Chaim Herzog

 En 1976 Chaim Herzog, embajador israelí en las Naciones Unidas, se refirió al rescate de Entebbe, que eliminó a los terroristas que tenían un avión secuestrado, y alabó el trabajo de las Fuerzas de Defensa Israelíes. Herzorg había combatido con los británicos en la Segunda Guerra Mundial y también era veterano de la guerra Árabe-Israelí. En vocabulario: connivence

 

"For us, the Jewish people, this resolution based on hatred, falsehood and arrogance, is devoid of any moral or legal value. For us, the Jewish people, this is no more than a piece of paper and we shall treat it as such."

Santana


Un poco de los primeros años de Carlos Santana y su iniciación como banda de rock. “Estuvo influenciado por Ritchie Valens pero también por los ritmos afro-americanos y de jazz latinos”. En el video comenta sobre la música y la influencia sobre la gente. Para saber un poco más algo de Bill Graham y Fillmore West y en vocabulario: busking. ¡Damas y caballeros… Santana!

Carlos Santana (born 1947) is a Mexican and American musician who first became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and Latin American jazz. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin and African rhythms featuring percussion instruments such as timbales and congas not generally heard in rock music. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. In 2015, Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at number 20 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists.
