 Puente de la Mujer Buenos Aires by Santiago Calatrava
In its design, Puente De La Mujer is somewhat related to the Alamillo Bridge in Seville in its radical asymmetry and expressive tension, though its scale and angles are admittedly less grandiose and its asymmetry is reversed from the Seville bridge.
Added to that list was Puente De La Mujer, which was seen as a symbol of a new era in Argentine history, and the new millennium.
Puente de la Mujer is located in Puerto Madero, only a few blocks directly behind (east of) the "Casa Rosada", which is the President's palace.

 Sundial Bridge at Turtle Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2004 at a cost of US$23,000,000.
Similar to his earlier (1992) design (the Puente del Alamillo in Seville, Spain), this subtype uniquely does not balance the forces by using a symmetrical arrangement of cable forces on each side of the tower; instead it uses an angled cantilever tower loaded by cable stays on only one side.
This requires that the spar resist bending and torsional forces and that its foundation resists overturning.

Puente grew up in Harlem, and his jazz chops are in full effect on his vintage, cornerstone Afro-Cubop takes on Billy Strayhorn's "Take the A Train," "Tuxedo Junction," and "That Old Devil Moon." --Eugene Holley Jr.

 Rosco : Bendita la Fe - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
One Latin pop/pop-rock artist who uses a variety of Latin (as well as non-Latin) music to his creative advantage is Rosco, whose excellent Bendita La Fe finds Desmond Child (known for his work with Bon Jovi and Alice Cooper) serving as executive producer.
A Cuban-American from Miami, Rosco brings a strong salsa influence to "El Pegaito," "Cosas De la Mujer" and "Dejare." But salsa is hardly his only inspiration; for Rosco, elements of Brazilian samba (especially Bahia's tropicalismo school), Spanish nuevo flamenco and Colombian vallenato are also fair game.
Carlos Santana is a definite influence on Rosco, and the singer certainly hasn't escaped Sting's influence either.
