The Agudelos in Los Angeles

The cousins ​​abroad

The cousins ​​are none other than the children of aunts, and uncles of course, are the brothers of your father, to say nothing new here

But how are told to the children of your cousins? Well nephews too! Therefore the cousin of your father or mother must call uncle.

That's okay, but here in Colombia there are infinitely many primes, for example, is the cousin to enter, so we argue that familiarity to enter somewhere:

- I am so and so's cousin. - He says the doorman.

And we can go to the office of President.

Other well-known are the cousins ​​of the bride of the breakers,

And who was that my love?

'That was a cousin, my life. - She replies.

And as for twenty laid horn.

There are others who are in the soul and the baptized cousins ​​because we have no relationship, as are the children of neighboring lifelong friend of the neighborhood or that the holder to be as high as possible, because it is more than a brother and not to give explanations, we looked for common family and get to Adam and Eve.

Every Colombian has a cousin abroad, whether poor or rich, black, mestizo, Indian, white of any state and especially the Eje  Cafetero, a region that stands out because their babies are rather restless and not satisfied, the each with its extreme poverty and others who, having money does not want to live in their homeland.

Or as in the case that comment, be forced to live in America because the weather does not like Colombia.

I have an Uncle, or had, he left for America, not to seek his fortune, because I had it, was sound engineer's Voice Café in Pereira, Radio Sutatenza, New World (now Caracol) in Bogota, Agudelo name Humberto Pereira Colombia-born son of Mary Morales and Rafael Agudelo and married to Juliet

Of them was Jorge born in Colombia Rafael, Victoria and Alexander in US. Today is George Humberto Jorge Agudelo, Ralph is Ralph and Victoria Agudelo Agudelo is Vicky. They lived well in Pacific Palisades and Santa Monica very exclusive areas of Los Angeles California. They see the profile in Universities and sure to be good professionals.

The first child of this marriage, Jorge, was allergic to Colombian climate, according to medical opinion the child could not live at home. So the guy was forced to move to Los Angeles and start living in United States. What the family is told in the beginning of this character is beyond epic, did everything, until he managed to link up again as a sound engineer in Hollywood, sent photos out there performing as such in an impressive study. We know that he was linked with the UA (United Artists), also if you put the Google search on Bert Agudelo find his discography in which Vicky Carr stands in its infancy.

Meanwhile in Colombia, Maria Morales Agudelo Bert's mother, grandmother of George, Ralph, Vicky and Alexander Agudelo were starving in the midst of economic difficulties. . Humberto's mother or Bert Agudelo Agudelo, a wake was made eight days waiting for the son of United States came to see her off.

There was this family that ninety-nine percent of immigrants in U.S.: solidarity with those left in their homeland.

And if they came to Colombia a few days after the funeral. So I met them. I asked them to help me pay for the burial of his mother (my grandmother) and her son Bert told me not reached the dollars because they went on vacation to the Caribbean, it was an illusion too big for that family. Of course, he celebrated a Mass sung to the dead mother, to whom did not attend. The night before had celebrated and danced in a nightclub in Bogota with Gilberto Diossa. I saw them at the airport, George, Ralph, Vicky and Bert Agudelo, that was the last time.

They say that Humberto or Bert returned to Colombia, I do not know how many opportunities. If I refer to the great nights of drug with some models got this character, until he lost consciousness, that was in Medellin, where his cousin Gilberto Diossa (remember him?). I think at that time was when he was arrested and imprisoned for wanting to enter the U.S. drug to that country.

I've seen my cousins ​​on Facebook, I sent a greeting. Of course I have not responded.

Because the cousin is that friend that is carried in the soul, not the son of your uncle's drug addict who was not able to arrive on time at his mother's funeral, much less pay for going on vacation to the Caribbean
