The Gonzo Daily: Monday/Tuesday

http://www.gonzomultimedia.co.uk/about.html

Nineteen odd years ago I was in Mexico with Graham and a crew from UK Channel 4. We were about half way through our adventure when we drove through the outskirts of Puebla and stopped for supplies. We also bought a cassette of an album called Guitarra Negra (the black guitar) by a bloke called Alfredo Zitarrosa. It became the soundtrack for our Mexican adventure, and when—a few days before we left the country—I was in Mexico city buying presents for the folk back home, and saw a copy on CD, I cought it, and have it still.

Now, therein lies a tale. Back in Puebla when we first got the cassette, Gina our interpreter told us the tragic tale of the singer. Apparently was a Uruguayan singer-songwriter, poet and journalist. He specialized in Uruguayan and Argentinean folk genres such as zamba and milonga, and he became a chief figure in the nueva canción movement in his country and I remember Gina telling me in her delightfully sexy broken English, that Zitarrosa had been murdered “by those fukking peegs” because of his political activities, and that is the story that I have repeated whenever the subject has come up, for the last nineteen years. It added an extra poignancy to the brooding melancholy of his glorious voice, and the sweeping but sparse arrangements consisting of two acoustic guitars, each recorded at different ends of the stereo spectrum. Plus an occasional (and ever so slightly out of tune) string quartet. Whenever I hear the music, I think of the beautiful vistas of the Puebla desert with Popocatepetl brooding angrily against the smokey horizon.

Now, I am sure that I looked up the story of Alfredo on t’internet, and I am sure I remember that it confirmed Gina’s story. Now, fast forward to this morning. I was having a jolly exchange of emails with our very own Alan Dearling about music that I thought he would like and I mentioned Zitarrosa. But, because I am a lazy sod, I decided to cut and paste the story of his death from Wikipedia.

And guess what?

I couldn’t find it. All the websites I could find merely bemoaned his untimely death. And eventually found an Argentine website which contained an obituary of the singer from back in the day. Using Google Translate, I discovered that it read: “According to the doctor Zitarrosa suffered Sunday a massive small intestine infarction of venous origin that managed to recover despite being operated on and died today due to intestinal cause peritonitis.”

The story turns out to have been tragic, but not nearly as tragic as what I thought had happened. So, we are left with the following conclusions:

1 I got it wrong all along

2 I believed Gina’s story and false memory syndrome did the rest

3 Someone, somewhere is playing silly buggers and rewriting history (presumably for political reasons)

4 Somehow I have been hopping from universe to universe on some sort of quantum level

5 None of the above

6 All of the above

I have absolutely no idea which of those is the correct answer. But it provides a nice little mystery for the start of the week.

And now, here is the news:
