06 Feb 09 - 08:03 PM (#2559611) Subject: Escamillo & Alicia on youtube!! From: katlaughing Oh, these are hysterically fun and SO GOOD!! Thanks to Escamillo/Andres for sending them to me! Alicia is one talented woman, Andres! I can see she must keep you warm at night!**smile** Coppelia (Alicia & Matilde); Simeona (Alicia & Andrés); Turco (Alicia & turkish dancers); Pedantoni (Alicia alone). Here's a little bit of translation Andres sent to me, also: I know that the meaning of the song is important. It is based in word games, because "Tú me has ..." = You have ...(done something)... to me sounds exactly as "Tú meas ... " = You pee .. Below is the translation of Simeona, for those who speak Shakespeare's language ! Turkish dancers: Supposedly they sing in Turkish the popular song Besame Mucho, but the things they say and suggest are really outrageous, and Alicia tries to convince the audience that this is the original lyrics. Minerva Pedantoni: impossible to translate. Minerva is the arch-famous ballet star in complete decline. For example she says "When I danced in Berlin... terrible!! The wall tumbled down !! " Simeona:
Tú me has a veces, vida mÃa, confesado
Que me has seguido, pero nunca me has amado
Tú me has de a poco, retirado tu cariño
Mientras yo me ando entusiasmando como un niño.
Tú me has muy claro demostrado tu desprecio..
Tú me has tan fuerte.. mente herido coqueteando..
Mientras yo me ando por la calle emborrachando !
Ay, Simeona, dime si me quieres, si me amas, si me adoras
Un abrazo |

07 Feb 09 - 09:56 AM (#2559964) Subject: RE: M'Catter Escamillo (Andres) & Alicia on youtube!! From: Escamillo Alice and myself are so happy today ! We have been reading these posts together and loughing aloud. Also feeling the affection that is so evident. Thank you friends, this is very important for us. Monique, you are right, that's another implied joke. There is another one, very subtle: when I say "si me adoras" (if you adore me), it is heard just as "si, meadoras" (yes, you peeing women) Now in preparation: Tropical Lust: the latin mature diva and his latin mature singer/lover Alice Tupper: the prodigious little girl and his black partner Pequeñete : the prodigious little Flamenco singer and the Spanish dancer ... and more to come LMAO! Thanks again, sincerely, un abrazo / Andrés and Alicia |

From: catspaw49 Andres, you have no idea how many times I have deeply regretted my inability to connect with you those years ago in Florida. That trip was awful for me from beginning to end with nothing going the way it should have. I'm glad your reason for being there is no longer needed but I wish it had worked out. On the other hand, I am overjoyed to see the videos!!!! Though it may not have been so awhile back, I can now say you are a man truly blessed. Much Love, Pat |

What this lady has made out of me in these 4 years is a real miracle. And her improvement as an actress was due (a little bit) to me too... Sinsull: This was part of the 2008 season of the (crazy) Ballet 40-90 (because members are 40 to 90 years old), August to November 2008 at the Teatro Empire, Buenos Aires, Argentina (where we are from). Amos, thank you, friend, don't you mind a hug from a mildly wet guy? Lonesome, there's a kiss for you from Alicia (bra strap down) Alice, forgive me, I did what I could, because the director said "no mic" and the hall was large, anyway, I'm happy you liked these crazy things You can watch other videos by this group, just searching "ballet 40-90" Please tell me who has uploaded videos to Youtube, or whether there is an index in Mudcat for videos Un abrazo for all / Andrés |

And I learnt how to search for more videos (because a search in Youtube for the word Mudcat does not bring results). Thanks, Katalina Linda ! |

From: Joe Offer Hi, Andres- I just came across an old conversation we had about your singing a Paul Robeson song - and now I see this! Both of you do very well with comedy, and you have a great voice. I really enjoyed this, although I had expected Robeson. All the best to you. -Joe- |

09 Feb 09 - 04:00 PM (#2562091) Subject: RE: M'Catter Escamillo (Andres) & Alicia on youtube!! From: Escamillo Your memory banks are amazingly efficient, Joe ! I´m so glad you enjoyed these crazy things ! Indeed I keep doing old beauties like Old Man River, Shenandoah, Lazy Bones, etc. but to make a video, the singer needs PRODUCTION, which was already made by professionals for this show. I also participate in one of the most prestigious choral groups (Lagun Onak) with Bs.Aires Philarmonic Orchestra, and the victims are Mozart, Dvorak, Beethoven... I promess I´ll record a CD this year, with Robeson´s songs, as soon as I accept the dictatorship of the sound engineers. If I found one who is not deaf. :)) Thanks for your comments, un abrazo / Andrés |
