The night of Saturday, September 11, 1971, in Valle de Bravo, a two-hour drive from Mexico City, stands as the most triumphant night in the entire history of Mexican rock music. On that night, several major rock groups in Mexico City performed at an outdoor festival in front of an audience of over 250,000 people. It was an event, which will forever be known by the name of the resort at which it was held... AVANDARO.

La fecha de 9/11 quedo escrita en una pagina de musica y libertad para la sociedad mexicana… despues fue un avion bombardeando El Palacio de la Moneda el 11 de septiembre de 1973 y aquellos sueños de peace and love se irian convirtiendo en la pesadilla de las Torres Gemelas, en New York. Convergencias numerologicas que invitan a pensar.

MAY

Flowers

the wild flowers, the nameless,

were your last recourse,

the labyrinth where you used to hide,

where you slept late,

children followed you,

you only heard bells and colors,

you spoke of pink animals,

and shipwrecks,

(the children listened in silence)

one day: the door was steel,

when they returned for you, the cell was empty

they only found a flower,

a small one,

that they could not understand

Jorge Luis Rodriguez

MAYO

Las flores,

las silvestres, las innombrables,

fueron tu ultimo recurso,

el laberinto donde solias esconderte,

donde dormias hasta tarde,

los niños salian tras de ti,

tu solo oias campanas y colores,

hablabas de animals rosados, de naufragios,

(los niños te escuchaban en silencio)

un dia: la puerta era de hierro,

cuando volvieron por ti encontraron vacia la celda, solo hallaron una flor

diminuta

que no supieron comprender

Jorge Luis Rodriguez
