Until a few years ago, documentaries did not make it to class A film festivals, such as Cannes, Venice or Berlin. They were like a niche. But since then Bowling for Columbine: a country in arms it won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and the Oscar for best documentary – by the way, does anyone know what its director is up to? Michael Moore?-, non-fiction works are usually in programs and also in official competitions.
Here’s why it shouldn’t have been so surprising Dahomey compete for the Golden Bear this year in Berlin. And, looking at Mati Diop’s film, it’s no surprise that she won it.
Before streaming on MUBI, this film premiered in some Argentine theaters.
Dahomey tells how, in 2021, 26 archaeological pieces, royal treasures of the Kingdom of Dahomey, were returned from museums in Paris to their place of origin, the Republic of Benin, in West Africa.
But what really matters is the reclamation, the settling of accounts against colonialism which has appropriated not only these 26 pieces, but almost 7,000…
It was when, around 1892, French troops confiscated these treasures after the outbreak of war with the Kingdom of Dahomey.
The French Diop, already awarded for her debut film,Atlanticat Cannes 2019, gives a twist to the narrative, which can seem new or ridiculous, depending on the viewer’s tastes. Gives voice to one of the objects. It is a statue carved in wood and metal, with a hoarse voice, which tells us about his transfer and what followed. As if it were a “real” ghost. And the director, at times, even tells the documentary from the point of view of the statue: so, from inside, we “see” how they lock us in a wooden box.
Bugs that may not be fixable
The statue is known as “26,” as each of the treasures is numbered. And we see how the “mistake” is repaired, with the white French keeping it in the box, which is opened and handled by black workers in Benin…
And if what mattered was the claim itself, what can we say about the debate in the community that hosts the relics? The positions of the many young people who took part in the heated meeting were very dissimilar. There are those who look at the return with optimism, but are confronted with those who assure that the damage to their culture is irreparable, even more so when it is not known when, if ever, the almost 7,000 treasures still preserved will be returned. French territory.
Diop, with his camera, does not judge but accompanies and observes. And the film ends up opening up, encouraging dialogue and warning or questioning us about our identity, or how colonialism affects the future inhabitants of the now free lands.
“Dahomey”
Documentary Benin / France / Senegal, 2024. 68′, Suitable for all audiences. From: Mati Diop. With: Gildas Adannou, Morias Agbessi, Maryline Agbossi. Rooms: Sala Leopoldo Lugones and Cinema Arte Cacodelphia.
6- Are there dollars missing? Does Milei’s plan hold up?
“It doesn’t matter what the President thinks, but what the market thinks and whether he manages to break the government’s arm. It is said that dollars are missing. But is it so? For next year the government needs maturities of 11,808 million dollars. The reserve accumulation we estimate amounts to $15,000 million. Where will they come from? From the mattress, from the RIGI, from the current account, from the capital market. It doesn’t matter where they come from because it will depend on whether people want pesos or not. If people want pesos it’s because the business is growing and that will determine whether it explodes or not. “I could be completely wrong, but to be wrong you have to change the current program.”

Daniel Artana: “A higher exchange rate is better for a phase like the current one”
Ricardo Arriazu AND Daniele Artana This was discussed yesterday in a meeting organized by Grupo Clarín on the economic challenges for 2025. Artana, Fiel’s chief economist, said he was optimistic about the government’s room for maneuver in an election year. “We are accustomed to distrusting public policy that has always been associated with fiscal disorder. I believe the local government will adapt. What if we Dollarized a little ahead of the election year? Well, this will impact the gap and fewer reserves will be accumulated. “I don’t see everything falling like a house of cards.”. However, he warned that this would happen “From an economy where the ability to generate dollars depends on lobbying to a regulated economy, this implies a transition that would perhaps be better achieved with a higher real exchange rate because large companies might be able to adapt to this economy, but an SME in the Non-suburban sector.”
River he’s destined for an epic comeback next the defeat suffered against Atlético Mineiro in Belo Horizonte by 3 to 0. They must win by the same difference to force penalties or by four distances to qualify for the final without the need to define by twelve passes. It’s all or nothing.
The only history of defeats by three goals difference in the first leg dates back to Marcelo Gallardo’s first cycle. There are three of them and only in one of them he managed to get through the series and advance to the next round.. It happened in the quarterfinals of the 2017 Copa Libertadores, when they lost by that score against Jorge Wilstermann in Bolivia and In the rematch at Monumental he scored 8 goals.
There was another comeback that could not be achieved due to the away goal. It was for the 2019 League Cup quarter-finals. Atlético Tucumán beat 3-0 in their own stadium and won 4-1 at Monumental Riverin one of the best games of the first cycle of Doll. However, due to the double goal rule on someone else’s field, the Tucumán team passed.
And the next one occurred in the 2020 edition of the Libertadores. In the semi-final against Palmeiras, they lost 3-0 in the first leg at Independientewhere they played at home and in the return match they won 2-0 and were on the verge of an epic. Worth mentioning is the intervention of VAR to cancel a goal by Gonzalo Montiel due to an advanced position of millimeters by Rafael Borré at the beginning of the action.
Subsequently, both in the Muñeco cycle and in the rest of River’s history, there have been other comebacks but with a difference of one or two goals.
In the Gallardo era we remember the one that overthrew Cruzeiro in the quarterfinals of the 2015 Libertadores (0-1 in the first leg and 3-0 in the second leg); that of Gremio in the semi-finals of the 2018 Cup (0-1 in the first leg and 2-1 in the return, favored by away goals) and that of the final of the 2019 Recopa Sudamericana against Atlético Paranaense (0-1 and 3-0) .
If you take this year’s matches, the data is not very encouraging. Of the 47 games played in 2024, River have won by a difference of three or more goals in just 6. And of the last 23 games, he did so in only one: September 13 against Atlético Tucumán, 4 to 1 and with Gallardo as coach.
Even winning by three goals on Tuesday does not guarantee qualification, because in that case it will have to be decided on penalties. And lately River hasn’t been doing well from the 12 steps. In fact, it was in the last six definitions he had.
These issues aside, River will look to defy the statistics and break the matrix to leave a new mark in history.
If there is anyone who currently perfectly represents the concept of modern bluesman is the artist known as Fantastic negrito.
Beyond a colorful and attitude-rich musical offering that combines distorted blues with funk, rock and soul, He is an extremely attractive character thanks to his life story. Almost to quote a few key words from his story, we can say that he was born in a radically Muslim home, then earned a living by selling drugs, failed a contract with a multinational and then fell into a coma after a very serious accident. on public roads and has been able to reincarnate into what it is today, a point of reference of its kind.
To give a new twist to an agenda full of international concerts, the charismatic Massachusetts-born singer will return to Buenos Aires to perform at Saturday 26th at the Vorterix Theater October, where he will present his brand new album Son of a broken man. Tickets are obtained from the system All access and the show will have rocker Walter Domínguez as a guest.
The South American connection
In a short break from his frenetic activity, the singer gets busy Clarion with that privileged voice for singing and captivating for telling stories.
-Your show at La Trastienda five years ago was unforgettable. What are your memories of that visit to Buenos Aires?
-My memories of there are always warm and welcoming. People connect incredibly with music and other ways of life. Also the beauty and architecture of the city, wow, amazing!
-Your first mention in South American media was in an Argentine music blog after winning the Tiny Desk award in 2015. How important was it for you to get that recognition almost 10 years ago?
-Well, “recognition” is a word I prefer to keep a distance from, I like “connection” more in this sense. Because music is made to connect us as human beings as we are. And being able to have that connection is amazing because it fundamentally defines the reason for existence. I mean, it means everything to me, but connection, not recognition.
-Why do you think black roots music connects so well with South American audiences?
-I believe that people who open their hearts and minds and have the will to live, not simply exist, find a deep sense of belonging in the music that comes from struggle. This happens in South America, in Italy, in France, people live surrounded by art and a great desire to enjoy life. They wanna try something, man! Something. Love, hate. pain, joy, they want to feel it.
A Muslim bluesman
-You grew up in a Muslim family, how were your first approaches to music?
-I didn’t have a conscious approach to music, but rather it was music that approached me. I like not knowing what the hell is going on, and when I don’t know what I’m listening to is when I like music the most; It gives me a lot of satisfaction. I avoided getting close, but at the same time the music saved my life.
I grew up in a tough neighborhood, with drug trafficking and murders on the streets, there you had to do something to survive. I feel like the spirit of music saved my life and still continues to save it.
-What was the first thing you thought when you realized that you were saved from your serious accident?
The first thing I thought about was whether my penis was okay. (laugh) No, no, seriously, it’s not a joke, those were my first words (whispers) “Is my dick okay?” This embarrasses me a little, but it’s the truth.
-Your music is, in some way, the product of what happened to you in life. Have you thought about the possibility of writing a book or making a documentary?
-Yes, I thought about it. I also realized that my life is similar to everyone else’s. We all experience trauma and the question is what to do with it so that it works in our favor. So I never thought in terms of “my” life, but rather how “our” lives are connected.
-Why did you decide to re-record some of your songs in acoustic versions?
-Simply because I felt inspired and I do everything that inspires me. I think everyone is my teacher, I try to always keep that in mind. If it inspires me I’ll do it, otherwise I won’t. That’s why I’m poor (laughs)
The scene in Oakland
-From outside the United States, Oakland is kind of a small city near San Francisco. How would you define Oakland’s importance in your country’s musical culture?
-Oakland is a small city with a giant footprint. He’s like the short guy but with a huge gun. (laughs)
You understand? The things that come out of that area are incredible. I like the idea that it’s a city that people continually underestimate but culturally and musically it’s a monster. His contribution to the national scene is truly remarkable from Santana to E40 to Digital Underground, Green Day, Metallica, Sly Stone… it’s crazy!
-Your collaboration with Sting, “Undefeated eyes”, was finally released, how do you remember the experience?
-We met in New Mexico at a festival. While I was playing I realized that he was listening to me on the side of the stage. I thought “Wow, he’s amazing, he’s one of the greatest artists in history!”
In my opinion Sting is an incredible songwriter and I was paying attention to what I was doing; there was a connection. I told him I had a song he could sing on and also help me finish it, which he eagerly agreed to. It’s really nice to be able to share this moment with someone who has made so much incredible music. When you are there he becomes your teacher and you are totally grateful to him. I loved that experience.
-You are a politically engaged person, so I would like to know: how do you currently see the political landscape in your country?
-It makes me think about history books all the time. I’m a fan of the story and I realize it’s nothing new. Humans repeat a lot of their own bullshit and that’s disappointing because as artists we have to compose, collaborate, produce, make films and protest, but all with love, for things to get better. As I told you before, it’s about learning, always.
After the defeat suffered by his team on Tuesday at the Arena do Galo stadium in Belo Horizonte, the fans of River Everything helps to cement the hope of overcoming the 3-0 defeat suffered Atletico Mineiro in the first leg of one of the semi-finals of Copa Libertadores: cabals, promises, signs, metamessages or heroic memories are valid for this moment. In that search they may find the precedent of a head-to-head series in which the Brazilian team squandered an even bigger lead and ended up defeated on Argentine soil.
That historic return occurred almost three decades ago, in the final of the 1995 edition of the Extinguished Conmebol Cupand the protagonist of the enterprise was Rosario Central. So, the Rascal It became the first Argentine team to win that precursor competition to the Copa Sudamerica, organized by the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) between 1992 and 1999, and which Lanús (1996) and Talleres de Córdoba (1999) would later also win.
That year, the group led by Angelo Tulio Zof had marched in the first three rounds of the tournament and had emerged victorious in the six matches eliminating Defensor Sporting of Uruguay in the round of 16, Cobreloa of Chile in the quarterfinals and Atlético Colegiales of Paraguay in the semi-finals. Atlético Mineiro had easily eliminated Guarani de Campinas in the round of 16 and Mineros de Guayana in the quarter-finals, but had to resort to penalties to beat América de Cali in the semi-finals.
A tight final was expected, with two equal duels, but the panorama was very different. In the first leg, on 12 December 1995, under a downpour at the Mineirão, Atlético struck from the start in the first half, with a header from Ezio, following a cross from Leandro, and took full advantage in the second half. Defensive errors by Central and extension of the lead thanks to goals from Cairo, Paulo Robero and Silva.
The lapidary 4 to 0 seemed to have closed the series in favor of the cast directed by Procópio Cardoso. But Central’s players still believed it. “As soon as we arrived at the hotel in Belo Horizonte, we met in (Omar) Palma’s room. We talked a lot, we made up emotionally and we swore to leave everything to make a change in the situation. “We convinced ourselves that nothing was defined,” he revealed a week later. Orazio Carbonarithe hero in revenge.
After such a defeat, Central’s leaders feared that the public would not join them in their revenge. Having a good income to cover a large part of the 200,000 dollars prize that they had agreed with the team to reach the final, they put the tickets on sale at a reduced price, between 5 and 15 pesos. The seats flew and on the night of December 19th more than 40,000 people, armed with unfailing enthusiasm, packed the Gigante de Arroyito.
The miracle that not many believed in began to become tangible in the first half in which the local team overwhelmed an opponent who did nothing but defend himself brutally. In the 22nd minute, the Uruguayan Rubén Da Silva, after a good play by Diego Ordoñez and a cross by Martín Cardetti, scored the 1-0. Fifteen minutes later, Carbonari scored the 2-0 with a powerful free kick that broke the resistance of goalkeeper Taffarel. to 0. And in the 40th minute Cardetti, with a precise assist from Da Silva, made it 3 to 0. There is still some time left and many are already believing in the feat.
But in the complement the Brazilians managed to manage the ball a little more and also generated some risky chances. Thus they found peace again, while Central fell into a tangle of nerves. However, with just two minutes remaining, the legendary Palma sent a cross from the left and Carbonari, now transformed into a centre-forward, scored the fourth goal with a diving header. «When I went to look for the center, I kept repeating to myself: ‘Now yes, now yes’. Then I saw the ball inside and I found it hard to believe it,” the defender then said.
The goal of Ball He sent the definition of penalties. Over there, Doriva and Leandro missed the first two for Atlético Mineiro. Even though Taffaril stopped Cristian Colusso’s shot, Central went into the final shot of the series with a chance to win. And Da Silva wasn’t wrong. Thus, Rosario’s team overcame a four-goal deficit, something that had never happened in a case of direct elimination of a Conmebol tournament (and which would never happen again), and won the title. He did it on December 19, the same day in which, 24 years earlier, he had beaten Newell’s 1-0 at the Monumental with Aldo Pedro Poy’s unforgettable pigeon in one of the semi-finals of the National Championship which he would later win. .
The same fans who before the match declared themselves convinced of the utopian victory, witnessed the overflowing mass celebration inside the pitch in a catatonic state of absolute perplexity, repeating: ‘It was a miracle, I can’t believe it’. ” writes Roberto Fontanarrosa two days after the victory of the team he loves in an article published in Clarín. With a miracle similar to the one experienced then Black River fans are currently dreaming of overcoming the slope next Tuesday against Atlético Mineiro.

The excellence of Paul McCartney You can also see it in the small details. In his last presentation in Argentina, in a show of about two and a half hours at the Mario Alberto Kempes stadium in Córdoba, the legendary 82-year-old musician fascinated the audience with emblematic songs from his solo career, from Wings and The Beatles, but also surprised a repertoire of words in Spanish, typical of the Cordoban identitywith which he also received applause and ovations.
“Good evening, Argentina. Hello Córdoba, where are the culiados? Culiados!“, greeted the English this Wednesday evening, after starting the Got Back Tour concert with the songs Can’t Buy Me Love and Junior’s Farm. He thus emulated the phrase he launched on the same stage on May 15, 2016, when performed on the One on One tour.
Subsequently, the singer-songwriter and composer winked again at the local audience with another of his interactions: “Córdoba, city (province) of Fernet and the quartet,” he pointed out in a friendly tone, after pronouncing “cuarto” and “cuartero” to refer to the popular drink.
As in his recent packed presentations at River Plate, on October 5 and 6, the former Beatle delighted those of all ages with other classics: “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”, “For the Benefit of Mr. Kite”, “Drive My Car”, “Got to Get You Into My Life”, “Getting Better”, “I’ve Just Seen A Face”, “Blackbird” and “Get Back”, as well as anthems “Let It Be” and “Hey Jude”.

As part of the emotional closing at the Kempes, where he performed for the second time together with Justy Anderson and Brian Ray on guitars and vocals, Paul “Wix” Wickens on keyboards and vocals and Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums and vocals voice, McCartney He greeted himself with a saying that led to putting people even more in his pocket: “Bonardo tonight. See you next time“, hill.
The artist will leave this Thursday for Peru, where he will continue his international tour which will end in December 2024 in England. Meanwhile, his stay in Argentina, perhaps his last, made many people happy and confirmed the validity of a legend of popular music, Sir Paul McCartney.
Since its inception in June last year, the streaming channel Olga he organized several special broadcasts of the program Migue Granados, I dreamed that I was flying.
This Wednesday the 23rd, the day of the 73rd birthday of Charlie Garciastaged their biggest success to date, with around twenty great singers of different musical styles, performing unforgettable hits.
They debuted with a Cerati Day in the studio, then they held a Round daythere was a Spinetta Day at the Colón theater, a Cris Morena Day in the Gran Rex and also a partial meeting of Bandana and Mambrú also in the studio.
On this occasion they got together an incessant parade of extras and great songs, always with the breadth of criteria that characterizes the new generation of audiences and musicians, uniting people of different genres. As Charly himself predicted, “Without prejudice are those who will come.”
Only with that freedom of action was he able to join García’s great colleagues (Nito Mestre, León Gieco, Pedro Aznar, Fabiana Cantilo) with rock people (Santi Motorizado, Ale Kurz, Lula Bertoldi), the tango (Raúl Lavie), folklore (the Sun, Los Nocheros), tropical music (La Delio Valdez, Angela Leiva) and music for children (Topa). They were too Juan Carlos Baglietto, Nahuel Pennisi, Favio Posca, Andy Chango AND Manuel Wirtzamong others.
The result was a new success: during its live broadcast it was the most watched in the world. At the beginning there were around 120 thousand people watching on YouTube, then they rose to 137 thousand and never went down. Between YouTube and Twitch it reached a peak of 148 thousand viewers.
In the more than 17 hours of broadcast, since the preview began at 6 in the morning, Olga has surpassed 1.3 million viewsthe hashtag #OLGACharlyDay It reached the first trend on X in Argentina and during Charly Day, OLGA reached 85% of the public consumption flow.
It was also a success on the solidarity level: 4 tons of food were collectedbecause the only requirement to pick up the free tickets the day before was to bring a donation.
An excellent artistic level
It is worth pointing out that in many tributes, tributes and celebrations of great artists you run a double risk: making versions so faithful that they contribute nothing or facing interpretations so different that the key essence of the piece is lost. It’s almost a lose-lose and the occasions in which they hit the target are few.
This time, however, the success was very high, and the audience appreciated it by standing up, applauding the artists and singing or clapping their hands.
At the beginning, after a series of notes taken by Julio Leiva, Evelyn Botto, Elial Moldavsky and Pedro Rosemblat in the theater room, with some armchairs and decorations similar to Charly García’s house (graffiti on the wall, broken telephones and keyboards, vinyls and posters), Migue Granados welcomed from the stage, a few minutes after eight in the evening.
The charismatic pilot told an anecdote from 1999, when he was 12 years old and heard a Charly García song for the first time. He recalled more details of his relationship with his idol’s music and concluded: “Doing this is a dream of ours.”
Immediately an instrumental section of Moving from the bed to the living room, demonstrating the power and exquisite dispositions of the group armed by Lito Vitalewith talents such as Javier Malosetti, Hernán Jacinto, Sergio Verdinelli and Rama Molina, as well as two choirs, four wind instruments and three woodwinds.
Already settled at the table of his radio show, Migue and Luca Friedman They began the dynamic by introducing the singers, sometimes interviewing them briefly and, of course, publicizing the sponsors who made such a production possible.
The songs
Soledad Pastorutti made her debut to break the ice I pray for yousung with great strength and conviction. Manuel Wirzt came in immediately and scored Promises on the bidet with Sonia Alvarez on harp. Raúl Lavié followed with an original interpretation of Friday 3:00 and Laura Esquivel with Song from Alice in Wonderlandwho managed to get the audience back on their feet for the first time in the evening.
Throughout the night there were many versions of songs from Charly’s solo career and also many songs from Serú Girán. Strangely no one chose songs from Sui Generis or The Bird Making Machine.
The recital continued with Juan Carlos Baglietto and a much celebrated event I’m not a strangerbringing everyone to their feet. Nobody sat down during the following songs, both for the joy of seeing the most beloved artists live, and also for the strength of the compositions: Ale Kurz with Close to the revolutionLos Nocheros with Collective unconscious and Fabi Cantilo with Connection.
Just over an hour had already passed when the actor Favio Posca approached and showed off They keep hitting uswhile huge balloons flooded the room. Lula Bertoldi did it I don’t need your love and Topa surprised him Chipi chipi.
An emotional moment was when Migue introduced his sister Mery and his father Pablo, to whom he gave a huge Yamaha CP-70 piano, the same one Charly had been using since the 1970s. The well-known actor and comedian premiered it by singing a section of You were green too and then he did it Pepper with his daughter. Migue’s arrival was expected, but the nerves of the last few days have left him with an unusable voice, as he confessed.
Heading towards the final stretch, Angela Leiva arrived (Adela on the carouselwith a great solo by Rama), Nahuel Pennisi (extraordinary in The dinosaurs), La Delio Valdez (Looking for a symbol of peace), Lucas Fridman himself (Bank that flaw), Andy Chango (Tu vice) and the unexpected duo Santi Motorizado and León Gieco (I don’t want to go that crazy).
Immediately, during the conversation with the drivers, León sang to them The mornings to Charly, with harmonica and Mexican spirit.
They closed Nito Mestre (videotape eyes) and Pedro Aznar (your love), both applauded with enormous affection and admiration by the audience that packed the Colosseum theatre. Pedro then doubled León’s bet and sang Congratulationsin a kidnapping of Italianness.
There was an encore with most of the singers Seminar, almost exactly three hours after the celebration began which achieved its goal and in the process ended up becoming a true milestone.
Four penalties. Left and right. With reflexes and agility. With a vengeful task because he was responsible for the equalizing goal that led to this definition. Leandro Brey put the team on his shoulders. Or in your hands, of course. And he ended up being the figure of the first great success Fernando Gago. Mouth he should have batted in the nineties Gymnastics La Platabut he ended up clinging to his young goalkeeper, replacing the interrogated man Sergio Romeronothing less. AND qualified for the semi-finals of the Argentina Cupinstance where you wait Velezchampionship leader. I needed it to face this journey that had just begun with an important emotional boost.
The debut was so disappointing that Gago had to make some changes. Of names, obviously. But also of scheme. And if there is something that the coach has learned it is that his idea, however convinced, must adapt to the team he has. In this sense he understood that the 4-3-3 was not possible if he wanted to play with Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani, two centre-forwards. Then he implemented a 4-2-3-1, the scheme with which he ended up managing Chivas, with the players in their natural positions.
The Uruguayans share the manifesto, but Cavani is the reference and his compatriot has retreated a few meters further back. Unlike the match against Tigre in Victoria, where he played on the left, almost as a winger, in a midfield position and more centred, he connected much more to the game. Even if the difference was made by the wings, Brain Aguirre and, above all, Exequiel Zeballos.
Him Changuito He was unstoppable every time he tackled. He started from the right, taking advantage of his better profile, and created many difficulties for Rodrigo Gallo. Furthermore, a Norberto Briascowho had to return to collaborate on the brand. The lateral work is also interesting. Although they climb into several bindings, they usually close to allow the ends to overflow.
Behind them, Ignacio Miramon he felt freer to play with him Thomas Belmonte in a double five that covered the spaces well, which he recovered and was good opposition for the La Plata midfielders.
The goal came quickly. It came from a stopped ball executed by Aguirre. A clearance comes from the area, Zeballos allows Advíncula and the Peruvian hits a cross for Aaron Anselmino, who arrives free and heads towards the goal. Marcos Ledesma cushions, but does not block the shot of the boy from Pampa who will play for Chelsea.
Boca was direct, they didn’t accumulate many passes. And he almost doubled his lead with a free kick from Cavani just wide.
Gimnasia, on the other hand, presented a 4-3-3 in which they stood out on the flanks. In the center he touched the ball with Augusto Max or Enzo Martínez and opened the game for Matías Abaldo on the right or Briasco on the left. Sometimes it went deeper. However, he never troubled Leandro Brey, who replaced the questioned Sergio Romero. There have been lateral centers that ended up being rejected by the Xeneizes defenders or went astray.
