Guillermo Moreno (Buenos Aires, October 15, 1955)^[1] is an Argentine politician. He currently serves as Secretary of Domestic Trade in President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner's administration, and was appointed in that post by her husband and predecessor, Néstor Kirchner.

Biography[link]

Moreno was an active member of the Peronist Youth in the 1970s, a left-wing branch of the Peronist movement that favoured a social revolution on the lines of the Cuban revolution.^[2] After democracy was re-established in Argentina in 1983, he opened a hardware wholesale store in Buenos Aires and graduated in Economics at the Argentine University of Business (UADE).^[2]

His first Government position was Under-Secretary of Production in the Buenos Aires City Government, under Mayor Carlos Grosso, in the early 1990s.^[2] He later became an assistant to the Trade Secretary during the Presidency of Eduardo Duhalde (2002–2003).^[3]

Moreno became close to Néstor Kirchner before Kirchner reached the Presidency in 2003.^[2] He was one of the members of the Calafate Group, a think-tank created by, among others, Néstor Kirchner himself as a forum to foster heterodox ideas that would revert the neoliberal policies of the 1990s.

During Kirchner's Government, Moreno served as Secretary of Communications for a couple of years, before taking over as Secretary of Domestic Trade, a post he held after Néstor Kirchner was succeeded by his wife, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner on December 10, 2007. Moreno is often referred to as "the cowboy" due to his harsh methods in dealing with corporations and politicians.^[4]

He became the target of nationwide criticism following his removal of Graciela Bevacqua, the chief statistician overseeing the formulation of consumer price data at INDEC, the nation's statistical office,^[5] and other officials who would not agree to understating the inflation rate.^[6][7][8] He allegedly followed these moves by having phones tapped and using other surveillance methods to control internal disagreements at the bureau.^[9]

Moreno has been described as a highly authoritarian, extremely inefficient and incompetent official,^[10] and it has often been argued that he exerts far more influence in national politics than it would be reasonably expected, considering his office as a Secretary, formally subordinated to the Minister of Economics. It is believed his power struggle against former Minister Martín Lousteau was the main reason behind the latter's resignation in April 2008, after a mere four months in office.^[11]

Moreno is separated from his wife, with whom he has a son and a daughter.^[2]

Mallu first came to notice through her MySpace page and became known for both her own songs and those of renowned artists. She found herself gracing the covers of major newspapers such as Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo and Jornal do Brasil, and was featured in Rolling Stone, Istoé, Época among others.

Biography[link]

1992–2007: Before the fame[link]

Mallu is the daughter of a landscape architect and an engineer with a passion for classic rock, which appears as an influence on their musical tastes. Aged eight, Mallu received a guitar from her father and two years later began teaching. At twelve, she began writing songs, mostly written in English.^[1]

On her 15th birthday, Mallu asked her parents and grandparents that their gifts were given in cash. With it, Mallu managed to record four songs in the studio Lucy Sky, and put them on her MySpace page, among which "Tchubaruba", "J1" and the music video "Vanguart" became best known.^[1]

Mallu has received positive criticism in publications such as Rolling Stone,^[2] Trip^[3] and Bravo!,^[4][5] and her music has been praised for its inception, spontaneity, cultural background and her talent for singing and composing both in English and Portuguese. Mallu also sings and composes in French.^[1] She lists her influences as classic rock and folk as well as The Beatles, Belle & Sebastian, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and other similar musical styles.^[1]

Mallu Magalhães was the first artist from Brazil to participate in the design world Sessions MTV and at the same station, had her first clip "J1", as one of the most requested by viewers.^[1]

Mallu plays guitar, harmonica, melodica and banjo.^[1]

2008–2009: First album, tour, and DVD[link]

With concerts selling out across the country, she held a special show for the clothing line Maria Bonita Extra, at Fashion Rio, a major fashion event in Brazil; three concerts in Portugal, one of which at the biggest music festival in the country, Southwest Festival, along with Faith No More and Lily Allen. The songs "J1" and "Tchubaruba" were also used in a national campaign for Brazilian cell phone operator Vivo. ^[6]

Mallu collected appraisals from celebrities and national personalities all over Brazil. She was a special guest at Tom Zé's talk show. Being one of her greatest fans, he declared once:

"I heard the music of Mallu and loved it. I became a fan."^[1]

During the holidays in July 2008, Mallu recorded at AR studios in Rio de Janeiro, where a console analog to the one at British EMI's Abbey Road Studios, analogue tape recorders and rare microphones from the 60s were used, to capture the atmosphere. The production was led by Mario Caldato Jr, who had worked with artists like John Lee Hooker, Beck and Björk, and the album was released independently by the Agencia de Música and Microservice on November 15, 2008.^[1]

Invited by the artist Marcelo Camelo (Los Hermanos), Mallu sang and played the guitar in the song Janta (Marcelo Camelo), which appeared on Camelo's debut album. Both admitted having a relationship after Camelo made a special appearance at Mallu's concert on Morro da Urca in October 2008.^[1]

That same year Mallu was nominated for the Brazilian's MTV Music Awards, running for artist of the year, best new artist and concert of the year, but lost. She spent the year traveling around Brazil and giving numerous concerts, including one at the My Space Music Tour, a gratuitous series of concerts. In early October, she recorded her first live DVD during a concert in São Paulo.^[7]

2009–2010: Second album and tour[link]

In August 2009, Mallu entered the studio again, this time under the direction of renowned producer Kassin (Vanessa da Mata, Caetano Veloso, Mariah Carey) to record her second CD, which was launched on December 8, 2009 Agência de Música/Sony Music with Shine Yellow as the first single. A tour supported the album pair began on January 23, 2010 in the "Festival de Verão de Salvador" in Salvador, Bahia.^[1]
