  • Astor Piazzolla This Is the Story of Travel, Travail and Triumph in the Life
    Astor Piazzolla This is the story of travel, travail and triumph in the life of an Argentine musician, Astor Pantaléon Piazzolla. His travels were two-fold: across the continents and through many kinds of music. That he was able eventually to combine these musical strands into something new and distinctively his own was his triumph, but it was long-delayed and there were many travails along the way. Argentina’s spectacular 19th century boom had attracted millions of migrants, including Piazzolla’s Italian grandparents. By the time of Piazzolla’s birth in 1921, it was long over, but the rich ethnic mix it created had left a musical legacy. In the brothels of Buenos Aires, the music and dance of Spain, Cuba and Italy had fused with that of the gauchos and Afro- Argentine ex-slaves to create a new dance form, the tango. Its early manifestations were blatantly sexual and reeked too much of the bordello to be tolerated in polite society. But after some refinement in the salons of Paris it emerged in 1912 to sweep the world. Argentina especially went wild for the tango and its quintessential instrument, the bandoneón, an odd form of concertina with a characteristic tone. A public holiday, July 11, was declared Bandoneón Day, and tango cafés, dance halls and cabaret houses sprang up everywhere to cater for every social stratum. Astor’s father, Vincente, was an enthusiastic tanguero and dreamed that his son would become a bandoneonist. His dream came true but hardly in the way he imagined. It was with great reluctance that Vincente took his family away from this lively scene to search for prosperity in New York and it almost proved disastrous for his son.

  • Quinteto Astor Piazzolla – Bio (Revised September 2020)
    Quinteto Astor Piazzolla – Bio (revised September 2020) In 1960, bandoneonist and composer Astor Piazzolla looked for a new instrument to interpret his ideas and put together his first great quintet. It was an unusual group, especially for tango, as it featured bandoneon, violin, electric guitar, piano, and double bass. Part chamber group, part jazz band, but deeply rooted in the spirit and history of tango, the quintet offered Piazzolla a broad range of resources and possibilities that proved critical for his New Tango. A decade later, Piazzolla, always restless and attuned to the musical trends of the time, dissolved the quintet, experimented with other ensembles, and decided to settle for a time in Europe. But in 1978, back in Buenos Aires, he went back to the sound of the quintet, assembling a new group that would stay with him for the next decade. It was a superb group that performed his, by now, classics, and pushed him to create new masterpieces. Piazzolla's death, on July 4, 1992, marked a new stage for his work. From then on, others would have to continue his efforts and champion his music. With that purpose, Laura Escalada Piazzolla, his companion of nearly 20 years, created the Fundación Astor Piazzolla and, in 1998, founded the Quinteto Astor Piazzolla, a repertory group to perform and update the sound of his emblematic ensemble. Creating an ensemble to play Piazzolla is no easy task. Instrumental virtuosity is indispensable — but not enough. This music also demands street wisdom, boldness, and a certain quality that the maestro called "roña" (grime) — the perfection of the imperfect.

In a previous article we have explained in detail the counter-revolutionary aims of this meeting and its purposes to oppose the re¬ volutionary and anti-imperialist struggle of the people. Today we shall dwell only on some aspects of the confused, contradictory and desperate at¬ mosphere, characterizing the revisionist pack on the threshold of a meeting for which the Soviet revisionists have not spared either big propaganda words or numerous material means. The Brezhnev-Kosygin clique has for several years tried through flattery, pressure, fraud and threats, to organize a big revisionist parade that would acclaim its line and recognize it as a supreme guide of the international communist movement*. It has pinned great hopes on this meeting which it has regarded as the promised land. In the first place, 3 being under the constant pressure of the people’s masses and upright communists, because of the incompatibility with its treacherous course of res¬ toration of capitalism at home and of collaboration with imperialism abroad, the revisionist leadership of the Soviet Union is seeking to deceive the Soviet people by telling them that its line cannot but be «Marxist-Leninist», since it has been ap¬ proved also at a large communist meeting which was attended by so many parties.

Good price." The shops and restaurants blast out the best of the new and the old in Western mttsic as Madonna and Kansas mix with Nepali film songs in the sound waves of the nan'ow streets. "Come sit and drink tea with me madam. No? Maa-dam, it is breaking my heart!" a shopkeeper shouts as I pass by. That's me. A regular heart breaker. Welcome to Kathmandu. I am here for fmal arrangements for my visa into Bhutan, the largely unknown Himal Kingdom east of Nepal. Kathmandu seems relatively unchanged since my last Ssit in 1989. The narrow roads vind the same way" I remember. Shops overflow with the same goods; 'Free Tibet' T-shirts, Buddhist tankas delicately painted on canvas with colors from crushed stone, colorful woolen rugs, and silver jewelry inlaid with gem stones. The city itseff overflows with people and transport. Vehicle exhaust is black, thick and tickles the throat. I pity the individual standing behind a lonT when it shakes, grinds and exhales its choking fumes. I notice a number of motorists and pedestrians wearing small pieces of cloth across the nose and mouth, afftxed with string like a surgical mask.

  • Tirana - Durrës Region: Upgrade of the Electricity Transmission Network
    Tirana - Durrës Region: Upgrade of the Electricity Transmission Network Project Financing WBIF Grant TA3-ALB-ENE-01 € 577,000 WBIF Grant WB4-ALB-ENE-01 € 577,605 OST Own Contribution € 5,000,000 KFW Loan € 40,000,000 Total € 46,154,605 Total Grants € 1,154,605 Total Loans € 40,000,000 Project Description This project will enable the construction of a reliable electricity transmission system in Tirana and neighbouring region, towards Durres. Specifically, it will entail: construction a 220 kV double circuit line from SS Tirana 2 to Rrashbull, a new 220/220 kV substation in Rrogozhina as well as power transformer upgrade in SS Rrashbull. construction of a new 220/110 kV substation (SS Tirana 3) with an installed capacity of 120 MVA (Sauk area) and the reinforcement 110 kV Tirana ring. The improvements will reduce electricity losses as well as power cuts, which regularly affect 50% of the region's residents and 30% of its private businesses. Current air pollution caused by the diesel generators used during power outages is also expected to decrease. The WBIF has allocated more than €1,100,000 as EU grant to the preparation of feasibility studies, including preliminary designs, for these two developments. Results and Benefits encourage economic growth in the Tirana area due to better electricity supply and reduced load shedding afford the electricity supply load growth rate which, for Tirana areas, is about 5.8% yearly (average one for the period 2003-2008) normalize supply of unsupplied load which actually for sub-urban areas is about 10-15%
