Serving gnocchis on the 29th of each month originates from a legend going back to the VIII Century. There lived at that time in Nicosia (Asia Major) a young doctor called Pantaleon who, after converting to Christianity, pilgrimaged throughout northern Italy. There he performed miraculous cures for which he was canonized. On a certain occasion when he asked some Venetian peasants for bread, these invited him to join their humble table. In his gratitude he foretold for them a year of bountiful fishing and harvests. The prophecy came true as well as many other miracles. St. Pantaleon was consecrated, alongside St. Mark, patron saint of Venice. This legend occurred on a 29th., this being the reason why that day is remembered with a simple dish represented by gnocchis. The accompanying ritual of placing money underneath the plate symbolizes the wish for new blessing

La tradición de servir ñoquis los días 29 nace de una leyenda que se remonta al siglo VIII. Vivía entonces en Nicosia (Asia Mayor) un joven médico llamado Pantaleón, quien, tras convertirse al cristianismo, peregrinó por el norte de Italia. Allí practicó milagrosas curaciones por las que fue canonizado. Cierta ocasión en que pidió pan a unos campesinos vénetos, éstos lo invitaron a compartir su pobre mesa. Agradecido, les anunció un año de pesca y cosechas excelentes. La profecía se cumplió y otros muchos milagros. San Pantaleón fue consagrado -a la par de San Marcos- patrono de Venecia. Aquel episodio ocurrió un 29, por tal razón se recuerda ese día con una comida sencilla representada por los ñoquis. El ritual que lo acompaña de poner dinero bajo el plato simboliza el deseo de nuevas dádivas.

Tanghetto: electrotango – Nominated twice for a Latin Grammy (2004-2005)

 

Tanghetto is an Argentine band led by Max Masri (synths and programming) and Diego S. Velázquez (guitars); which was formed in 2001. The name "Tanghetto" (the combination of the words "tango" and "ghetto") is inspired in the "little argentinas", the communities of exiled Argentines overseas.

In the mid 90s, Max Masri (one of the last disciples of the legendary tango composer Virgilio Expósito) went back to Buenos Aires from Germany having lived interesting experiences among Argentine emigrants and brought and idea with him: to create a new musical language. In late 1998 he started working with Diego S. Velázquez and from then on they began recording and producing (in a then nameless project) their first electrotango tracks. In 2001 this idea was revived, with a modern sound, their own compositions and, finally, a good name: Tanghetto was born at last.

The current line-up includes Hugo Satorre (bandoneón), Matías Novelle (acoustic and electronic drums), Gabriel Clenar (piano) and Chao Xu (violoncello and chinese bowed string instrument erhu).
