Without being any date indicated in the life, birth or death of Raffaella Carra, on Wednesday TVE-1 dedicated a ‘Blood ties’ to him. Well, it’s not reprehensible.
the memory of Raffaella it is indelible. Perched on a TV set, she was a total artist. She has left us a friendly, cheerful, enormously attractive and dynamic mark. She dominated the cameras just by looking at them. She got into our houses and gave us good vibes and her enthusiasm.
Now that he is gone, it is difficult to find anyone with his hook in the current audiovisual scene. The most interesting part of this ‘Blood Ties’ was when they used the archive and gave us small samples of their long and versatile time on TVE. Everything else, the gossip, the opinions, the ‘pour parler’ of a few invited guests who were there to fill out the evening, has been superfluous, leftover.
The good thing was the material that TVE has –they should have played more– from ‘Hello Raffaella’, ‘A las ocho con Raffaella’, ‘Contigo’, ‘Salvemos Eurovisión’ (that year, 2008, was the one of Chikilicuatre’s despiporren), until the last program he did, the anniversary gala of the 60 years of existence of TVE.
Of all the gatherings, opinion-makers and minced chatter, I’m left with what the accredited ‘vedette’ said Norm Duval: “Until it came Raffaella, or you were a singer, or you were a dancer, or you were a presenter. The cocktail, she made it.” Effectively. The total ‘show-woman’. She is not a singer, she is not a dancer, she is not a presenter, she is not an interviewer, but do not miss her, as she once said of lola flowers an American critic.

I really liked the moment of that ‘Hello Raffaella’ (January 26, 1994), when Santiago Carrillo visited the program. I have reviewed it in its entirety. She asked him: “What does it mean to be a communist now that communism no longer exists?” he had a hard time don Santiago to answer this question. But he made up for it when they talked about the general strike, called for the next day, January 27. Cheek he exclaimed: “I am addressing the workers. If you want to defend your interests, you have to go on strike!” and looking at Raffaella He added: “Either the strike is defended, or they will end up snacking on it.”
oh! She got Cheek a colossal feat: he used TVE, and a program with such an audience as ‘Hello Raffaella’, to make a fiery call for proletarian mobilization.
