INTRO - مقدّمة

Antes de casarse con Frida Kahlo en 1929, Diego Rivera contrajo nupcias con la novelista Guadalupe Marín en 1922. La recepción de la boda se llevó a cabo en el Café de Tacuba.

Entre los varios presidentes que solían comer en este gran restaurante, Porfirio Díaz es el más recordado. De igual forma, el compositor Agustín Lara gustaba de visitar el lugar y deleitarse con los riquísimos platillos de la cocina mexicana.

Un 25 de junio de 1936, un atacante entró al Café de Tacuba y le disparó al entonces gobernador de Veracruz, Manlio Fabio Altamirano Flores. El político se encontraba comiendo con su esposa, y poco sabía que esa iba a ser su última comida?

En 1978 se filmaron algunas escenas del filme Los hijos de Sánchez, una cinta que se basó en la novela de Oscar Lewis, The Children of Sanchez. Cabe aclarar, que el autor de este libro se inspiró en uno de los primeros empleados del Café de Tacuba para el personaje de Santos Hernández.

En 1999 un incendio quemó una buena parte del salón principal. Afortunadamente, las llamaradas solamente arrasaron con un poco del mobiliario y algunos objetos de decoración. La estructura del salón quedó intacta, gracias a la labor de los bomberos que llegaron al pronto rescate. Como agradecimiento, el restaurante los invitó a desayunar una vez que el Café de Tacuba volvió a abrir sus puertas.

O Geese
by Luo Binwang

O geese, O geese, O geese!
You crane your neck and sing to sky your song sweet.
Your white feathers float on green water with ease.
You swim through clear waters with your red-webbed feet.

On January 1, music magazine Rolling Stone released its list of "The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time," including famous musicians such as Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, and many more.

Rolling Stone first released a list of its "100 Greatest Singers of All Time" in 2008, and has added 100 more artists for 2023.

Aretha Franklin is again number one on the list, with Rolling Stone calling her singing "the most magnificent sound" to ever come out of America.

Next is Whitney Houston at number two, while soul singer Sam Cooke is number three. Jazz singer Billie Holiday is fourth, while pop star Mariah Carey is fifth.



However, some music fans are unhappy that their favorite artists are very low on the list, or aren't included at all.

For example, some Twitter users are angry that Michael Jackson is number 86, while Beyoncé is in the top 10.

Rolling Stone seemed to expect mixed reactions, writing that people should remember that this is the "Greatest Singers" list, not the "Greatest Voices" list.

The magazine said it was looking at things like originality, how many songs someone made and how much they changed music, not just how well they could sing.

Many Twitter users are also angry that Céline Dion was not included on the list — with more than one calling it "a crime against humanity."

The Canadian singer is one of the best-selling artists of all time, with many Grammy awards and even several Oscars for her songs from films, including Titanic and Beauty and the Beast.

Madonna and Justin Bieber are also not on the list, while Ariana Grande and Bob Dylan are.
