Melancolía De Una Ciudad Perdida - In Concert

www.joseignaciodiazgravier.com


No doubt, most of us walk through life with what I kindly refer to as "unresolvitudeness," or better said, the act of living with unresolved issues and unfinished projects. It is factual, with this malaise comes the  day to day to-do list, the evil protagonist to a forever morphing process; we navigate, eliminate, add and forge our own course of action and or inaction.  I bow down to anyone that can avoid falling prey to this villain for they are truly finely favored. Kudos to you where ever and who ever you may be!

I surrender! I confess!  I suffer from the challenge of "unresolvitudeness." 
 
Never the less, I have epic news and it comes in the form of a Concert Tour coupled with some added 'Cubaneo': (un estado de animo, a mood, a temperament, what used to be called a National Character)  And, this is a topic to be pursued under separate cover one day!
 
For now, allow me to introduce:   


This travelling bundle of cultural 'Cubanness' will cotton into the Concert tour, The Tour CD, posters, a book launching entitled "El Balserito - The Little Rafter." A project that was birthed years ago and is making a revival -illustrated and researched by yours truly in conjunction with my good friend and prolific writer Marta Gutierrez-Steinkamp as well as a visual exhibit of "artes plasticas' penned by this Cubanita.


 

I am exhorting a personal challenge to Mr. 'Unresolvitudeness' and intend to beat him at his own game...

Please follow me as I collate this adventure and bring it to 'fruition' - the antithesis to 'unresolvitudeness!"




Buen Camino!

  1. Unresolvitudeness (noun). The state of being characterized by: "should of, would of, could of... but didn't." You say what others are afraid even to acknowledge.

    That aside, there is so much culture crammed into this post that it is bursting at the seams. Mr. Diaz is quite an accomplished musician. We've had the pleasure of witnessing him perform, and the Syndicate wishes him the very best in his endeavors.

    Further, the sample text and artwork you have shared from "El Balserito - The Little Rafter" is top-notch. The illustration on the page you've shown us is as complex and intricate as a Byzantine mural, yet approachable, not at all esoteric. We can't wait to get our hands on copies when they go to print. See you in the bookstore!
