Song to the challenge want to be world heritage sites – publico

                 


                         
                     

                 

 
                         

The House of Vila Verde, in Braga District, is committed to applying the songs to the challenge Minho the Intangible Heritage of Humanity. The project is still in embryo, but the president of Green Village Hall, the Social Democrat Antonio Vilela, is confident that the application will succeed and that after the fado and the Alentejo sing, UNESCO will devote even the tradition of si nging to the challenge, whose roots remontarão the tensions of Galician-Portuguese medieval troubadours, kind of lyrical duels, usually scorn and cursing.

                     


                         The suggestion of applying the songs to the challenge came from Carlos Silva, the group communication and advertising Ideas Five, owner of the newspaper The Vilaverdense . “In the newspapers and on the radio maintain regular contacts with popular singers, and that’s where the idea came,” he explains. “We are at the root of it, but for the application have legs to walk needs a support base that escapes our level,” adds Carlos Silva, being satisfied by the accession of Vila Verde Chamber who “embraced the project and has longer a municipal technical working on it. “

Mayor of Vila Verde confirms what is the” create a team with people who have studied this tradition and can help begin developing the application. ” Antonio Vilela notes that the songs to the challenge “are very much alive” in Minho, and the instrument that normally accompanies the concertina, has more supporters.

Vilela is still committed to bringing together institutions of “various lands” that preserve this tradition, which has “special characteristics” in Minho, but which exists in other regions of the country, particularly in the Douro Litoral and Beira Alta. There will, however, be envisaged in a joint bid with Galicia, as happened in 2005, when an organizing committee comprising Galicia and northern Portugal institutions tried the “Galician-Portuguese oral tradition” was recognized by the UNESCO.

Among many other dimensions, the popular literature to festivals, and language systems to forms of culture related to maritime or agricultural resources, the 2005 application encompassed singing to the challenge, which in Galicia are called “regueifas” because traditionally took place in popular festivals and weddings in which consumed this type of bread.

UNESCO even praised the expertise of the 2005 application, but rejected it, with the main objection to his Excessive amplitude. Hence, this time, emphasizes Antonio Vilela, the aim is to bet on something “more specific” proposing “only sing to the challenge.”

Unlike “regueifas” Galician, already in 2005 were at risk of extinction, singing the Minho challenge cross a vigorous phase. “There is a new generation of singers,” said Carlos Silva, and “in any popular festival is a point of honor that there singing to the challenge, even if not come up to the stage.” And Antonio Vilela adds that, “Sunday in the county seats, it is customary join concertina players, and always comes someone to sing to the challenge.”

And if a few years ago “who sang the challenge was ordinary people, “said Carlos Silva,” now appear people with studies and, in many cases, only live it. ” Artists who run the Portuguese festivals and are also invited to perform in popular festivities organized by Portuguese communities in the world. Perhaps aware that this new phenomenon, which on the one hand keeps the tradition alive, but then takes off some of their spontaneity, can not benefit from the application, the Green Village mayor argues that it is not singing to the challenge that is become a professional, planned and rehearsed show, but rather some of its interpreters, who “also sing on stage and record players.”

The singers the Portuguese challenge have affinities with repentistas from Brazil or Colombia, or with the Argentines and Uruguayans payadores. In all cases, it is two or more singers / versifying and cause it challenge. But the Portuguese stray, to the relief it gives to the topic of sex, or with its insistence on strophic form of the court, to name just two of its many features, configure a unique tradition that this application in motion will now have to document.

«Exodus: Gods and Kings’ banned in Egypt and Morocco (with video) – The Ball

Moses is a figure mentioned numerous times in human history. The prophet is revealed important not only to Jews but also to Muslims. Your life has already led to several film productions, but this time is leading to great controversy

In Egypt and Morocco, the film “Exodus: Gods and Kings.”, Ridley Scott’s authors – the same director of film ‘Gladiator’ – was censored. How Come? The kingdom of Morocco did not appear any official explanation. However, on the Egyptian side is a different story.

Quoted by the newspaper The Watan , the charge of the Committee of Censorship of the Ministry of Culture of Egypt, Abdel Sattar Fathi, who said Biblical feature film presents a “distorted” view of the prophet and contains’ historical fallacies. ” In the movie, Moses – played by actor Christian Bale – emerges as a general.

In addition, the fact that the slaves coming from Promised Land are presented as the builders of the Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza is indignant Egypt. After all, is historically accepted by the vast majority, that the construction of these monuments, as iconic of the Pharaonic period, occurred before the existence of Abraham and therefore the coming of the Jewish people to Egypt.

Alberta Adams died, the queen of the Detroit blues – publico

                 


                         
                     


                         
                     

                 

 
                         

“Just like a blues”, yesterday wrote Detroit Free Press in the first line of text that announced to the world of Alberta Adams death, the dean of the blues of a city proudly blue -collar : “He was born in the July heat, died on Christmas Day.” But it’s not a blues, is the life of Alberta Adams, the American singer who was born Roberta Louise Osborne in Indianapolis, on a hot day of summer 1917, and who died on Thursday morning, succumbing to years of heart failure , said in a statement to its publisher, Eastlawn, cited by Billboard , adding that the funeral will take place between Monday and Tuesday in Swansea Funeral Home in Detroit, and the funeral will leave at 11 am Wednesday -Thurs of Bethel Baptist Church.

                     


                         Alberta Adams was 97 and was admitted to a rehabilitation unit in Dearborn since last week: it was not expected to recover, but also would not be totally unthinkable that to happen, in the case as it was an artist with more than one life to live. “God put me in this world to sing blues,” he told Free Press in 1999, just at the second peak of late career that took her on tour throughout the North American continent. “It was the last of the old blues singers guard of the great post-war voices that have left their mark in the 40′s,” said RJ Spangler, manager and producer of Alberta Adams.

It was not easy, the way there. Alcoholic mother’s daughter, Roberta Louise still moved up a child to Detroit, where she was raised by an aunt. “She knew she had to do something, it had to be someone. This urgency of doing things had to do with the fact that it had absolutely nothing while to grow,” he told Billboard the his former promoter, Matt Lee. His artistic career began in the 20s, when did tap dance in a nightclub a black neighborhood of Detroit, the Black Bottom. Shortly later he was to make his debut as a singer, replacing the head-to-Poster Club B and C and winning a five-year contract, but it took over a decade to be discovered by a Chicago publisher, Chess Records with which turned out to record several singles . The title “Queen of the Blues” came later, when the master of ceremonies of his first concert at the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York, presented the so spontaneously. It was in that capacity that opened for musicians like Duke Ellington, Louis Jordan, John Lee Hooker and T-Bone Walker. “He knew everybody and had a great sense of decorum and that meant working in the entertainment industry. He used to tell that once Billie Holiday had struck him in the head to see her chewing gum one in the dressing room.”

“Professional to the end”, Alberta Adams continued to act in the mid-90′s when Spangler rescued the relative anonymity it was in, like other blues veterans of Detroit, including the now defunct Johnnie Bassett and Joe Weaver. The new band which started to present themselves relaunched to an international career and allowed him to record two more albums ( Born With The Blues in 1999, and Say Baby Say , a year later), the first since the 60′s “Amused is immense. Never grumbled, never denied anything in a concert, was always willing to meet his admirers and to thank them at the end. sometimes spent more than eight or ten hours in a van and even then she left everything when it came to the stage, “said Spangler to Detroit Free Press .

In 2008, already severely weakened after a fall and subsequent hospitalizations, Alberta recorded his latest album, Detroit Is My Home (Eastlawn Records), which succeeded the previous I’m On The Move , 2004. “He had a way of singing and a distinctive prosody. He could pick up a standard the blues and make it your own, without giving too many influences . It was completely itself, “recalls Spangler.

undisputed Queen of Detroit blues, Alberta Adams seems to leave a huge void in a city already demoralized by the devastating economic crisis of recent years. “There was always a friendly word or an encouragement to give to newcomers. It was a real gem in a very ugly business. It leaves a huge space that can never be truly fulfilled,” he told Billboard Steve Allen, Detroit Blues Society.

Egypt and Morocco prohibit Exodus: Gods and Kings – publico

                 


                         
                     

                 

 
                         

Exodus: Gods and Kings , the biblical mega-production of Ridley Scott, to the taste of the big Hollywood studios, will no longer pass the cinemas of Egypt and Morocco. The authorities of these two countries have banned the screening of the film that recreates the life of Moses and the deliverance of the Jewish people in ancient Egypt even the day before the premiere. Reason? Rab at did not elaborate, but merely to inform the owners of the rooms that they should cancel all sessions through the State that controls the film industry, the Moroccan Cinema Center. In Cairo, the censorship committee of the Ministry of Culture based much of their decision on the fact that the new production that Moses as the central figure. According to Islamic tradition, any representation of the prophet is considered offensive, recalled on Thursday the newspaper online The Cairo Post .


                     


                         In a statement released by the Egyptian press, the committee responsible for this censorship, Abdel Sattar Fathi, notes, however, that the prohibition is not only a religious reasons: “The film contains historical fallacies. That’s why we had to ban it without even consulting any other body. “


Who reads the document Ministry of Egyptian Culture realizes effortlessly that there is a mix of reasons behind the decision: the authorities criticize Ridley Scott and his team for turning the prophet – this version Moses is played by Christian Bale – in general; in attributing the separation of the waters in the Red Sea – “a miracle mentioned in the Koran and that is not negotiable” – an earthquake; and for presenting the Jewish slaves as the builders of the Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza Plateau, where is accepted by most that historically, these monuments have been erected around 2540 BC, about 500 years before the biblical tradition to account the existence of Abraham, the Hebrew patriarch.

Abdel Sattar Fathi still denies that Scott’s spend a “distorted” image of the Egyptians, presenting them as “demagogues” intent on pursuing and torture Jews.

This decision was expected in Egypt, observers say, after earlier this year, the same committee have prevented Noah , film directed by Darren Aronofsky with Russell Crowe as the protagonist, came to the rooms.

It would not be surprising that the same representation of Moses, also important figure for Muslims, was at the base of the ban decreed by Rabat. In some cases, the ban was communicated to exhibitors few hours before the premiere and accompanied by threats of closure of rooms case insisted on passing the new epic, reports the Spanish newspaper ABC .

dispute Movie

This is not the first time that Exodus: Gods and Kings opens the debate. In the days before the premiere in the United States, Rupert Murdoch, the boss of the distributor of the film, the 21st Century Fox and Ridley Scott himself had to come forward to defend their choices to the list.

It is a strong movement in social networks called for the boycott of the epic in that all relevant papers – the main concern figures of the Middle East and North Africa – have been given to white actors. The black and Asian performers, defended, can be found only among the extras, the servants and slaves.

“Moses film was attacked on Twitter because of its white cast,” Murdoch wrote in November in your account this social network. “Since when did the Egyptians are not white? All I know are. “

At the same time, the director went on to say that if he had made other choices, would hardly have convinced studios to invest in new production. “I can not mount a film with this budget (…) and say that my main actor is the Mohamed-don’t-know-the-many of what’s-of-where. Simply could not finance, “said the magazine Variety .

But the popular movement insisted and reminded Scott and the American film industry that would not take up their minds black actors which usually ensure blockbusters such as Denzel Washington and Will Smith to play as Presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Why do it then with biblical figures of the Middle East and North Africa?
