Wait a minute Shakira....
I don't understand why colombians like Shakira and Gabo Garcia Marquez are considered as "true colombians" even though when Shakira comes to Colombia once every five years (if lucky) and Gabo's homesickness and love for Colombia are only portrayed in his novels... cause he lives in Mexico and his kids are mexican.
Now I learned that Shakira along with other artists will perform the Live 8 latinamerican version in cities like New York, Madrid, and in only two latinamerican cities... Mexico City and Buenos Aires.... and my question is what about Colombia?
In Mexico will perform in one night Shakira, U2, Alejandro Sanz and Ricardo Arjona...
In Buenos Aires: Mana, Gustavo Cerati among others...
Don't understand why the hell Shakira and the honorary-president of the ALAS foundation Nobel Prize of Literature, Gabriel García Márquez did not include Bogota or another colombian city for a show like this...
Don't get it.... sad

NataliaV says on Jan 5, 2008, 06:31: From my understanding many Colombians living in Colombia do not like Shakira because of the prices she charges for tickets to her concert. The complaint is that in her home country she charges just as much as we pay here in the US to see her, while Juanes among others do free concerts often in their home country.

gabolicious says on Jan 5, 2008, 08:03: chorizo... did you know that Gabriel Garcia Marquez lives 30 mins from facultad de filosofia y letras in Mexico city? and that he likes to walk among literature students in Mexico? (I tell you this because I've seen him) that also happens in Colombia? I don't think so! did you know that he has like 5 homes in Mexico (2 in Mexico city, one in Cuernavaca, and the other 2 in the beach area) and that Gabo is always organizing open-to-public-cultural debates in Mexico but very few in Colombia, why is that? if he loves so much Colombia?

de pronto says on Jan 5, 2008, 08:57: Yo no sé las razones de su elección de vivir en México, pero esas razones son válidas únicamente para el mismo Gabriel García Márquez y para nadie más, lo que sí creo es que siendo un escritor de su importancia, y muy a su pesar "un muñequito del consumismo" (según lo ha dicho), personas como él ya son parte digamos del "acervo cultural de la humanidad" por muy tonto que sea. ... y viaje a Macondo todo pagado 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
