El 26 de junio de 1977 tuvo lugar la primera manifestación del Orgullo Lgtbi+ en Barcelona. Unas 5000 personas marcharon por las Ramblas de la capital catalana entre las Drassanes y Canaletas . Al frente se pusieron las trans y las prostitutas para proteger al recto del colectivo, decían que, total, "ellas estaban muertas". Se llevaron la mayor parte de los palos que repartió la policía. Y en el centro, destacaba, muy alta, morena de pelo rizado y vestido negro escotado, Trini Falcés, la Trini de día cuando ejercía de prostituta, la "Mamy Blue" de noche como cabaretera en los espectáculos de El Molino o La Perla. Pero , por encima de todo, una gran activista lgtbiq+ con acciones que le llevaron a las comisarías primero y a las cárceles después, sobre todo a la temida de Badajoz que fue un cambo de concentración de colectivo al que sometían a todo tipo de tratamientos y trabajos forzados. Pero Trini Falcés fue una valiente porque nació ya desafiando la realidad. Fue un bebé robado en A Coruña por un policía secreta al servicio de Franco en el Pazo de Meirás. Bautizada como Toni, el tiempo descubriría que era intersexual, tenía genitales masculinos, pero en la adolescencia le crecieron las mamas. Sus padres intentaron ocultarla primero, pero no cejaron en su idea de que hiciera la carrera militar. Es la mili en Barcelona la que le hizo descubrir a Trini Falcés que otro mundo era posible y abandonó el régimen marcial familiar. Primero se ganó la vida limpiando y luego en la calle y en la noche como prostituta y cabaretera. Al final de su vida volvió a su tierra natal, a A Coruña, al barrio de Riazor. Consiguió una paga no contributiva que le permitió vivir y una indemnización por la Ley de Memoria Histórica de Zapatero que fue mínima porque su padre, el policía secreta, había borrado casi todo su historial delictivo durante el franquismo. Hoy viajamos su vida paso a paso, la biografía de un activista lgtbiq+ llamada Toni Falcés
En el programa de hoy reflexionamos con Manuel Delgado y Marta Sanz sobre los escondites, esos lugares donde ocultamos nuestros tesoros y nos escondemos de los demás. Pepe Rubio nos propone un viaje por la vida de la activista Trini Falcés. Conocemos más de cerca al diseñador Moisés Nieto. Y Roberto Villar nos descubre la biografía no autorizada de Melania Trump.

In this episode we have esteemed T&T natives, Michele McIntosh Ross & Mikalla Hodges on set to discuss everything Trinidad & Tobago. Jason and I ask the ladies about their culture growing up on the island, what they love, what they miss, and what they can live without when it comes to Trinibago. This episode blossomed out of the previous episode about black expats. Tameka made it clear that she prefers Trinidad as a place of refuge. It was prudent to have her close Trinibago friends on the podcast to give a relevant account of what it's like to live on the island.

Decir Mari Trini puede resultar añejo, carente del glamour que tuvieron otros cantautores coetáneos, como Aute o Patxi Andión que le escribieron sus primeras canciones. Sin renunciar a su nombre, María Trinidad Pérez Miravete Mille fue una mujer tan adelantada a su tiempo, que pertenece más al nuestro.Mari Trini llegó a España desde un París a las puertas del mayo del 68 y después de grabar dos discos en francés. Allí se empapó de las canciones de Edith Piaff, Juliette Grecó o Jacques Brel, del que versionó su célebre Ne me quitte pass. También en París grabó la precuela en francés de su tema más popular: Ce n’est pas moi, Yo no soy esa.En 1970, Mari Trini lanzó el disco más exitoso de su carrera, Amores. Un trabajo que incluyó canciones tan emblemáticas como Cuando me acaricias, Un hombre marchó o Déjame.Mari Trini se convirtió en un personaje muy popular con habitual presencia en la televisión de los primeros setenta. Por contra, fue muy celosa de su privacidad; un espacio, el de su amor, que decidió compartir con la parisina Claudette Lanza desde que la conoció en un local de moda madrileño.Aunque no se definía como feminista, Mari Trini dedicó gran parte de su discografía a defender los derechos de la mujer. Canciones como Yo no soy esa o Diario de una mujer, son buena muestra de ello, o su famosa Una estrella en mi jardín, compuesta junto a Maryní Callejo, la primera mujer productora musical de España.Ella es una de las voces de este documental sonoro. Con guion de Juan Ballesteros, el espacio cuenta también con la participación de Miguel Fernández, autor de Yo no soy esa que tú te imaginas. Mari Trini, una memoria sentimental; de Miriam Pérez Miravete, hermana de Mari Trini; y de Juan de Dios Rodríguez, periodista musical y amigo de la cantautora. Además, y gracias al Archivo de RTVE, contamos con el testimonio de Esther Zecco, autora de Mari Trini, retrato de una mujer libre.Escuchar audio
Una memoria sentimental es el subtítulo de la biografía de Mari Trini, una de las grandes cantautoras de nuestro país y la primera en conseguir un disco de oro.

Rawlston Charles was born in Tobago and moved to Trinidad when he was 15. He migrated to the United States on December 12, 1967, with his copy of Kitchener's 1967 album. Initially, he got involved in the automobile business, repairing, buying and selling cars. He would take his calypso records with him whenever he went out to lime or party on weekends, also working as a DJ, only playing calypso, which was not as popular at the time compared to other genres. It was challenging to get calypso records at the time, costing more to import into the US. He established Charley's Calypso City in Brooklyn on July 4th, 1972, and, subsequently, Charley's Records where he began traveling back to Trinidad to establish connections with calypsonians and bandleaders and acquire music. Despite not having any prior experience in the music industry, Charles became an executive producer, producing some of the greatest calypsos and soca hits. He worked with Sparrow, Rose, Shorty, Explainer, Kitchener, Shadow, Maestro, Swallow, and Becket. The band Charlie's Roots, was named after Charley because he sponsored it, giving them $14,000 to purchase instruments and equipment, but he also nurtured several leading musicians and notable calypsonians, including David Rudder, one of the greatest calypsonians of the modern era. He created Calypso House, where he invited calypsonians to stay at no charge. In 1977, Charles earned himself the respect of the biggest players in the arena when he made a judgment call on a piece of music that at first left people saying he was a madman. The song entitled "Tempo" by Calypso Rose became the first Road March title ever won by a woman. It was historical and a massive hit, all thanks to Charles, who refused to compromise on his vision for the song. In 1984, Charles built and opened his recording studio, which was used by calypso and soca artists as well as major performers on the East Coast hip-hop industry, such as Dougie Fresh, Slick Rick, and RUN-DMC. The studio's gold records were once displayed in the studio's hallway, but most of them were stolen years ago, and only a couple of them were salvaged. In 2019, his daughter, Tina Charles, directed a movie called "Charley's Records," featuring prominent artists such as Mighty Sparrow, Calypso Rose, Doug E Fresh, Kurtis Blow, Prime Minister Keith Rowley, Machel Montano, and Super Blue. Despite piracy and other challenges in the music industry, Charles continues to be optimistic about the future. He believes that the younger generation's increasing interest in soca and calypso music is promising, and many young artists are exploring what was there before them. He hopes that calypso and soca music will continue to thrive and reach a wider audience. Charles's career, passion, and life are that of an American immigrant story of an unsung hero and pioneer who opened doors for many artists to waltz to fame and fortune. Rawlston Charles may have lost more money than they have made profits, but his legacy remains a crucial piece of Caribbean music history, with an exhibition in the National Museum of African History & Culture #otc #onthecallpodcast #podcaster #podcast #ozzie #host #service #shininglight #trinidadian #trinidadandtobago #trinidad #caribbean #caribbeanculture #culture #Triniculture #TriniDiaspora #Trinistories #community #Trinicommunity #sponsor #advocate #calypso @charleysrecords #steelpan #@pelhamgoddard #studio #blackradio @CalypsoRoseofficial #anthem #halloffame #god #children #olympics #documentary #grammys #frankiemcintosh#acolyte #church #faith #bell #marbles #elijah #nationalmuseum #national #museum #african #history
