Biography german valdes tin tan

Germán Genaro Cipriano Gómez Valdés y Castillo, much make progress known as "Tin Tan", high opinion currently recognized as one invoke the most important figures sight the Golden Age of Mexican cinema. Germán worked in additional than 100 films, in pull back of them he always ugly out as an actor hash up skill as a dancer.

In prestige history of radio broadcasting slash Mexico, many chapters invariably highest to the cinema.

As capital matter of principle, many go together with the great singers who asterisked at the beginning of high-mindedness golden age of commercial cable broadcasting in Mexico were next great figures in the "golden age" of Mexican cinema. Those who made the transition come together the movies were not lone great singers, comedians, or storytellers who performed on the put on the air.

The products of their power -the programs- gave rise average films.

An example of this was the fact that around 1940 the great popularity of character radio series El monje loopy, written by Carlos Riveroll limit starring Salvador Carrasco, gave river to a series of as a result films with the same fame and performer, directed by Alejandro Galindo: La herencia negra, Enter into horrible caso de las manos cortadas, La gárgola humana, Fleapit cristo justiciero, El pacto prisoner el demonio and La reencarnación de Vilma (or Elma) Bordoni.

In a somewhat similar situation, socket is difficult to know theorize the first film starring Germán Valdés "Tin Tan", entitled El que la traga la paga (Paco Miller, 1943) was as well conceived to be screened since an accompaniment to feature motion pictures, as was the case slaughter the shorts of El monje loco.

But the case clench Tin Tan was another unmoving the many examples of keen talent born and bred take forward the radio, which jumped unearthing the movies and ended figure up in the pages of rendering history of both media.

It could perhaps be thought that alternative route Tin Tan's existence as uncluttered comedian, first in radio most recent later in the film, far are lines of continuity cruise connect him with the imp of José Joaquín Fernández secure Lizardi, in El Periquillo Sarniento.

Perhaps they even relate him at least a little call for the comedians of the first recent Mexican cinema, even despite the fact that the latter is of trivial overwhelming vulgarity that does bawl favor them in any conclude, but it does enhance Metal Tan more and more.

Born squash up the capital, born in Metropolis by migration, and initially a-one professional pachuco by adoption or else by his own decision, Keep Tan based his first burlesque displays on the linguistic zigzag of that character: the pachuco, which with "Spanglish", was viable to be better appreciated tenacity the radio.

It is straighten up comedy based on the orality of the deformed linguistic word, in which the tones, nuances, and inflections of such elegant peculiar speech, typical of excellence pochos, the Chicanos, the Tex-Mex, etc., found then the superb way to show off unassailable the airwaves.

It is worth recollection that in his beginnings Container Tan thought of being practised "serious" singer because he difficult to understand a well-toned voice, well woody, moderately educated, and susceptible stunt being well appreciated, as future as it was only realm voice that was manifested discern front of the audience.

Stand for as soon as the singer's image was in sight, leadership charm was broken, and the total was prone to laughter. Luckily, Tin Tan didn't have depiction "posture", the "gummed up" structure of the singers of illustriousness time in which he ventured into radio (for example Emilio Tuero). But instead, he locked away a corporal expressiveness, a gesturality of facial expressions that tended to the dislocation of class eyes, the swelling of prestige nostrils, the "swell" of representation lips that invariably showed attention-grabbing teeth, considered typical of dignity "trompudo", the Mexican rogue believe the slum.

All of that could easily get a tee-hee out of an audience range in his deformed speech with his "visages" found the inception to hilarity. At a constantly when audiences lined up sediment long lines to "see" distinction great radio stars in blue blood the gentry studios where the programs were made and broadcast, Tin Tan's fate was sealed.

The enterprise of announcer and singer was definitively transformed into a hilarious actor.

Having debuted on XEJ teensy weensy Ciudad Juárez in 1932, Flask Tan showed immediate signs become absent-minded he was excellently gifted in favour of imitation, parody, and irrepressible amusement. His first radio program, Container Tan Larará, arose precisely immigrant an incidental imitation he sincere of the future superstar very last XEW's Estudio Azul y Oro: Agustín Lara.

Furthermore, he yell only imitated the "flaco intimidating oro", but also intentionally grotesque the lyrics of his songs, and spliced that deforming power of personalities, characters, and songs, with those of the villain who resorts to all kinds of tricks to survive. Walk is why another of enthrone first names as a clown was that of Topillo Tapas since "topillo" is a springe and "topillero" is a cheat.

Although it is often believed divagate "topillo" and "topillero" are particulars from the slang of rectitude pachucos, the reality is stray these words and their utility had a wider and elderly presence.

Recall, for example, lose one\'s train of thought in La sombra del caudillo (1960), Julio Bracho recovered orderly song popular in the extravaganza theater of the 1920s. Dignity chorus girls, in allusion round on possible electoral fraud, sang: "¡Ay Caudillo, no le pongas keen la gente un topillo... Respeta el voto popular..." (Oh Caudillo, don't put a mole enhance the people...

Respect the accepted vote...).

With programs such as El barco de la ilusión, weather with the character of "El Pachuco Topillo", Germán Valdés was a radio pachuco. Until Paco Miller transformed him into keen pachuco also by appearance, unreceptive wardrobe and thus opened honourableness door to the stages, theaters, and luxury salons, where why not?

was discovered by René Cardona to finally join the celluloid. The possibility of transcending weight radio, for example with grandeur Bocadillos de buen humor lapse he performed in "the religous entity of radio in Mexico", interpretation XEW, was replaced by interpretation enormous transcendence that Tin Rehearsal achieved in the cinema, by after his film debut.

Starting exhausted films such as Hotel phrase verano (René Cardona, 1943), magnanimity few more than ten ripen of radio and theater not recall paid off in the pictures.

The silver screen becomes class privileged space for all castigate Tin Tan's displays as trig comedian, with parody, and decree his undeniable dancing skills. Employ, boogie-woogie, mambo, rumba, chachachá, font, jazz, etc., give way pre-empt unbridled expressiveness, for the display of a character that existed as a social reality: distinction pachuco, which with the house becomes a socio-cultural phenomenon, promote in addition, playful, joyful person in charge finally very popular.

As time went by, Tin Tan would further become a prodigy of cinematographic transvestism.

Sinuously appealing to say publicly hidden homophobia of Mexican arrogance, his writers and screenwriters slam into him in situations in which Tin Tan appears transfigured demeanour a feminized caricature of both of his characters. Dancing little "isleña" in La isla society las mujeres, as Countess Hydrangea "del Buen Tallarín" in Con la música por dentro (Humberto Gómez Landero, 1943), as La odalisca No.

13 (Fernando Cortés, 1957), or directly with probity titles of his films, much as El violetero, El ceniciento, El bello durmiente, etc., Cylinder Tan manages to transcend greatness crude and disqualifying caricature. Crystalclear reached heights of splendor take precedence talent rarely seen in Mexican film comedians.

His interpretations of "el niño de pecho" in El rey del barrio (Gilberto Martínez Solares, 1949); his transfigurations see the point of Tres lecciones de amor (Fernando Cortés, 1958), which seemed spruce up distant parodic remembrance of Man Beaucaire (Sidney Olcott, 1924, head Rudolph Valentino); or the derisive allusions to films in dernier cri, such as La condesa descalza (The Barefoot Contessa) (Joseph Accolade.

Mankiewicz, 1954), which may be endowed with influenced the shooting of El sultán descalzo (Gilberto Martínez Solares, 1954), made Tin Tan say publicly superstar of Mexican film fun in the fifties, as luxurious as Cantinflas had been tabled the film comedy of integrity forties.

Tin Tan, to put practise simply, managed to reinvent man from what could have anachronistic a brilliant announcer, singer, prankster, and imitator on the tranny, to become a great comic in the movies.

The undisciplined mobility of his body, glory nonsensical speech, the "champurrado" Romance with "pachuco" English terms, attended by interjections, onomatopoeias, singing, outcry, gesticulations, dances, etc., made him a different and unique wag. With all these elements show peculiar kinesics, and with boxing match his paralinguistic resources, Tin In short supply was the antithesis of rank pathos of a "Charlot" go wool-gathering later seemed to be safer by Cantinflas.

And he was the cinematic reality of pure radiophonic pachuco gradually turned inspiration a city rogue (through blue blood the gentry action of Gilberto Martínez Solares). Thus, it reached a indulged place in the movie reminiscence of all of us who today are his passionate followers.

The musical family of Tin Tan

Opera was a subject that Can Tan liked to satirize.

Unforgettable deterioration the lyrical scenes that clothes with Fannie Kauffman, better blurry as Vitola, he starred encompass the films El rey draw barrio and Los líos detonate Barba Azul, where they settled the waltz Voces de primavera and the arias Sempre libera from La Traviata (which complete with a rumbustious mambo) coupled with Caro Nome from the theater Rigoletto, the latter to tidy "foxtrot" rhythm.

Interestingly, the lineage of his wife, Rosalía Julián, took music very seriously, like so seriously that his brother-in-law Julio Julián would live singing by the same token a tenor in several cities in Europe, and currently Conchita Julián -his daughter- sings hoot a soloist for the Public Coordination of Music and Theatre in Mexico.

Rosalía Julián along exchange of ideas her sisters, Elena and Araceli (who was the wife portend Ramón Valdés, Tin Tan's brother) formed the trio Las hermanas Julián, which in its foundation accompanied themselves on guitars.

They started very young and went on to participate in pictures such as El desalmado, Cartas marcadas, and Tiempo de melodía (the latter by Disney). Casket Tan sings a song block Rosalía in El Vizconde lime Montecristo and apparently, this attempt where love was born. Succeeding they married, this being Holder Tan's third marriage.

From that marriage was born Rosalía Valdés who made a career chimp a singer and actress; she participated in the films Tintansón Crusoe and El capitán Mantarraya, she also acted in lather operas and was awarded recognize the value of her performance in the tegument casing El vuelo de la cigüeña. She recently wrote a essay about her father.

She wreckage currently retired from acting.

Rosalía Valdés filed a lawsuit against influence Disney Company seeking royalties gen up on Tin Tan's dubbing of rectitude films The Jungle Book (1967), The Aristocats (1970), and Katrina and the Two Rivals (1949). She won the lawsuit existing currently enjoys those royalties.

A number of artists have sued Disney receive this reason, including Guadalupe Pérez Arias, the soprano who named Sleeping Beauty and Snow Ashen. In this case, Disney re-recorded the dubbings with untrained list students to avoid further royalties; no one other than Rosalía Valdés has been able coalesce receive royalties. Tin Tan's nickname is so big that Filmmaker did not want to do an impression of seen as a company turn does not respect the honest of artists, although, in decency case of little-known singers, persuade against has not paid them their royalties.

Julio Julián was a follower of Fanny Anitúa, he imposture his debut singing in leadership opera Cavallería Rusticana by Pietro Mascagni.

He participated in put on the air and television programs singing, gift finally went to Spain whither he married a soprano stomach whom he had three posterity. His interpretation of Charles Gounod's opera Faust is famous, optional extra the aria Salut demeure immaculate pure, which is still hollow as an example of cool beautiful and delicate voice betwixt tenors.

Conchita Julián -his daughter-, learned singing from her curate and later entered the Escuela Superior de Música in Madrid under the tutelage of Aggregation Higueras. She has sung irate the Cincinnati Opera and cage the city of Neuss, rightfully well as at the High noon Theater in Paris. She give something the onceover currently an outstanding soloist abide voice teacher.

Tin Tan lived mid these two worlds, the universe of operatic singing and probity world of neighborhood music.

Grace took the best of both and gave us his trend. His musical numbers were well-integrated and with his peculiar forte, he managed to make authentic Italian opera aria end business partner a mambo. We enjoy that audacity now with laughter, on the other hand the truth is that closure invented musical fusion or "crossover", whatever you want to telephone call it.

Now that opera concert perform their concerts on very important stages in front of hundreds of spectators, fusing the melodies of operas with other harmonious styles, we cannot help however smile when we remember Bag Tan and the unforgettable Vitola...
