Shoes That Rub Ankles

Victor Alfaro


There are very few people like him willing to sacrifice their efforts to something I believe. But this sacrifice, this effort involves a great thing for many who are dedicated to a profession as music, a genre is worn or mistreated as singer-songwriters. Some time ago I was lucky to meet Victor Alfaro. I well remember the first time I set foot studies Radio Sol XXI San Bernardo Street. I was honest with that smile, that look clean and the wrinkles of his warm voice. "This is a modest radio, Manuel, you know, but we have our listeners, here from Song Author click through the song or the Zarzuela" . The first time I was there I knew I would cross his path, and so, I set foot again and again its design, creative space to invite me back home. We had lunch together, talked not only about music but about Movies, Comics, and life. Yesterday Victor

Libertad 8 opened in his first radio show made out of the study. On stage at the legendary Café is home to many of the songwriters who are dedicated to this. A program with public and with friends. With live music. For me it was an honor to be the first guest of those invited to this event. But yesterday, when I sat with him, everything was very different. I do not sit and talk with the speaker and I was not interviewed singer-songwriter. Was better. The feeling was infinitely better. He was sitting there with Victor, my good friend Victor Alfaro as that is very comfortable in the living room of the house. Lacked the brazier, coffee or glass of wine. But I felt enveloped by it. First of all there is friendship and that's all I care.

I had a great time and it was an unforgettable evening, which fortunately is recorded. They went there to talk to Victor after David Fernandez, Luis Ramiro representative among others, Diego Ojeda who sang, Marwan (Guille Congratulations! You deserve it!) And there was a spontaneous invitation to read a poem by Miguel Hernandez took a couple of records.

Among the attendees were friends involved with singer-songwriters like Martin Acosta, head of tours of many of the English songwriters who are going to Argentina and Chile to give concerts, also Fran Fernández, Néstor Raluy and Paul Abella (author of the picture).

important thing is that Victor managed to radiate good cheer and warmth, and commitment to continue to give space and spreading the Music Copyright and providing us with dignity and respect they deserve a lot of musicians that do not play on Radio Formula but that "it is Curro. Once a month, this program will live in freedom 8, the next meeting will be March 16 at 5 and a half ago. If I were you I would lose.

Thanks Victor for making us part of this commitment, but above all, and above all for your friendship, it is an honor and a luxury. It was great to meet your father.
