Text by Horacio Ferrer.

"In Tokyo, Lima, Istanbul, Montreal, Paris, Granada, Stockholm, Hong-Kong, Geneva, today, an ordinary day in the year 2137, someone is listening to Gardel."

"We leave his tomb in the Chacarita Cemetery, and - unlike with other dead people - no sooner are we in the street than we find the living Gardel."

"God never closes one door without opening another. Gardel's death improved his birth."

"He, who could have sung in Covent Garden or La Scala, mounted Szalsburg Festivals on the streets corners of Buenos Aires to beautify the humblest folk, clothing them with inner evening gowns."
