1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,120 Today is the day of the speaker throughout the Dominican Republic, April 18. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,439 What' s the name of the sheath they give to the speakers. Peterl 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,119 Vazquez, no, no, no, the other sheath, which is a 4 00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:17,600 statuette. The award, the Golden Microphone Award, yes, not that. 5 00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:21,079 That' s not just the locutory. Well, it' s supposed to 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,280 be the announcers, because for you to participate in the award, you have 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,800 to be the announcer. But this profession is very young, sixty- eight 8 00:00:28,839 --> 00:00:34,560 years old. It precisely fulfils today because it was earlier when the first test 9 00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:39,280 was given for speakers, et cetera. It wasn' t the Dominican voice, 10 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,479 a sheath like that, that was thirty- two. At that time 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:47,560 they were called announcers, announcers. Yeah, but does that come from English? 12 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:52,119 Does that come from English? In fact, the word announcer is only 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:01:00,759 used in Spanish or English. In English not disyoki, announcer, etcetera. 14 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,680 The term of the speaker does not exist in English. I don' t 15 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,719 think it' s just Spanish. No brao how can do anything that has 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:14,640 cradio, but whoever does this as a profession, be it commercial, the 17 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:22,680 one that you see as commercial, etcetera, you are an announcer. That 18 00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:29,079 one in English is announced. Well, world- wide it' s the 19 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:36,760 day of the announcer on day three, but in the Dominican Republic it' 20 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,239 s the 18th of April. They tell you that good. That was the 21 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,519 day the first test was given of I don' t know what pod for 22 00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:47,560 the speakers. Alfred Lopez, who writes a blog about etymology. In the 23 00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:53,920 newspaper twenty minutes, he was asked about the origin of the term announcer and 24 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,519 he says that we know as announcer or announcer that person who has the office 25 00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:01,000 to speak on radio or television to give news, to present programs, etcetera. 26 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:08,039 Just as the real academy defines it. Etymologically it comes from the Latin 27 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:15,039 locutoris, whose literal meaning was that which speaks and which is formed by the 28 00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:20,599 verb locki. To speak more the suffix thor used to indicate profession or occupation. 29 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,360 The Latin verb locki has also given us many other terms related to this 30 00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,680 word as a locutory, a place to speak, whether in a prison, 31 00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:38,400 a telephone booth, a cabin or a radio station. Here there were loudspeakers 32 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:46,080 before in this company and one side were the technicians of these guys conson Vain 33 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,879 and on the other side there was a small room with microphones and they were 34 00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:53,360 loudspeakers. All the radio stations had the rhythms, they had the loudspeakers, 35 00:02:53,759 --> 00:03:00,199 they had the glass and subway and in the cibao and everywhere, per radio 36 00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:05,719 changed the way they distributed. We also hit all together in the same place. 37 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,000 While speaking, the crazy talker does, the one who speaks much too 38 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:15,439 eloquently, the one who speaks effectively, electing and stirring or persuading. The 39 00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:23,240 particular way and tone of speaking each circumlocked use of many words to say something 40 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,960 that could have been expressed more briefly in speech. Short talk interlocutor, each 41 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:31,840 of the people who take part in a dialogue, conversation, conversation between two 42 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,280 or more people, soli and lock or reflection inside or out loud or I 43 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,840 do a lot of soliloquio and ventriloquo. Person who has the art of or 44 00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:44,840 the gift of speaking without looking, who is she who promoted the words they 45 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:50,159 came out in God Orian. So on the day of the announcer, a 46 00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:53,479 race that is languishing and that is almost dead, career provided occupation as he 47 00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:59,879 wants to call it. Yeah, well, buddy, this good dario aponte 48 00:04:00,159 --> 00:04:04,719 wrote a newspaper article. Look it up today about the announcer, one of 49 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,560 the best voices we' ve ever had. Excellent lawyer, father of a 50 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,439 good friend of ours. He also explains and talks about the history of the 51 00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:21,600 speech, but about the speech here in the Dominican Republic, specifically how it 52 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:29,319 was started at an already professional level and two regrets the laws that kind of 53 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:32,000 issues look for it in the newspaper. Today, both radio and this profession 54 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:39,800 have had the bad luck of having few chroniclers, that is, few people 55 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,759 who write, who do the chronicles in the time of what this profession has 56 00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:47,839 been. I remember I used to edit a magazine from the speaker' s 57 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:53,600 circle. She' s very good. There I wrote many well- trained 58 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,480 speakers and I read it with some regularity, because my neighbor, Lino Minier, 59 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,920 has already gone out of time, as he collected them at home and 60 00:05:01,959 --> 00:05:06,160 I always went to his house to read magazines and books on radio and communication, 61 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:12,720 being a teenager and well, one of the men who took care to 62 00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:17,160 write about the radio and leave at least documented much of what I had researched. 63 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,839 A great researcher and a chronicler par excellence. The chronicler par excellence, 64 00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:29,879 of the radio donteo you will see because there has left several books written. 65 00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:36,000 The most complete of all edited it about thirteen, fourteen years ago and I 66 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,240 think you still get poll, but I have it the same. They' 67 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,439 re signed gifts. Many of those books are academic reference. Today in universities, 68 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,920 when you talk or are classic, something that has to do with communication 69 00:05:50,959 --> 00:05:55,920 and speech. But look, there' s a question. There' s 70 00:05:56,879 --> 00:06:00,600 a legend that says a legend if I had called the word, that tells 71 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,360 them that all the speakers are ugly. When I said the speech to me, 72 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,199 they put me in the head, they told me that and they said 73 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:10,639 good. The thing is, we' re fire. If we were pretty, 74 00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,639 we' d be on TV, but we watch TV and watch ugly 75 00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:17,600 people dickheads. What I was taught in school was that the more faith the 76 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:24,040 face was, the more the individual had more proclivity to have a better voice, 77 00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:28,079 that is, and better voice was kill, then true better you Or 78 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,360 be very particular characteristics in what he calls better you, etcetera. But I 79 00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:38,879 dismantled that when I started to meet Boricua, Cuban and Venezuelan speakers, Venezuelans 80 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:44,279 and Colombians and Mexicans. There is also a Tiger that here is a voice 81 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,600 that our generation will remember to be called Vaina Gress, John Gress, the 82 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:56,519 voice of barceló for a long time. Tiger was a good daddy and Mr 83 00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,240 Lava was also the one from Ubat Chila de Junivers where he was already I 84 00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,319 say you Right, your old but here our friend, now, from this 85 00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:09,800 time, from now modern, our friend and I speak forget who, who, 86 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,319 the friend I am not pussy. He' s got a show there 87 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,439 that' s half a day in hex, that' s your pretty team 88 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:17,199 and he' s got a rum voice from a mozarrón. To me too 89 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:23,439 is my friend, the pussy Luisa Angelio, but also, for example, 90 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:30,480 of my adult adolescence, it is early. He' s reigning, infant, 91 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,680 infant, last looking good. But Rubén Truck, man esta voz, 92 00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:36,480 Rubén Camilo has a very hard- working voice, not a voice wave, 93 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,079 they are microphonic, yes, yes, but very educated, yes, very 94 00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,040 educated and has a technique. No. And Ruben Camilo records you up below 95 00:07:43,079 --> 00:07:46,800 and in the middle guy pussy, guy who has tolo tone to you know 96 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,040 it was beautiful, it was no, because Rubén Camilo is already about sixty 97 00:07:50,639 --> 00:07:54,439 - five or seventy years old and too old. He' s old, 98 00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,720 yes, yes, yes, well, but then he' s going to 99 00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:05,920 play Roberto Rodriguez, Rodrinico, not ever, Roberto meets the rules that start 100 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,319 a big voice with a hard face, face of macha. Yeah, I 101 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,519 ' m the most beautiful old man in this country and the most beautiful voice 102 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,000 in the whole Dominican Republic. Slowest, long and long. Well, but 103 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:22,639 Roberto Rodriguez three jochi and Roberto, you know, you know what joche Ochi 104 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,720 is passionate about speech, a passionate work of crazy radio and when you sit 105 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,519 down with joche to talk about the best voices in this country, I haven 106 00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,480 ' t seen. Well, there' s a lot of people Hey, 107 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,879 they must have one of the memorial files in their head of voices that I 108 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,799 didn' t even get through my head. One day speaking to me, 109 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,559 he mentioned a lot of people I knew the voice, but I didn' 110 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,279 t know who it was. I don' t know if it was, 111 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:56,320 but Hochi gives me the impression from the knowledge he has that it was a 112 00:08:56,399 --> 00:08:58,759 radio broadcast these people who talk radio. He' s a Guarchist radio, 113 00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,919 an enthusiast. I was radia to you, they made you clubs. Yeah, 114 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,080 yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that kind of thing. What 115 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,399 happens is that Joche did better in the mood and people forgot that it' 116 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:11,600 s originally Hoche is a announcer. It' s an announcer on made a 117 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,759 lot of radio. Corporán did everything he built on the radio. Corporan' 118 00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:22,200 s story is very interesting. I think one of the most successful stories, 119 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,639 most interesting because they incorporate, which is from Cibao, if I am not 120 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:33,600 mistaken, He was from Kotoi Corporán, is from Cotuy and was born in 121 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,240 Cotuic Corpora. He arrived here very young in the capital, did everything and 122 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:46,080 arrived on the radio and on the radio made a career and built a radio 123 00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:52,960 and television emporiompre that, unfortunately, could not have the luck to survive the 124 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:58,200 time, perhaps as the sacrifice that took him to build it, sold the 125 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,919 radio group what was deceived in the process was made for the marlo business with 126 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,919 a printing press. The television changed, the reality changed and good already the 127 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:11,919 last years of Corporada were a little difficult, but it does not stop being 128 00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:16,320 a very important page of the history of the communication of the Dominican Republic. 129 00:10:16,879 --> 00:10:22,039 Just like Mr Aracena, who was the founder of Radio Guarachita, perhaps one 130 00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:28,320 of the men with the greatest cultural impact of the last seventy years in the 131 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,960 Dominican Republic, because he helped catapult not only Credio Guarachita had the best speakers 132 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:39,639 of his time the service of that station, but he worried about a segment 133 00:10:39,759 --> 00:10:43,159 of the population that was ignored, neglected by the media at that time that 134 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,279 were the bases in the social base more of the most dispossessed social class. 135 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,840 To this one he spoke visionaries and he did it very effectively and to the 136 00:10:54,240 --> 00:11:00,440 point that to the present day still the name Guarachita is part of the ode 137 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,639 and the Dominican culture. Totally thanks to all the people who have informed me 138 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:09,080 that they have congratulated me on this day, thanks to Group moderated by that 139 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:15,200 great cheque and that great separation that we do not make waiting for the faces, 140 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:22,080 the only salchista that always hempre to jueba. A clear question, because 141 00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:24,240 it has to do with what Witter said, what has been the speaker you 142 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:28,639 liked the most and that, when you met him, you thought it was 143 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,679 uglier than the devil. Don' t put me on the list. It 144 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,840 ' s just that I' ve always been clear. Hey.
