This week (the third of October) was closed on Contemporary Metropolis program that led, in state-run Radio Faro Cultural five years, the writer Ángel Elias.
Given this news, one wonders why it is often cut off the head of those who eagerly come to the surface to collaborate with others.
It's crazy to prevent the advance of those honored with tenacity make cultural contributions and even spend the money of their own pockets. Angel Elias
more than 250 interviews with musicians, singers, writers, painters, actors, theater directors, in short, many of the most important artists and some foreigners. Elijah
not only did not charge a penny, but also became his own to travel by bus from his native Suburban San Martín Jilotepeque. Many times he was besieged by student and labor commitments, but never went off the air. It was an amateur interested in look at the expense of others, their intentions were not petty, his was pure and simple, yet effective and extremely valuable documentary.
Within 10 or older, who wish to be aware of the task cultural country, should make an obligatory stop in his interviews you will hear the voice of people like Dante Liano, Hadjidodou Tasso, Maria Teresa Martinez, Gustavo Palma Murga, Guillermo Paz Carcamo Nahual Alux members, or the last that came out air: the great painter Miguel Angel Perez. I could go on quoting here hundreds of names.
But on Saturday just past, who we used to tune the program we have a musical segment. He did not even indicated that they would not publish his last interview, which made Jesus Fernandez, Latin American Book, from Asturias, Spain. And he listed nothing more and nothing less than the Chilean Luis Sepulveda ( the author of The Old Man Who Read Love Stories ; Name torero; Pinochet's Folly, etc.)
words , the program expanded. Learned to move elsewhere in the world and oxygenating the slumbering national cultural waves. More
on Monday, when Elijah came to record, the director of Radio Faro, Antonio Juarez, called his office to inform him that his program was closed. The reason? Angel Elijah had been "winning" too much prominence and even seemed that he was "representing Radio Lighthouse."
role "Winning is winning friends? Is being interviewed in the media? Are you bothered that the five-year director of the transfer were concluded by the Cultural Center of Spain.
Win "role is that he was invited to a breakfast by cultural promoters? Is that a threat be appreciated by those artists? Are these the parameters of cultural representation that it considers important the director of an institution as impressive as it is or should be, Radio Faro Cultural? Angel
Elijah deserved more than a finger pointing toward the door. It's embarrassing.
In Guatemala, with the first rains in May, usually spring from the soil to grow new green projects, the land is fertile, cast sheets, but at any moment anyone looks in his truck to let him fall on rocks and trash.
