Synopsis "Una historia sencilla (in Spanish)"

En enero del ano 2011, Leila Guerriero viajo hasta un pequeno pueblo del interior de Argentina para contar la historia de una competencia de baile folklorico: el Festival Nacional de Malambo de Laborde. El malambo es un baile tradicional entre los gauchos argentinos y el festival termina con la coronacion de un campeon. Para resguardar el prestigio del certamen, los campeones han hecho un pacto: una vez que ganan, ya no pueden volver a presentarse en otra competencia. La segunda noche, Guerriero vio a un bailarin que la dejo paralizada, Rodolfo Gonzalez Alcantara, y decidio contar su historia. El resultado es esta cronica repleta de suspenso y plagada de personajes entranables en la que Gonzalez Alcantara cobra las dimensiones de un gladiador tragico. Este libro cuenta la mas dificil de las epicas: la epica del hombre comun. / In January 2011, Leila Guerrierotravels to a small village in the middle of Argentina to report on the story of traditional dance competition: the Festival Nacional de Malambo de Laborde.

Increíble la historia por sí misma, pero sin este relato no habría sido lo mismo. Habrá que leer más crónicas de Leila.
