# Miguel de Andrés

**Miguel de Andrés Barace** (born 8 October 1957) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a midfielder.

## Club career

Born in Ochagavía – Otsagabia, Navarre, de Andrés joined Athletic Bilbao's youth system, Lezama, in 1975, after reported interest from both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. The Basques paid his previous club 400.000 pesetas, having to spend an additional 5 million if the player made his debut with the first team.

De Andrés returned to his alma mater after two years with the reserves in the lower leagues and one season on loan to CD Castellón in the Segunda División, with the 21-year-old being awarded a chance in the main squad by Helmut Senekowitsch, formerly in charge of the Austria national side. He made his La Liga debut on 9 September 1979, in a 2–1 away defeat against UD Salamanca.

Early into the 1980–81 campaign, the Austrian manager was fired after a 7–1 loss at Real Madrid, but de Andrés kept his place in the starting XI. He would eventually start in every league match he appeared for Athletic, although he rarely played in his preferred position, sweeper, being mostly deployed as a defensive midfielder; under Javier Clemente, he contributed 55 games and four goals as the team won back-to-back domestic leagues.

On 9 February 1983, as Bilbao went on to win the first of its two leagues, de Andrés, who possessed a powerful shot with both legs, scored twice from long range in a 5–2 home win over RCD Español during a heavy snowfall at the San Mamés Stadium. The following year, he started in the Copa del Rey final as his team completed the double after the 1–0 win against Barcelona in Madrid, but was also one of six players suspended – the punishment was later lifted – after the battleground that followed the final whistle, the others being Paco Clos, Diego Maradona, Migueli, Andoni Goikoetxea and Manuel Sarabia.

1986–87, in which legendary player José Ángel Iribar replaced Clemente as head coach, was disastrous for de Andrés: he suffered an injury against Sporting de Gijón in the first matchday, going on to experience several relapses, and was suspended by the club after refusing to appear in a cup match against CD Logroñés; reappearing against Real Madrid in the 31st round, as Bilbao struggled to avoid falling into the relegation group (the competition was, for the first and only time, divided into three groups after the regular season), his knee was shattered after opponent Ricardo Gallego fell on it, and he never appeared for the *Lions* again.

Howard Kendall was appointed Athletic Bilbao's manager in 1987, but de Andrés retired from football after one year in the sidelines aged 31, with 267 official appearances for Athletic (12 goals). Subsequently, he worked for them as a scout.

## International career

De Andrés represented Spain at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, playing all the matches and minutes in an eventual group-stage exit (three draws). Manager José Santamaría used him in the defensive sector alongside Agustín Gajate of Real Sociedad.

Even though he made the list of 40 for the 1982 FIFA World Cup on home soil, with Santamaría again as coach, de Andrés did not make the final cut. After Miguel Muñoz was appointed and Spain qualified for UEFA Euro 1984, he made his full debut on 18 January 1984 in a 0–1 friendly loss with Hungary in Cádiz; three months later, he appeared ten minutes in the match with Denmark (2–1 in Valencia), but was overlooked for the final squad which eventually finished second in France.

# Little Brazil: An Ethnography of Brazilian Immigrants in New York City

***Little Brazil: An Ethnography of Brazilian Immigrants in New York City*** is a 1993 academic book by Maxine L. Margolis, published by Princeton University Press.

## Contents

The initial part of the book describes the immigration process while the second is about acclimation to living in New York City.

The author uses the sidebar to hold research-generated anecdotes to allow the main body to concentrate on her main ideas.

## Reception

Ann E. Biddlecom of Brown University stated it is "recommended reading" for the subject, although she wished some aspects about the lives of the subjects were better developed in the text. She stated that some concepts are repeated in multiple parts of the book.

Jeffrey Lesser of Connecticut College overall praises the book, while his critique of the repeating concepts is, according to him, a "small criticism".

William P. Norris of Oberlin College stated that the "broad" scope of the book was its "strength".

# Little Kern golden trout

The **Little Kern golden trout** (*Oncorhynchus mykiss whitei*) is a brightly colored subspecies of rainbow trout native to the main stem and tributaries of the Little Kern River in Tulare County, California. Together with the California golden trout (the state fish of California) and the Kern River rainbow trout, the Little Kern golden trout forms what is sometimes referred to as the "golden trout complex" of the Kern River basin.

## Taxonomic history

The evolutionary relationships between salmonoids is a matter of ongoing discovery, and there are different opinions about how specific populations should be grouped and named. The same can be said for the Little Kern golden trout, which has experienced several classification revisions since its first formal description.

The Little Kern golden trout was first described as *Salmo Whitei* in 1906 by the biologist Barton Warren Evermann in his book *...The Golden Trout of the Southern High Sierras*. Everman had been sent to the Kern Plateau by Theodore Roosevelt, after Roosevelt's friend Stewart Edward White had expressed concern that the brightly colored trout of the region were at risk of being fished into extinction. Everman named the fish in honor of White's role in its recognition.

In 1989, morphological and genetic studies by Gerald Smith and Ralph Stearley indicated that trouts of the Pacific basin were genetically closer to Pacific salmon (*Oncorhynchus* species) than to the *Salmo*s; brown trout *(Salmo trutta)* or Atlantic salmon *(Salmo salar)* of the Atlantic basin. Furthermore, in 1992 the Little Kern golden trout was then classified as a subspecies of rainbow trout *(Oncorhynchus mykiss)* by Robert J. Behnke. This led to the classification most commonly accepted today; *Oncorhynchus mykiss whitei*.

## Description

The Little Kern golden trout is a brightly colored fish with profuse black spots on the back and tail. The belly and cheeks are typically a bright orange to orange-red. The lower sides of the fish range from a light yellow to bright gold. The back is olive green. The pectoral, pelvic and anal fins are orange with white tips. Unlike many varieties of rainbow trout, but similar to other redband trout and trout in the "golden trout complex", the Little Kern golden trout typically retain into adulthood up to ten parr marks along their sides. There is also often an intermediate row of smaller parr marks occurring above and/or below the main row of parr marks.

Morphologically, the Little Kern golden trout sits somewhat in between the California golden trout and the typical coastal rainbow trout *(Oncorhynchus mykiss irideus)*. Compared to the California golden trout, the brilliance of coloration in the Little Kern golden trout is usually a bit more subdued. Little Kern goldens tend to have more black spots along its back, especially anterior to the caudal peduncle, and onto its head in comparison to California golden trouts. Compared to coastal rainbow trout, Little Kern goldens tend to have fewer, larger, and rounder spots. Little Kern golden trout in their native small stream habitat rarely exceed 12 inches (30 cm) in length and any fish exceeding 10 inches (25 cm) would be considered large.

## Historic range and habitat

Little Kern golden trout historically occupied roughly 100 miles (160 km) of the Little Kern River and its tributaries above a natural waterfall barrier preceding its confluence with the main stem Kern River.

## Conservation

As a result of hybridization with hatchery rainbow trout introduced into its watershed, the Little Kern golden trout as a distinct subspecies experienced a widespread contraction in its range. By the 1960s it was limited to only about 8 miles (13 km) of small headwater streams above three natural barriers. To address the problems of hybridization, planting of non-native trout ceased in the 1950s, and the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) began surveys in 1965 to initiate restoration efforts. Allozyme electrophoretic analyses begun in 1976 at UC Davis ultimately identified, what they thought were six pure populations of Little Kern Golden Trout. Restoration efforts began in 1975 with the first rotenone treatments being used to kill off non-native fish in the historic habitat. After chemical treatments there was a period of restocking of treated waters with pure Little Kern golden trout raised at the Kern River Fish Hatchery near Kernville, California from broodstock collected in the six "pure" populations previously identified. Additional restoration efforts included construction of barriers to the upstream movement of non-native trout, habitat improvement of streams damaged by cattle grazing, public education, and continued monitoring of fish populations, their genetic integrity, and habitat conditions. By 1996, restoration was believed to have been complete.

### Conservation shortfalls

Later studies showed that one of the six populations used to form the Little Kern River golden trout broodstock, clustered genetically with California golden trout and rainbow trout instead of Little Kern golden trout. This study also showed that one individual fish collected as broodstock from Deadman Creek genetically clustered entirely with hatchery rainbow trout reference populations. This individual was likely inadvertently mixed with pure Little Kern Golden trout at the Kern River Fish Hatchery. The consequence of these two oversights meant that fish hybridized with rainbow trout and California golden trout were reintroduced back into Little Kern habitat.

An additional shortfall of the recovery is that the broodstock populations all came from small headwater streams with small individual populations and low genetic diversity. It is likely that the original removal of hybridized fish from the Little Kern Basin, also removed some native Little Kern golden genetic diversity that now cannot be restored. There is concern that the adaptability of the species has suffered as a result leading to an increased risk of extinction from disease or climate change. Furthermore, these populations are markedly divergent from each other; reflecting long isolation and population structure. Future work is needed to determine the extent to which divergent populations should be admixed when trying to expand the species back into its native range.

abstract: Little Linford Wood is a 42.5-hectare (105-acre) nature reserve in Little Linford in the City of Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust. Much of the woodland is young as it was felled in 1980, shortly before the Trust took over the site, but there are also areas of mature oak and ash. In 1998 dormice were introduced, and they live high up in the canopy. Other mammals include stoats and badgers, and there are birds such as great spotted woodpeckers, kestrels and buzzards. Grassy rides provide a habitat for butterflies. The wood is crossed by footpaths from Little Linford, Tathall End and Haversham.

# Listener (band)

**Listener** is an American spoken word rock band from Fayetteville, Arkansas. Originally a hip hop project by Dan Smith, who used the moniker "Listener", it soon evolved into a full-fledged rock band. The current lineup consists of Smith as vocalist, trumpeter, and bassist together with guitarist Jon Terrey and drummer Kris Rochelle.

## History

Listener originally started as a solo underground hip hop project of vocalist Dan Smith beginning with the commercial release of the album *Whispermoon* on Mush Records in 2003. He has also contributed to several collaborative albums with the groups Deepspace5 and Labklik, both of which he is a founding member of.

With his second release *Ozark Empire* in 2005, Smith began his first "Tour of Homes". This consisted almost entirely of traveling from home to home around the United States (the European leg of the tour was titled the "European Tour of Homes") in a grassroots style of touring. The European leg consisted more of performing in standard live music venues as well as houses, coffee shops, art galleries and warehouses. It was also during this period that Smith invited drummer Andrew Gibbens and guitarist Erik Olsen to join him on tour, thus starting the transition away from traditional hip-hop performances toward a live band format. Gibbens and Olsen remained until they departed the band in December 2006. Regardless of using the name Listener for his solo work, Smith decided to continue using the name as the project developed into a live band.

It was during the Tour of Homes in 2005 that Smith met musician Christin Nelson at a house show in Las Vegas, Nevada. After finding out that Nelson played drums, Smith asked him to join the group in June 2007 and the band released the album *Return to Struggleville*.

After a year and a half of touring, Listener released their third studio album, *Wooden Heart*, in July 2010. Later that year after being introduced to the band The Chariot, Smith was asked to collaborate on the song "David De La Hoz" on the album *Long Live*, which released in November 2010.

Listener has since released two LPs: 2013's Time Is a Machine and a concept album in 2018 exploring the lives of famed inventors like Nikola Tesla and Robert Oppenheimer entitled *Being Empty : Being Filled*.

Smith now also works as a talk therapist in Kansas City, Missouri.

The **Little Osage River** is an 88-mile-long (142 km) tributary of the Osage River in eastern Kansas and western Missouri in the United States. Via the Osage and Missouri rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River.

The name was derived from the Osage Nation, whose traditional territory encompassed this area.

## Course

The Little Osage rises in Kansas in northeastern Allen County at the confluence of the North and Middle Forks. The stream flows southeast into Bourbon County where the South Fork joins the stream and the stream turns and flows to the east. The stream turns sharply south. It is crossed by Kansas 65 to the east of Xenia. The stream meanders eastward passing north of Fulton, and under U.S. Route 69, where it enters northwestern Vernon County, Missouri. In Vernon County the stream passes just north of Stotesbury and on to pass under U.S. Route 71 north of Horton and through the Four Rivers Conservation Area and is joined by the Marmaton River.

On the boundary of Vernon and Bates counties, the Little Osage joins the Marais des Cygnes River to form the Osage River, 6 miles (10 km) west of Schell City. The areas to the east of the Marmaton River confluence are within what is now the flooded area of the Harry S Truman Reservoir.

title: Littlewood–Paley theory

abstract: In harmonic analysis, a field within mathematics, Littlewood–Paley theory is a theoretical framework used to extend certain results about L⁲ functions to Lp functions for 1 < p < ∞. It is typically used as a substitute for orthogonality arguments which only apply to Lp functions when p = 2. One implementation involves studying a function by decomposing it in terms of functions with localized frequencies, and using the Littlewood–Paley g-function to compare it with its Poisson integral. The 1-variable case was originated by J. E. Littlewood and R. Paley (1931, 1937, 1938) and developed further by Polish mathematicians A. Zygmund and J. Marcinkiewicz in the 1930s using complex function theory. E. M. Stein later extended the theory to higher dimensions using real variable techniques.

# Littlewood–Paley theory

In harmonic analysis, a field within mathematics, **Littlewood–Paley theory** is a theoretical framework used to extend certain results about *L*2 functions to *L**p* functions for 1 \< *p* \< . It is typically used as a substitute for orthogonality arguments which only apply to *L**p* functions when *p* = 2. One implementation involves studying a function by decomposing it in terms of functions with localized frequencies, and using the Littlewood–Paley *g*-function to compare it with its Poisson integral. The 1-variable case was originated by J. E. Littlewood and R. Paley (1931, 1937, 1938) and developed further by Polish mathematicians A. Zygmund and J. Marcinkiewicz in the 1930s using complex function theory (Zygmund 2002, chapters XIV, XV). E. M. Stein later extended the theory to higher dimensions using real variable techniques.

## The dyadic decomposition of a function

Littlewood–Paley theory uses a decomposition of a function *f* into a sum of functions *f**ρ* with localized frequencies. There are several ways to construct such a decomposition; a typical method is as follows.

If *f(x)* is a function on **R**, and *ρ* is a measurable set (in the frequency space) with characteristic function $\chi \_{\rho }(\xi )$, then *f**ρ* is defined via its Fourier transform

$\hat {f}\_{\rho }:=\chi \_{\rho }{\hat {f}}$.

Informally, *f*ρ is the piece of *f* whose frequencies lie in *ρ*.

If Δ is a collection of measurable sets which (up to measure 0) are disjoint and have union on the real line, then a well behaved function *f* can be written as a sum of functions *f**ρ* for *ρ*  Δ.

When Δ consists of the sets of the form

$$\rho =\[-2^{k+1},-2^{k}\]\cup \[2^{k},2^{k+1}\].$$

for *k* an integer, this gives a so-called "dyadic decomposition" of *f* : Σ*ρ* *f**ρ*.

There are many variations of this construction; for example, the characteristic function of a set used in the definition of *f**ρ* can be replaced by a smoother function.

A key estimate of Littlewood–Paley theory is the Littlewood–Paley theorem, which bounds the size of the functions *f**ρ* in terms of the size of *f*. There are many versions of this theorem corresponding to the different ways of decomposing *f*. A typical estimate is to bound the *L**p* norm of (Σ*ρ* |*f**ρ*|2)1/2 by a multiple of the *L**p* norm of *f*.

In higher dimensions it is possible to generalize this construction by replacing intervals with rectangles with sides parallel to the coordinate axes. Unfortunately these are rather special sets, which limits the applications to higher dimensions.

## The Littlewood–Paley *g* function

The *g* function is a non-linear operator on *L**p*(**R***n*) that can be used to control the *L**p* norm of a function *f* in terms of its Poisson integral. The Poisson integral *u*(*x*,*y*) of *f* is defined for *y* \> 0 by

$$u(x,y)=\int \_{\mathbb {R} ^{n}P\_{y}(t)f(x-t)\\,dt}$$

where the Poisson kernel *P* on the upper half space $\\{(y;x)\in \mathbf {R} ^{n+1}\mid y\>0\\}$ is given by

$$P\_{y}(x)=\int \_{\mathbb {R} ^{n}e^{-2\pi it\cdot x-2\pi |t|y}\\,dt={\frac {\Gamma ((n+1)/2)}{\pi ^{(n+1)/2}{\frac {y}{(|x|^{2}+y^{2})^{(n+1)/2}.}}}}}$$

The Littlewood–Paley *g* function *g*(*f*) is defined by

$$g(f)(x)=\left(\int \_{0}^{\infty }|\nabla u(x,y)|^{2}y\\,dy\right)^{1/2}$$

A basic property of *g* is that it approximately preserves norms. More precisely, for 1 \< *p* \< , the ratio of the *L**p* norms of *f* and *g*(*f*) is bounded above and below by fixed positive constants depending on *n* and *p* but not on *f*.

## Applications

One early application of Littlewood–Paley theory was the proof that if *S**n* are the partial sums of the Fourier series of a periodic *L**p* function (*p* \> 1) and *n**j* is a sequence satisfying *n**j*+1/*n**j* \> *q* for some fixed *q* \> 1, then the sequence *S**n**j* converges almost everywhere. This was later superseded by the Carleson–Hunt theorem showing that *S**n* itself converges almost everywhere.

Littlewood–Paley theory can also be used to prove the Marcinkiewicz multiplier theorem.

# Littlewoods Pools building

The **Littlewoods Pools building**, located in Liverpool, England, was built in 1938 to serve as the headquarters of the Littlewoods football pools enterprise. It overlooks Edge Lane and Wavertree Botanic Park, and its design makes it a prominent landmark.

The building was requisitioned by the government during World War II to house the postal censorship department, and was later used for the manufacture of floors for Halifax bombers. After returning to Littlewoods' ownership, the site was eventually closed in 1994, and now stands empty. A fire in 2018 caused damage to a large part of the interior. However, plans are underway to convert the building into a film studio, which will be tenanted by Twickenham Studios and Liverpool John Moores University.

## Operational history

Littlewoods was a football pools company founded by John Moores in 1923. The company rapidly expanded throughout the 1930s, and the Littlewoods Pools building, opened in 1938, was purpose-built to provide more space for its operations. Designed in the Art Deco style, probably by Scottish architect Gerald de Courcy Fraser, the building is an imposing white-rendered structure consisting of a central clock tower and two long wings terminated by pavilions.

In September 1939, immediately after the outbreak of World War II, the building was requisitioned by the government, becoming the home of the postal censorship department. Its printing presses were also used to print National Registration forms. Later in the war, the building was put to various other uses, including the manufacture of floors for Halifax bombers. In November 1945, the building was handed over to the war casualties department, and was finally released to Littlewoods the following year.

Littlewoods Pools continued to operate out of the building until November 1994, at which time the site was closed and its staff redeployed or made redundant. This was concurrent with the launch of the National Lottery, which immediately became a major rival to the pools industry; the closure of the Edge Lane site was carried out in anticipation of reduced profits as a result of this new competition.

## Regeneration project

In May 2016, the two pavilions facing Edge Lane were decorated with large art murals in celebration of Liverpool's creative industry.

In June 2018, developers Capital & Centric announced plans to convert the abandoned Littlewoods building into a studio complex for film and television, with Twickenham Studios expected to take over part of the space. On 2 September, a fire broke out inside the building, causing damage to the roof and upper floor of the west wing. The structure of the building remained sound, however, and Capital & Centric said that the regeneration project would go ahead. Further delay was caused by the need to establish training systems for potential employees. In 2020, Liverpool John Moores University was signed up as the education partner for the new studio, and its second permanent tenant.

In July 2020, the developers secured an £11 million grant from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority for the creation of two temporary studios on the land adjoining the Littlewoods building. Known as "The Depot", these studios were opened in October 2021.

Remediation work on the main buildings commenced in December 2023, in lieu of work in summer 2024 which will see the creation of two new 20,000 square foot studios on site. In June 2024, the landmark clocktower was demolished for safety reasons, with plans to rebuild.

# Liu Huang A-tao

**Liu Huang A-tao** (1923  1 September 2011) was a Taiwanese activist. She was one of thousands of women from Japanese occupied Taiwan who were forced into sexual slavery as comfort women by the Japanese military during World War II. Liu Huang became the first Taiwanese woman to sue the Japanese government for compensation and a public apology in 1999, a move which united her with eight other comfort women survivors. Her public campaign and push for compensation earned her the nickname **Grandma A-tao**.

## Biography

### World War II captivity

Liu Huang, who was 19 years old at the time, entered into the Japanese nursing corps in 1942 during World War II. She was promised work as a nurse in the medical field for the Japanese forces, but instead was pressed into sexual slavery as a comfort woman for Japanese troops. Liu Huang was sent to Indonesia where she was immediately forced to work at a battlefield brothel as a comfort woman as soon as she disembarked from the transport ship. She was seriously wounded during heavy fighting just three days after her arrival in Indonesia. Liu Huang had to have a hysterectomy owing to the extent of her injuries. She survived, but was forced to work as a comfort woman for the Japanese for the next three years, despite her extensive wounds.

### Post-War

Liu Huang returned to Taiwan in 1945 after the Surrender of Japan and the end of World War II. However, she kept experiences as a comfort woman a secret following the war. Liu Huang married a retired Taiwanese soldier and adopted a child with her husband. However, her experience as a comfort woman left a deep emotional scar.

### Activism

The experiences of survivors of the comfort women program were largely ignored for decades in post-war Asia. The issue finally emerged into the public sphere during the 1980s, when a group of survivors in neighboring South Korea filed several lawsuits against the Japanese government. Documents were uncovered in 1991 which forced the Japanese government to issue an apology and "remorse to all those, irrespective of place of origin, who suffered immeasurable pain and incurable psychological wounds" to Korean comfort women.

Liu Huang, who had remained largely silent about her own experiences for decades, was encouraged by the actions of the former South Korean comfort women. In 1995, Japan tried to quietly pay former comfort women compensation for war crimes committed against them through a program called the "Asian Women's Fund". Most survivors refused the private offer. That same year, Liu Huang, who was inspired by the South Korean legal movement, began meeting other Taiwanese survivors through the Taipei Women's Foundation, an organization aimed at advocating the rights of former comfort women.

In 1999, Liu Huang became the first former Taiwanese comfort woman to file an international lawsuit against the Japanese government and publicly demand an apology for her forced imprisonment and sexual slavery during the war. Her lawsuit united her with eight fellow Taiwanese comfort women survivors. When asked about her experience, she replied, "It is not us, but the Japanese government that should feel ashamed," echoing the slogans of the South Korean women who had sued during the 1980s.

Each of Liu Huang's lawsuits were dismissed in the Japanese courts, beginning in 2002 with the loss of her first case. In an interview about the dismissals, Liu Huang told a journalist, "We are all cherished daughters in the eyes of our parents. Since the Japanese army robbed us of our virginity, it is not too much to demand an apology from such a government." The Taipei Women's Rescue Foundation, which supported Liu Huang, changed tactics and collaborated with legal groups in Japan and South Korea to advocate for legislation in the Diet to address the comfort women's grievances. The proposal for compensation was introduced to parliament by the Democratic Party of Japan, which was the main opposition party at the time, but the legislation was defeated. Liu Huang's most recent lawsuit was filed in 2010 in Tokyo and the case is still pending, as of September 2011.

Liu Huang died from a heart attack on 1 September 2011, at the age of 90. Her death left just ten surviving Taiwanese comfort women, awaiting an apology. Her funeral was held on 10 September 2011, in the southern city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The city of Taipei has announced plans to build a memorial to the women in Datong District, Taipei.

**Little Town** is a hamlet in the civil parish of Above Derwent, in the Allerdale district of Cumbria, England. It is in the Workington constituency of the United Kingdom Parliament. Prior to Brexit in 2020 it was part of the North West England constituency of the European Parliament.

Little Town is in the Lake District National Park. It is in the Newlands Valley, separated from Derwent Water to the east by the summit of Catbells. The hamlet is about 5+12 miles (9 kilometres) by road from Keswick.

## History

The tiny 16th-century Newlands Church is about 500 yards (450 metres) west of Little Town. William Wordsworth visited this church in 1826 while on a walking tour of the fells, and that he was so impressed by his first glimpse of the church through half-opened leaves that he wrote a stanza in his poem *To May*.

Children's author and illustrator Beatrix Potter set *The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle* (1905) in and around Little Town.

# Litto Nebbia

**Félix Francisco Nebbia Corbacho**, better known as **Litto Nebbia** (born 21 July 1948) is an Argentine singer-songwriter, musician and producer, prominent in the development of the early Argentine rock scene.

## Life and work

Litto Nebbia was born in 1948 in Rosario, Santa Fe to Martha Corbacho and Félix Nebbia, two musicians. During his early teens, Litto left high school to join a friend, keyboardist Ciro Fogliatta, in a band: "The Wild Cats". The duo moved to Buenos Aires in 1963, and lived hand-to-mouth in a Balvanera ward tenement. They appeared in a television show, *Escala Musical*, a number of times, and became regulars at a popular neighborhood club, *La Cueva*, one of the cradles of Argentine rock.

Nebbia and Fogliatta formed "Los Gatos" in 1966. The group became known for their all-night performances, and composed most of their own songs, many in the well-known neighborhood café, "La Perla del Once" (facing Plaza Miserere). One such composition, *La balsa* (*The Raft*), was written at that location by Nebbia and the ill-fated songwriter Tanguito on May 2, 1967, and following its release on the RCA Victor label on July 3, sold over 250,000 copies.

The album, which also included Moris Birabent's *Ayer nomás* (*Just Yesterday*) was the first local rock production to outsell either American or British rock titles locally, and the milestone became known as the birth of Argentine rock. The Argentine edition of *Rolling Stone Magazine*, in a 2007 retrospective, named the melancholy *La balsa* number one in the list of the 100 best albums in Argentine rock. Commercially, the album rescued the struggling group. Invited to perform the hit on television following its release, the group could only see themselves when the show aired at the kindness of an appliance store owner, who tuned a window display set to the program at their request.

Controversy ensued shortly after the hit's release however. A contentious debate soon arose as to whether Nebbia or Tanguito had contributed more to the composition (particularly after the latter's tragic, 1972 death). La balsa also aggravated officials in General Juan Carlos Onganía's conservative dictatorship, who stopped short of banning a song they believed encouraged escapism and drug abuse, but retaliated by shuttering La Cueva, whose stage had become the focal point for local rock groups (including Los Gatos). The band itself began losing cohesion, as well: guitarist Kay Galiffi relocated to Brazil, and Nebbia left the group in 1969; by 1970, Los Gatos had dissolved.

Nebbia began a solo career with RCA Records, and his first album, *Litto Nebbia*, benefited from having a number of its tracks included in local filmmaker Julio Porter's *El extraño de pelo largo* (*The Long Haired Stranger*). His work drew from the folklorical Chacarera genre in 1971 and 1972, and in 1973, he founded the Litto Nebbia Trio, whose repertoire centered on jazz. Nebbia produced folk rock duo Pastoral's *En el hospicio* (*In the Hospice*) in 1975, enjoying success in his first foray into record production.

The advent of a new dictatorship in 1976, and his subsequent intimidation and detainment, forced Nebbia to seek exile in Mexico, however. He remained creatively productive in exile, and released some of his most successful albums during this era, including *Canciones para cada uno* (*Songs for Each of You*) in 1978, and *Sólo se trata de vivir* (*It's Only About Living*), in 1981. Expecting a daughter, Miranda, and heartened by an improving civil liberties climate, Nebbia returned to Argentina in 1982.

His return was followed by the *Rosariazo*, a May 1983 concert in which he was joined by chanteuse Silvina Garré, Juan Carlos Baglietto, and Fito Páez, among others; his 1986 release, *Demasiadas maneras de no saber nada* (*Too Many Ways to Know Nothing*), was his fiftieth. Martha Nebbia, his mother, had recently converted a former Villa Urquiza shoe store into her new residence, and invited her son to install a recording booth there. Reunited with Salvador Barresi, the recording engineer from his days with Los Gatos, they improved and equipped the ad hoc space, which was opened as a recording studio in 1988, and which Barresi named *El Nuevo Mundo* ("The New World").

El Nuevo Mundo Studios led to Nebbia's 1989 establishment of Melopea Records, which he named after both the Ancient Greek music theory, and his own, 1974 album of that name. Melopea Records became known for discovering and promoting new talents, as well as producing unreleased tango compositions from decades earlier. Some of these latter included works by consular figures in the genre, such as Juan Carlos Cobián, Enrique Cadícamo, and Roberto Goyeneche. Nebbia was named Illustrious Citizen of Buenos Aires in 2002.

Los Gatos, save for drummer Oscar Moro (who had died a year earlier), were reunited for a revival in 2007. Nebbia presented a nine disc anthology of Argentine rock in 2010, and hosted a gathering of fellow Argentine rock greats on 9th of July Avenue as part of official celebrations of the Argentina Bicentennial. Two of the most influential in the genre, Charly García and Luis Alberto Spinetta, acknowledged Nebbia and Los Gatos as inspirations for their own beginnings.
