Gaby, Fofo, Miliki: La vida es un circo | Manuel Feijoo | TEDxSevilla


[Music]

well let’s see if this works that

answer and if I say how are they

you did not hear it has to be a lot

stronger we will see each time they give

you me too I’m fine

I’m also fine because Gaby fucked and

miliki said this phase for the first time

more than 60 years ago in Havana Cuba

and still today there are those who can say

how are you in Spain and what

Let’s say that good in Spain and

Cuba and in Argentina and Colombia and

Mexico and Puerto Rico that had

gaby fofó and miliki to become

a unique business case that they had

our three Vallecas brothers for

illuminate the childhood of four

generations of Spanish speakers and that

there are no clowns to this day

how were the clowns on TV

I think what they had was that they

they dared gaby fofó and miliki were

three brothers children of clowns and grandchildren

of clowns from the bridge of vallecas de

Madrid

they as children knew what they wanted

be they wanted to be big artists

clowns and my grandmother told me that

when they go to sleep and when they were

with the blanket covering himself to sleep

they were already told from children how

it would be his successes were counted what

would be the applause in Rome as

would debut in Scandinavia the applause

that they would receive in Germany or

criticism in england and the ends of

week

they played what they were going to do as adults

they had received an excellent

musical education by his father

so pick up a wheelbarrow put the

work instruments were going

walking from vallecas to the

Atocha station catch a train and it

direct to a nearby population of

madrid once they arrived they acted

They passed the cap and they saw it again

on the train walking to vallecas

yes my grandfather who was seven years old

Stuck in the wheelbarrow with a blanket

years later in the 46

the first opportunity arrives a contract

four months to go to the circus saints

and artigas

The most famous circus on the island of Cuba

they had never been in Cuba but

they dared will wrap their

instruments in paper bags

they bought a third class ticket and

they went to Cuba

this is the photograph of his landing

in Havana, you can still see clowns

very classic very far from what

we knew the future

they did not know if they were going to work

there they did not know if his humor and his

music was going to like the Cuban public

let’s like it in a very short time

they were working in the morning in the

radio in the afternoon in the circus and by the

night at the tropicana cabaret

note that they were clowns have a

product but they knew how to adapt it to

different clients that had

that yes they did not make concessions towards in

radio that the radio is heard well by

they made her dressed as clowns

that was like that four months after

end up

theoretically they went home those

four months became 27 years

of stay in america

the businessmen did not let them leave

first is to get a contract for

mexico to shoot a movie

after doing performances for

Central America and life was taking me

to stay for the Caribbean

Gaby tried to call her women so that

they went to Havana they installed there

family and in 49

is when the change comes the turn what

makes them what they are today

they had a contract to leave six

months to tour the

Theaters of Baja California in Mexico

they were in Caracas bought the tickets

and my grandfather told me that by lowering

stairs of the travel agency arrived

his agent with the car told him to return

the tickets as they demand, the

newspaper and they are inaugurated the

first Spanish-language television of the

World in Havana Cuba

union radio television and we have

that for Cuba

this is the future television says no

we do not have to go to Mexico that we have

a six-month contract and it’s gold but

They decided to dare to give

opportunity to destiny they took a

silver bolivar and they said face us

Let’s go to Cuba, we ‘re going to Mexico

they launched and left face they went to

television and there they interviewed

the director and told the director of the

string you are clown and csif how much

material has mounted and about three hours

three hours of material in total between

games songs and you would be

able to do half an hour daily

completely new fix the madness

you have three hours you mount and they ask you

do half an hour daily completely

new for six months in a medium

new that nobody knows how to do it

is the television they said yes

gaby fofó and miliki signed and went

the first artists of the speaking world

Hispanic

the first ones that signed a contract in

a medium called television and this is

key because from then on no longer

there were three artists were three

entertainment professionals that

they dominated the entire production chain

of your product from the beginning to

the end

they wrote the scripts they wrote the

songs were looking for props they drew

the sets were looking for the effects

specials and finally interpreted

for his audience there was no

clown no child artist who

accumulated the know-how that

they were accumulating them by the single

fact of daring they were already doing

six months a year of circus and six months

a year of television the family was going

growing and they were 22 family members

the public respected him he loved them in

very few years had passed from being

some children dragging a

wheelbarrow for the surrounding villages

from post-war madrid to idols

on the island of Cuba they made movies

recorded albums did everything

earn the respect of the public from

respect

in fact the maximum respect was for the

public

the phrase how are you arising from the

respect they had detected in Cuba

among adults treated you

but the children were treated to you

grandson why do not we go to

treat children with the respect that

it deserves because we’re not going to go out

stage and say hello saying how

are you and since then how

are you and the good was a greeting

to be seen throughout america and every

once life gave them a setback what

they dealt with imagination

they had noticed that the

Cuban children’s birthday for

celebrate the birthday and blow the

candles are sung a song that the

happy birthday to you example what

meaning that a child who is Cuban

who speak Spanish you sing a

song in a language that does not

because we compose the song and

I composed a song called ‘la

happiness is Cuban that said that way

example the child goes to carlos for the

song said congratulations carlos in your

day you meet them with healthy joy

many years of peace and harmony happiness

happiness happiness

that’s how debuting on television

song work the kids start to

sing at the party the two songs the

Cuban happiness and happy green and

year there will be in the newspaper and it

they find a headline that says

celebrates one year of the Cuban happiness

his floozy author as his

author

if its authors are us them in

his innocence had not registered the

song and a lady who was very

she had registered her

name and is taking advantage of the

copyright the song

accrued had two options one ote

get very angry and go to court and not

fights and they knew they were going to lose

everyone accepts what life gives them and

gives them something in return they were all

night composing and the next day

release a song that says happy

happy in your day

Little friend, may God bless you to reign

peace in your day and that you meet many

plus

they were happy until the year 60 think that

life gives them a slap wins the

revolution the borders are closed and

the clowns are forced to leave

the island of cuba

they were Spanish and their goal

it was always going home you can not

be locked in the island

so get a work contract

according to which they can charge their

fiscal charro company of work already

his family on a Dutch freighter and he

they are on their way to Spain all their lives

all the properties are in Cuba

cars the last decades are left

there are only 22 members of

family a few suitcases and 400

dollars and what is your surprise when

santander to reach in 60 no

they let them disembark they do not get the

permits to put your foot on the ground

Spanish and we never knew why and with

the same

the ship turns around and leaves

towards the Atlantic without knowing them

where they were going to get off they get the

phone from a friend who had a

theater the theater san juan in the neighborhood

Puerto Rican from New York say by

favor

we open the theater we go with all the

company we do not know what to do we are

in the middle of the sea the theater speaks to them and

they invent a week of Hispanic circus

there are lots and photography is a success

17 functions reach 35,000 spectators

and with the money earned liquidate the

company

from there they stay gaby fofó and miliki

the family in half in new york with

$ 400 and a few bags already

is my grandfather told me the day when

I paid my first breakfast there were two

dollars with 85 cents

I felt that the world was coming down

they’re quiet, they make calls from

phone and a friend tells you look at

this country with a number like that

you have two cities to

which you can earn a new life

york the other is chicago

if you see new york you can do

world famous but it is very

likely to die of hunger and if

you see chicago will never be famous

but never miss eating because chicago

It was known as the city of

conventions there were more than 300

conventions a day do not doubt it and it

they go to chicago they change completely their

Three custom made frax look

good to measure outside of Spain

bigger and the one in my book carves more

small but they are made to change

their appearance are called cariforum and

liquid international favorites and now

lack how hard we material

what the Americans laugh about, not what

they knew

they knew what they laugh at and the

Spanish for Americans because it

put to do your own study of

market

you know that he is very famous in

united states that the second love and the

second coffee is free of many

coffee shops

because that did arrived sat

all three and when he came to the camera and

asked what the gentlemen are going to take

said Fofó

I want the second coffee please one

Spanish waitress who would have done today

is that I’m going in a hurry another responds with

a joke is not there and they explained it to him

gave the instructions no sir give me

the same has not understood you have to

order a coffee and the second coffee

that which is free and clear clear

why we bring the second coffee more than

60 times they made the joke I do not know

they found out and a daughter is not worth

make direct white humor without irony and

to the mess 15 minutes of material for

earn a living

and you know that at the beginning I did not call them

nobody nobody there was a lot of competition and

chicago is a cold and hard city and not

they had nothing to eat

in fact they copy graphic miguel thanks

to the coupons granted by the

charity of the state of illinois and

miliki grandfather got salesman

jewelery at home to get a

hard was dedicated to manufacture or sausages

to sell the neighborhood butchers

to be able to get ahead in one of those

great fights that the

a lot of tension between them one of them

He said then what we do and another

he responded to the street

days and from then on they left

children at school sebastián de

tip in white and went out to the street to

the cafes where I could of artists

contract that will appear until

they got the first contract says

they find the contract with buster keaton

fophyte and other family members do not

descend they adapt their material and their

work and start working live

yes, always spanishing because

those that have to do some

way they were Spanish and their

goal was always to return home from

some way but how do you give identity

children and they are not doing in Cuba

another puerto rico another in mexico no

I knew very well where they were good from

what they do is that all the finals

On Sundays there was Spanish food or

fabada or rice or cocido madrileño or what

that was

Yes, since they arrived from the Caribbean

what we lack on the weekend is food

neither Puerto Rican nor Cuban is this way

we’re

19 years after having left

Spain

my grandfather makes his first trip to

Spain Holiday 68 year of the TV

the programs that are issued and returns and

he tells his brothers Spain is

to enter is to enter the

television is old stale gray

with the red that we have we are going to

raze had a plan

what they did not know was how to execute it

since no one remembered them not

they know nobody in the sector

how to go home

they were thinking about it when the

Argentina contract offers you a

contract for a couple of years to good

airs say if they are installed there

after having recorded discs

have left a fantastic memory

puerto rico and in buenos aires are

mount an exceptional reception

these are them getting off the boat

arriving in Buenos Aires with a

look very similar to the one

we would know about the clowns on TV

It was such success in Buenos Aires was

such that they armed in Argentina that in

two years they made movies they recorded

discs that became discs

most children’s most sold of the

Argentine Republic was such a noise

that went the noise that came the echo

to Spanish television and the

managers three years to find out what

there were some Spaniards or Argentines or

Cubans do not know where very

good and that maybe it would be good

bring them to Spain begin the first

contacts do not finish closing a

agreement

the agreement closes on October 12,

1972

that day there was a reception at the

Spanish Embassy in Argentina , a

embassy in a reception to which

they had called the cream of the

Spaniards who were in Buenos Aires

at that time the Galician circles

the typical Asturians and call gaby

fofó and miliki and also the

government labor minister

Spanish of the time and being there the

Minister congratulates you

congratulations a lot of thanks for the

work that they are doing

you know about the work so

formidable they are doing here in

Argentina

anything please please

from Spain do not hesitate to ask me for life or

he said does not scare the minister of labor and

say then we want work in the

summer of 1973

gaby fofó miliki and fofito debuts in

Spanish television with a contract a

contract of 13 programs would remain

in antenna more than 11 years and the rest is

history

gaby fofó and miliki had vision

they were clear about the plan they from children

they knew that they wanted to become

great clowns from your stay in

America knew that Bolt wanted

home

you have to have a plan because if you do not

normal is that it does not get anywhere

they had innovation capacity thing

that does not have any its competitors

every time a change comes they said that

yes they accepted to do television

that nobody could do and that was

the key to its success and finally a

very great change management every time

that life slapped them

they accepted him and gave him back his life

something in return

they based their success on these three points and

in two fundamental pillars 1

love for work and two love for

his family

gaby fucked miliki and fofito lit up the

childhood plus four generations

of Spanish speakers and they knew that

life is like a circus in which yes

you want people to stand up

you applaud you have to do the most

difficult still

I would like it from now on

also thanks to his example can

illuminate our future and that thanks to

them every time this is a moment

dark of crisis tension that does not

you know what to do

you remember these three brothers who

when they had lost everything they dressed

of tip in white and left to look for

life on the street so that from this

way when it reaches success that all

the hunting is to ask us

how are you and you can

say fine thank you very much

plus
