perón,
Sinfonía del Sentimiento", un documental
de seis horas sobre la historia argentina de
posguerra en torno a la vida del general Juan
Domingo Perón. El documental no pasó
por la televisión, salió directamente
en video y en la Argentina es uno de los mas
vendidos de todos los tiempos. Actualmente,
trabaja en la preproducción de su próxima
película "Aniceto", ballet
cinematográfico que comenzará
a rodarse a comienzos de 2006. Recientemente,
un centenar de realizadores, actores, guionistas,
productores y críticos lo eligieron el
mejor director de la historia del cine argentino.
PROGRAMA/PROGRAM
Miércoles
2, 18:00hs./Wednesday 2, 6 pm. Crónica de un niño solo/Chronicle
of a Lonely Child. Leonardo Favio; 1965; 70m;
español con subtítulos en inglés/English
subtitles. Comedia Dramática/Drama.
Diego Puente, Tino Pascali, Oscar Espínola,
Leonardo Favio y Hugo Arana.
Basada en la propia infancia de Favio, Polín
es un chico que logra fugarse del asilo en el que
se encuentra abandonado para descubrir la agresividad
e indiferencia de la sociedad. Based on Favio's chillhood, Polín is
a child submerged to his fate and incomprehension.
He runs away from the children's home and discovers
a world of aggressiveness and indifference.
Miércoles
9, 18:00hs./Wednesday 9, 6 pm. Juan Moreira. Leonardo Favio; 1972; 105m; español
con subtítulos en inglés/English
subtitles. Aventura Dramática/Drama
adventure. Eduardo Rudy, Olivera Garcés, Edgardo
Suárez, Alba Mujica, Jorge Villalba, Pablo
Cumo, Elena Titek y Carlos Muñoz.
El film es una de las descripciones mas precisas de
la vida del Gaucho argentino en la segunda mitad del
Siglo XIX. Después de ser encarcelado por reclamar
lo que le corresponde, Juan Moreira hace justicia
por mano propia y comienza a ser perseguido. En la
descripción de su fuga, Favio retrata los principales
personajes de una época marcada por la expansión
de las fronteras: los distintos bandos del ejército
conducidos por Alsina y Mitre, y los políticos
que instalan sus aparatos partidarios. Moreira construye
su propio destino al margen de la ley y en soledad.
Librado a su suerte en medio de las luchas políticas
del momento, sólo le queda la opción
de la muerte. Juan Moreira is sent to prison for claiming
for his own rights. When set free, he decides to do
justice and this marks his future. He is chased and
many people die. He enlists on the troops of Alsina
and accepts the "committee policies". After
being betrayed, he joins General Mitre. In the middle
of political fights, fraud and betrayal, his only
escape is death.
Viernes
18, 18:00hs./Friday 18, 6 pm. Nazareno Cruz y el lobo/Nazareno Cruz
and the Wolf. Leonardo Favio; 1975; 92m; español
con subtítulos en inglés/ English
subtitles. Comedia Dramática/Drama.
Juan José Camero, Marina Magali, Lautaro Murúa,
Nora Cullen y Alfredo Alcón.
El film se basa en la telenovela de Juan Carlos Chiappe
para reinventar la leyenda popular del séptimo
hijo varón que se transforma en lobo en las
noches de luna llena. El romance celestial de Nazareno
y Griselda se altera cuando el Diablo le ofrece a
Nazareno poderes eternos a cambio de abandonar a su
amada. En juego con el género de la novela
latinoamericana, Nazareno Cruz fue en su momento la
película mas vista de la historia argentina. The boy grows up and falls in love with a beautiful
girl, Griselda. When he is 20 years old, he is visited
by the Devil, who offers him the wealth of the world
if he will turn his back on his love for Griselda,
and if he fails to do this, he will become a wolf.
Miércoles

1993; 136 m; español con subtítulos
en inglés/ English subtitles.
Drama/Drama. Edgardo Nieva, Horacio
Taicher, Eva Gatica y Virginia Inoccenti.
Ascenso y caída de José María
Gatica, uno de los boxeadores mas populares de la
argentina. La vida de Gatica le permite a Favio describir
la Argentina de los años '50, durante el primer
gobierno peronista, a través de la relación
del boxeador con Perón, pero también
en los costos de su enorme popularidad. The rise and fall of José María
Gatica, Argentine boxer, controversial and legendary.
The film presents a vision of Argentina during the
first peronist government through the depiction of
the emerging, peak and downfall of the boxer and popular
idol José María Gatica.
