Radiocine

Rate this book
En 1990 escribí para la televisión una serie de pequeñas comedias musicales cuya duración no alcanzaba a media hora.
La radio heredó ese formato y también los procedimientos de su breve estética: las tramas inescrupulosas, el arsenal de bromas clásicas, las resoluciones arrebatadas, el canto cuidadoso, los invitados ilustres.
A lo largo de los años, se fue amontonando un repertorio de desparejas historias. Las llamábamos nadiocines y no las tomábamos demasiado en serio. En un mismo día se escribían, se ensayaban y se representaban.
Jorge Dorio, Gabriel Rolón y, en verdad, todos los integrantes del programa La venganza será terrible colaborábamos en los textos de aquellas minúsculas piezas.
Lo que hoy presentamos no son registros históricos sino versiones nuevas de algunos radiocines. Hemos aprovechado para abolir pasajes vergonzosos y para asegurar la calidad técnica de las grabaciones.
Advierto ahora, a último momento, que perdida su condición fugaz estos episodios resignan también algo de dignidad. Su salvación queda, entonces, en las solas manos de los actores, músicos, cantantes y locutores que han condescendido a participar de ellos.

Alejandro Ricardo Dolina (born May 20, 1945) is an Argentine broadcaster, who also achieved renown as a musician and a writer.

Dolina was born in Baigorrita, Buenos Aires Province, and spent his childhood years in Caseros, a middle-class suburb of Buenos Aires city, with Yugoslav (in his own words -he never referred to a particular ethnic group in the defunct country) and Italian ancestry (he has also reminded his audiences that Dolina is a word preserved in many Slavic languages, meaning valley). He pursued music and writing since childhood. Although he steadfastly refuses to discuss his private life, he often recalls anecdotes about time spent in his youth in the company of musicians and professional gamblers (he confesses of having worked for a while as a dice man at an illegal casino, until his acquaintance Manuel Evequoz "rescued" him, preventing his going further astray and offering him the first jobs in the advertising business).

In the early 1970s, Dolina made inroads into advertising copywriting and started publishing articles in Satiricón magazine, which was read for laughs but often provided deeper reflections on politics, society, and life in general. His main partner in this adventure was Carlos Trillo, who was also an advertising man and would later become a successful comics writer.

In 1978, with Satiricón closed by the military dictatorship, Dolina started writing in Humor magazine, which treaded much more carefully to avoid closure or an even worse fate. During these years, Dolina (himself a moderate Peronist) wrote essays about honor, love, friendship, and invented a mythology centered on the Gray Angel of Flores neighborhood, fictitious writer Manuel Mandeb (according to himself, inspired by Manuel Evequoz, the man who had helped him in his early youth), using them as a pretext to deal with universal themes. These stories have since been published in the book "Crónicas del Ángel Gris" ("Chronicles of the Gray Angel") in 1987, and later morphed into a musical.

With the return of democracy in 1983, Dolina started hosting a successful late radio show: originally named Demasiado tarde para lágrimas ("Too late for tears"). For several years he enjoyed a growing success; in 1987 he was voted the best humourist in a poll conducted by a primetime TV show, leaving behind some legendary comic actors such as Alberto Olmedo and Jorge Porcel, still active back then. In 1988 he started his own TV show La Barra de Dolina ("Dolina's Gang"); the show was daring enough to include soccer matches featuring some retired stars, and even St. Peter's & St. Paul's bonfires, an old more (safety matters aside, it's held as a bad omen to have real fire in a TV studio). As in his radio show, he'd greet members of the audience in person. In 1990 and 1991 Dolina kept his TV show once a week, while his daily radio show went on a hiatus. Its name was later changed for contractual reasons, in 1992 to El Ombligo del Mundo (a name shared by his resumed radio show and by a Saturday night TV-show); in 1993 he drops the TV show while the radio show gets its current name: La venganza será terrible ("Revenge will be terrible"). In 1991 he was nominated for the "TV or Radio Host" Konex Award for his work in the show.

In spite of changes in the radio or TV station the show format suffered only minor changes since its inception in the mid '80s. To accommodate live audiences (free admittance until the place is full) many live studios were used: the Radio El Mundo (radio) and Canal 11 [1988] and ATC[1990, 1991] (TV) auditoriums; those at the House of Buenos Aires province [1989], House of Entre Ríos province [1989]; the Insurance Workers' Union [1992]. Then, the two-hour show was broadcast live Monday to Friday at midnight originally from the basement of the famous Café Tortoni. Due to security reasons, after República Cromagnon nightclub fire, it was transferred in 2005 to the Hotel Bauen, a recuperated business.

¡¡Inmejorable, divertidísimo!! Algunas líneas me las sé de memoria y salen en el momento menos esperado :P
Lo tenía firmado por el negro de una vez que lo vi en la feria del libro pero un día robaron el auto de una amiga y entre las cosas de valor que se llevaron estaba mi libro demostrando que no por ser chorros no saben lo que es un gran libro. Espero que lo estén disfrutando al menos.

Alejandro “el Negro” Dolina es alguien único. Más allá de su célebre programa radial “La Venganza será Terrible” es un autor muy completo, que utiliza un lenguaje coloquial y aun así gauchesco, nuclea y fusiona el lunfardo con una prosa formal, dejándote con un profundo sabor a magia. Desde hace mucho, uno de mis autores favoritos. Se cierra un ciclo, para dar paso a la leyenda. Salud, Dolina! Le dejo cinco estrellas. Y la venganza será Terrible...

Hace un par de días dejé por acá una reseña de "El libro del fantasma". Vamos con otra del gran Alejandro Dolina @alejandrodolinaoficial: "Radiocine", publicado muy poquito tiempo después que aquél por Planeta @editorialplaneta. La verdad, no me gustan las comedias musicales. Si alguien podía hacer que me interesara en el género, fue el genio de Dolina. Y así, sin tener expectativas, resulta que lo disfruté un montón.

Leer esta obra es escucharlo, reproducir su voz y la de las estrellas invitadas, figuras de gran trayectoria como Julia Zenko, Héctor Larrea, Víctor Hugo Morales. En realidad, también se los puede escuchar, literalmente, porque el libro está acompañado de dos CD. Pero yo prefiero reproducirlos en mi mente y, además, ya no tengo ninguna lectora de CD. Aunque seguramente las grabaciones estén disponibles en línea en alguna parte.

Otro libro 100% recomendado, para leer, escuchar, y sobre todo divertirse un poco.

Con este libro hice trampa: no me lo leí íntegro, pero sí escuché los cds que transcriben (que vienen con el libro, por supuesto), aunque las pocas páginas que no están relatadas en los discos sí que me las leí.
Como pobre reseña sobre el contenido de la obra en sí: historias entretenidas e interpretaciones simpáticas, aunque podrían haber hecho algún personaje femenino un poco menos estereotipado.
