EL CITY POP NUNCA MUERE
Más de cuatro décadas después de su lanzamiento original, el legendario himno del city pop "Stay with Me" de Miki Matsubara acaba de romper un histórico récord musical mundial.
La icónica canción de 1979 se ha mantenido más de ciento ochenta semanas consecutivas en el top diez de las listas internacionales de Genius Japan, un dominio que ni los éxitos modernos logran igualar.
Trágicamente, la cantante falleció en 2004, pero su voz continúa conquistando a nuevas generaciones gracias a su masivo resurgimiento en internet.
Su legado vivirá para siempre.
I was “black” when I read The Odyssey in high school...
...but somehow I never imagined the characters as looking like me.
Why?
Because they were GREEK characters.
I didn’t need Odysseus to look like me to appreciate his story.
I didn’t need Helen of Troy to look like me to understand her importance.
They were Greek characters from a specific culture, with a specific history.
And this is what Hollywood keeps getting wrong.
We don’t identify with characters because they look like us.
We connect with them because we recognize something human in them - their struggles, their courage, their flaws, their values.
Odysseus is a GREEK hero.
Helen of Troy is a GREEK woman.
Their identities are part of what makes their stories meaningful.
Casting Colombians and Africans and Indians as Greek ISN'T "representation."
It’s just insulting.
Stop it.
