LOS PIONEROS
La paternidad del nombre Lindy Hop ha sido atribuida a “Shorty George” Snowden. Se cuenta que el nombre nació poco después de que Charles Lindbergh consiguiera ser el primero en cruzar el Atlántico volando (hop!): un vuelo de treinta horas de duración en un cacharro de lo mas incomodo. Durante una maratón de baile en Nueva York, un periodista le pregunto a “Shorty” por el nombre de su baile y el, haciendo gala de su legendario ingenio respondió “Lindy Hop”.
“Shorty George” fue un personaje que merece mas atención, ya que fue el mejor bailarín de la sala Savoy desde su apertura, Count Basie incluso le dedico una canción. Con su escaso metro y medio de altura formaba una grotesca pareja con “Big Bea”, una señora mujer, casi dos palmos mas alta que el, y que le doblaba en peso. Digamos que encontró una pareja de baile excepcional con quien desplegar su sentido del humor en la pista: deslizándose por debajo de sus piernas, saltando a su espalda o cuello, etc. Por supuesto todo era aderezado con las muecas de ambos, miradas de deliciosa complicidad y exclamaciones diversas. “Shorty” llego a fundar una trouppe para actuar con la orquesta de Paul Whiteman y junto con “Big Bea” son considerados los Fred Astair y Ginger Rogers del Lindy Hop. | Translation - English
THE PIONEERS
The paternity of the name Lindy Hop was attributed to “Shorty George” Snowden. It is said that the name was born right after Charles Lindbergh achieved his purpose of crossing the Atlantic Ocean by plane (hop!): a 30-hour flight with a very uncomfortable flying thing. During a dance marathon held in New York, a journalist asked “Shorty” about the name of his dance and coherently to his inventiveness he replied “Lindy Hop”.
“Shorty George” is a person who deserves special attention since he was the best dancer of the Savoy Ballroom since its opening. Even Count Basie dedicated him a song. He who was about 5 feet tall formed a grotesque couple with “Big Bea”, a lady who was a bit more than a foot taller than him and doubled his weight. We could say he found an extraordinary partner to deploy his humour on the dance floor with: he slid underneath her legs or jumped into her back or neck, they dedicated to each other delicious glances of understanding as well as varied exclamations. “Shorty” founded a troupe so he could act with Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra and together with “Big Bea” were considered the Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers of the Lindy Hop. | | English to Spanish: GRAVE NEW WORLD | Source text - English
Grave new world
A year which began with optimism ends in the harsh glare of reality
Jonathan Freedland
Saturday December 30, 2000
This was the year the shadow fell. Perhaps we didn't allow ourselves to notice it, but some fin de siècle optimism, even idealism, had seeped into the collective bloodstream during the 90s.
We branded the decade a new era of caring and sharing, an antidote to the avarice and excess of the 80s. By 1997 the country seemed ready for a fresh start and more upbeat about itself than at any time since the 60s: we declared Britannia cool. But in the year 2000 we seem to have had a reality check - to have remembered that every light comes with shade.
Of course the most glaring symbol of the contrast is the dome. It was dreamed up as the incarnation of millennial confidence and hope: instead, it became a monument to British incompetence, vanity and a system of power which allows our governing politicians to make mistake after mistake with no scrutiny until it is too late. | Translation - Spanish
Un mundo infeliz
Un año, que comenzó con optimismo, acaba en una drástica mirada a la realidad.
Jonathan Freedland
Sábado, 30 de diciembre de 2000.
Éste ha sido el año en el que la sombra cayó. Quizás no nos hemos permitido el lujo de darnos cuenta, pero algo de optimismo de fin siglo, incluso de realismo, se ha filtrado en el torrente sanguíneo colectivo de los años 90.
Hemos denominado a esta década como la nueva era humanitaria y caritativa, el antídoto a la avaricia y al exceso de los años 80. En 1997 el país parecía estar preparado para un comienzo renovado y mostrarse más optimista que nunca desde los años 60: Gran Bretaña es genial. Sin embargo parece que en el año 2000 hemos vuelto a la realidad y hemos recordado que detrás de la luz acecha la sombra.
El símbolo más resplandeciente es, sin duda, la Cúpula. Se concibió como la reencarnación de la confianza y la esperanza del milenio. En su lugar, se ha convertido en un monumento a la incompetencia y la vanidad del Reino Unido, un sistema de poder que permite a nuestros gobernantes cometer error tras error hasta límites insospechados. |
