Rodolfo "Fito" Sáenz Ávalos, popularly known as Fito Páez (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈfito ˈpaes]; born March 13, 1963) is an Argentine popular rock and roll pianist, lyricist, singer-songwriter and film director.

Biography

Early career

Paez was born in Rosario, Santa Fe Province; his real name is Rodolfo Saenz, like his father. When he was a child people called him "Rodolfito" (in Spanish, an affectionate form of "Rodolfo") to distinguish him from his father. With the passage of time, this nickname became just "Fito", and that is where his stage name came from.

He formed Staff, his first band when he was 13. In 1977, he played in El Banquete with Rubén Goldín and Jorge Llonch. He began to perform solo in pubs the following year.

Straight out of high school, he began touring with several bands and soon after that produced his first solo album, "Del '63", which was released in 1984. It was promoted first in his home town, but later earned attention in Buenos Aires. The recording was put together with the help of some of Argentina's most prominent musicians, including Daniel Wirtz, Fabián Gallardo, Tweety González and Paul Dourge. The disc won him critical acclaim as a songwriter and helped lead to future projects, including a 1985 album, "Giros".

En Vivo (programadora)

En Vivo (known as Nuevos Días TV from 1995 until the end of 1997) was a Colombian programadora that operated between 1995 and 2001. Its main productions were the morning program En vivo (1995-96), the interview program by the same title (1996-97), and the newscasts En vivo 9:30 (evening) and En vivo 6:30 (morning) that aired on Canal A from 1998-2001.

History

Rise

Nuevos Días/En Vivo stands out as a programadora that commenced operations in the middle of a concession period, not at the start of a new licitación, beginning broadcasting on Tuesday, March 21, 1995. This is because in the period 1995-96, Inravisión experimented with 24-hour broadcasting for its two commercial channels. This was nowhere near a financial success for any of the involved parties; all four morning news programs (En vivo, Buenos Días Colombia and programs from Caracol and RCN) were losing money.

However, further off-cycle events propelled the rise of this company on Cadena Uno. When Producciones Cinevisión, one of the largest programadoras on that channel, folded, its spaces went to a licitación to be re-awarded to participating applicants. In this bidding, Nuevos Días was one of the biggest winners, gaining the weeknight slot for its new interview program and several other spaces used to broadcast everything from a program about myths to a musical program, Vía Libre.

En Vivo (Selección Nacional de Tango album)

En Vivo is a live recording made on the 26 and 27 August 2005 in ND Ateneo, Buenos Aires, Argentina by the Selección Nacional de Tango a reunion of some of the best-known tango performers in the country with the musicians alternating between the roles of performer and arranger, which is unusual in tango.
