Hi Hans, this article is from a news paper suplement named El Sureño that is part of the Diario Popular that is published twice a week for Avellaneda and Lanús, two cities in Argentina. Lanús is the place where Oscar Eduardo Ravera lived. The article tells about our concert, which is a Homenaje a Oscar Alemán , a tribute to Oscar Aleman, that we will give on the 24th of July 2008 with the Hot Club of Boedo in Teatro Roma in Avellaneda, which is a very important venue. 
The other picture is the Hot Club de Boedo were we are part in the la Semana de Boedo festival where we will play for the 5th time with Oscar Hector, a milonguero dancer who met Oscar and was hired more than once to participate as a dancer.
All the best of Waldo Fonseca and the boys of the Hot Club de Boedo.Keep swinging
