...skinny kid in the white tank top at the keyboard. He counts it off from four, and with a sort of animal ease, his fingers fly, and a montuno rhythm swells through the dented amp, surging until the drummer can't help joining in with the five-beat clave that is the backbone of all music here. And then the camera swings to the timbalero with a pink star dyed into his fade, cracking into the rhythm, and here comes the bass player--whose father and grandfather were famous singers with Orquesta Arag髇--now he's thumping the ones...
...Antes, no ten?amos senadores o gobernadores o congresistas o alcaldes latinos. Ahora s?. ?Cu?l es el pr?ximo desaf?o? ?Los votantes quieren saber ??C?mo arreglamos las escuelas, los parques, el sistema de salud??. Tenemos que buscar soluciones que levanten a nuestro pueblo de los escalones inferiores?. A prop?sito, Gonz?lez fue clave en promover el voto donde los californianos aprobaron m?s de $30 mil millones en bonos escolares desde el 2002, y est? calentando los motores para un iniciativa preescolar...
...Mart?nez es m?s que el primer senador cubanoamericano de los Estados Unidos. Por ser uno de s?lo dos hispanos en el senado de EE.UU.

And this three-CD collection of Piazzolla's American Clave recordings (Tango: Zero Hour, from 1986, The Rough Dancer and the Cyclical Night, from 1987 and La Camorra: La Soledad De La Provocacion Apasionada from 1989; the set is distributed through Cambridge's very own Rounder Records) serves as a beautiful testament to Piazzolla's genius, featuring almost three hours of some of the most haunting, searching, intensely emotional music of this century...
...American Clave recordings showcase every aspect of Piazzolla's brilliance; it is hard to imagine a music lover of any sort who would not immediately fall in love with the erotic sensibility and impassioned brilliance displayed on these albums. By the time you get to the mournful "Sur: Regreso Al Amor," the last track on La Camorra, (a tune which is a perfect illustration of just how much contemporary avant-guard American artists like Tom Waits have drawn from Piazzolla's work) you will have gone on an aural journey with one of the twentieth century's true musical geniuses...
