Horacio Aguirre ' Diario Las Americas"

Feliz 4 de Julio 2010


Diario Las Americas
http://www.diariolasamericas.com,

La primera vez que tuve un ejemplar del periodico
Diario Las Americas fue en las oficinas que
el inolvidable libanes- cubano Pedro Jaile tenia en
cerca del Metro Quintana en Madrid. Al principio
uno tiene la certeza que el dueño del periodico es
de origen cubano. Cual fue mi sorpresa al saber
que Horacio Aguirre es natural de la tierra del poe-
ta Ruben Dario. El Diario Las Americas en aquel
tiempo me transportaba a Cuba, porque en sus
hojas siempre habia alguna noticia de interes para
el cubano. A traves del Diario Las Americas uno
tenia la nocion de como se estaban desarrollando
el exilio cubano en la Florida. Lo que mas me ale-
graba eran los anuncios de nuestros reconocidos
artistas y algunos que recien comezaban hacer sus
pinitos, en los teatro y centros nocturnos de la ciu-
dad de Miami. Politicos, comerciantes, artistas
. Desde ese mismo momento,
hice contacto con las personas que recibian el
Diario Las Americas en Madrid. Religiosamente
iba cada quince dias a recoger los periodicos.
Fui muy feliz e hice feliz a muchos cubanos
que como yo temiamos ansias de saber como
se desarrollaban los cubanos al sur de la Florida.
. ......A mi llegada a Los Angeles de inmediato
trate de buscar algun sitio donde poder adquirir
algun ejemplar. No tuve esa suerte. Los vendedores
tenian el ABC de Madrid, a veces el Mundo, pero
no EL Diario Las America. Tuve la inmensa buena
suerte de conocer a tres escritores cubanos que
por largo tiempo colaboraban en tan prestigiosa
publicacion. Ellos eran Octavio Costa y la sin igual
Dr. Asela Gutierrez Kann. Esta ultima colgaba en
la pared de su sala , una hoja del Diario de Las
Americas donde habian publicado las fotos con los
nombres de todos los escritores que habian colabo-
rado en el. Era impresionante !!!!
......... El Diario Las Americas siempre nos ha dado
un lugar en sus paginas. Horacio Aguirre , al igual que
Estados Unidos.
Campeones ambos de la democracia , ambos tienen en
comun la feche patria del 4 de julio

Felicidades Don Horacio Aguirre ........

Gracias


Diario Las Americas is Miami’s first Spanish-language newspaper. Founded in 1953, the newspaper has been the longtime voice of South Florida’s Hispanic communities. Founding Editor, Horacio Aguirre and his brother, Francisco studied very carefully the best place to start a new Spanish language medium in the United States and settled on Miami because of its ´geographic location and because of a small but significant Hispanic population already living in the area. Aguirre figured that the advent of the jet age would help to make Miami a major gateway city for Latin America and the Caribbean. Since its´ launch, Diario Las Américas has been a major media player for readers looking for concise and up to date information on the most important news and developments of the Western Hemisphere. The newspaper has been an active member of the Inter American Press Association (IAPA) since its inception

~ John Philip Sousa~

John Philip Sousa November 6, 1854 – March 6, 1932) was an American composer and conductor of the late Romantic era, known particularly for American military and patriotic marches. Because of his mastery of march composition, he is known as "The March King."

John Philip Sousa was born in Washington, D.C., on November 6, 1854, to John Antonio Sousa and Maria Elisabeth Trinkhaus. His parents were of Portuguese and Bavarian (German) descent.[2] Sousa started his music education by playing the violin as a pupil of John Esputa and G. F. Benkert for harmony and musical composition at the age of six. He was found to have absolute pitch. When Sousa reached the age of 13, his father, a trombonist in the Marine Band, enlisted his son in the United States Marine Corps as an apprentice to keep him from joining a circus band. Sousa served his apprenticeship for seven years until 1875 and apparently learned to play all the wind instruments while honing his mettle with the violin.
