• Normalcy Begins to Sprout in Egypt

The tanks have moved on from the Four Seasons, and the butcher is doing brisk business. Glimmers of peace descended upon the ancient seaside city of Alexandria, Egypt, on Sunday, nearly two weeks into protests against the 30-year reign of President Hosni Mubarak.

"[Ayre] es de mis obras la que está más cerca mío, la más personal que hice en mi vida", cosa que se evidencia con la potencia con que se expresa. "La potencia tiene mucho que ver con la producción de Gustavo y Aníbal. No sólo la composición es ...
