Diaspora

Thursday, 4 March 2010

阿根廷跟香港有點似吧，都是移民城市。讀會考歴史約莫知道西班牙航海很勁成個世界好早佢地已經週圍去辣。早起十六世紀西班牙已經殺到去布宜諾斯艾利斯。中間經過獨立分裂，第一次世界大戰時作為中立國，人家打將自己發達，當時是超越法國德國的其中一個最富庶國家。十九世紀大量歐洲人移民去布宜諾斯艾利斯，就在港口落腳，在港口生活，跳舞，思鄉，搞工人運動。後來大蕭條，直至前幾年的國家破產。

Caminito係我地呢亭遊客必到之地，但因為佢顏色好靚咩唔通。做人也不要太遊客。它的五顏六色，是因為當時的移民太窮，只能左湊右拼找來剩餘物資為自己的房屋上色。今天的風光背後有很不風光的故事。但如果沒有這些故事，我們隨處找個地方油到五顏六色，看上去一樣，但事情的實質內容不同，那根本沒有意思。

它的足球和探戈又是怎樣的故事。它們的溫柔和暴烈來自怎樣的過去。作為中國人或者香港人，有一部份的情感很容易與探戈的音樂認同，這可能未必是我個人的選擇。

In order to arrive at a personal style, you have to have a technique to begin with. In other words, when I say that style is a special case of technique, you have to have the technique — you have to have a place to make the choices from. If you don’t have a basis on which to make the choice, then you don’t have a style at all. You have a series of accidents.

“You practice and you get better. It’s very simple,” iconic composer Philip Glass famously said. A new NPR interview by his cousin,This American Life’s Ira Glass, gleans deeper insight into the philosophy and creative process of the modern genius. (via curiositycounts)
