Dudamel watch

The hype! The hair! The “dude”!

Along the way the orchestra established a breathless minisite devoted to Mr. Dudamel on its Web site, laphil.com. It features a Bravo Gustavo computer game akin to Guitar Hero and an application that allows the movement of an iPhone to shape music coming out of it. A famous hot-dog stand, Pink’s, put up a banner welcoming him and created a Dudamel Dog (guacamole, cheese, fajita mix, jalapeño peppers, tortilla chips). “60 Minutes” is working on its third segment featuring him.
