Tintabrava

Raúl Castro talks in these pages with his alter ego Tintabrava, and from that talk a beautiful and poetic story emerges that reviews the alternatives of a luminous life. Tintabrava's story is also ours. It is the Uruguay of the 60s, football, the Beatles, the neighborhood and the murga. It is student militancy and summers in Solymar. It is the unforgettable territory of childhood, great friends and first loves. It is the work in the factory, the face painted on top of a board and the wandering around the world with a guitar in tow. It is the emotion that arises every step of the way, where victories and failures meet to teach us the most important lesson, the one we keep and transmit. From the childhood of street games to a present that poses challenges at every step, Tintabrava's path is that of the struggle for ideals that evolve over time but remain essentially the same. It is also a review of the fundamental facts of our history as a country, told from the point of view of our neighbor and committed to popular culture.
