Más campero que el mate.

Grucho is a typical gaucho, born and raised in Las Lechiguanas island, Argentina. Everything here exists on a fine line between real and surreal. Grucho knows his land palm by palm, literally. His connection to it is deep and visceral, to the point that it's as obvious for him as it is for us to have sensitivity in the extremities of our body. He can feel what is happening on his land. He always knows where his cattle flocks are, when some animal is sick, or exhausted after having tried to free his legs from the quagmire, bent down to drink from the river. He reaches them, sometimes spends days taking care of them, healing them, until they return in strength. He can bring back the horses that roam free in boundless terrain. He uses a whistle and some sung verses, but most of the time they are too far away to have just heard the sound. Yet, assertively, they return. Through these images he introduces us to his world. He welcomes us into his home, into his daily life. He accompanies us to the places where he spends time. He introduces us to his dimension. A little through his figure, a little through his eyes. And a little through his words: Aqui nacì compañero, acqui, ché, me reì. A la orilla del Paranà y del Río del Ibicuy. Crecieron todas mis ansias de campero y islero. Soy el gaucho màs certero que hubo en este lugar. Recorriendo los parajes que usted los ve, por aquì. En la orilla del Paranà y del Rio del Ibicuy.
