Hello! said Richie. And everyone traveled by age 80 – Daily News – Lisbon

He drank, played, jumped, danced and sang that tired, indifferent age 66 made last month. First Lionel Richie said “Hello” and only later released in English as “Goodnight Lisbon”, that no one in Poets Park in Oeiras led to evil.

But from the first moment of the concert, already started was after 22:30 on Thursday, there was the call for assistance into a sort of time machine and travel to the 80s.

And so imitated the voice and gestures of Stevie Wonder, challenged women present to enter into a duet with him as if they were Diana Ross (“Ross Dianas 40,000″ singing Endless Love , said with obvious exaggeration) and did not fail to speak of the “friend” Michael Jackson, with who wrote We Are the World , the mythical song that closed the concert, even on midnight.

Lionel Richie in EDPcooljazz: King Lionel, 80s and overseas – Digital Journal


 
 A great view of Glastonbury to Oeiras, Lionel Richie and his band the classic parade behind classics with pleasure and dignity. Or lacked an epic end to retrieve the song of solidarity songs, “We Are The World.” That night, Lionel!

A well-there is the prosecutor who remembered to bring Lionel Richie on stage of Glastonbury Pyramid. The singer took the opportunity to star in an artistic resurrection which earned him a euphoric reception at the legendary English festival, the videos of the performance became viral, especially one in which was seen by the guards in front of the stage to enter a choreography during ” Dancing on the Ceiling “! The consecration of unexpected echoes were strong and even took Lionel back to the top of record sales in England, had not happened for 23 years.

Suddenly to see Lionel Richie among us has become an unlikely gift . The EDPcooljazz nailed to choose it for the penultimate night of the festival, the people answered the nostalgic appeal and filled the Municipal Stadium in Oeiras.

All the expectations even higher, they were quickly overcome by the presence of a singer who brings to the stage the whole pose of typically American artist. Its own very strong character of Las Vegas casinos, always in a good mood, easy smile to show that you are having fun as much or more than we do, effective communication with the audience, concern not let anyone sitting, and a parade without hesitation their greatest hits.

Fun interspersed the songs with an ever funny speech, walked dating a glass that seemed to contain rosé wine. The first attempts drank but proved to be always unconvinced with the flavor until the time came when he sent down a full glass in one breath. Before had already said it was better not to abuse but still was to do as the friend Stevie Wonder, using just imitation with chords to match and all.

When she ‘Endless Love’ 1981 duet with Diana Ross, announced the presence of the singer as big surprise of the night. Given the enthusiastic reaction of the audience he explained that invited but she did not accept because of the heat. Neither purpose, at a time when drizzled in Lisboa. The audience did conviction of Diana.

When we think of Lionel Richie just think of half a dozen successes on a global scale. Remember the 1983 “Can not Slow Down” album or “Dancing on the Ceiling ’1986. We received no resistance” Stuck on You “,” Penny Lover “,” All Night Long “, and of course the inevitable” Hello ‘. We remember the high school parties, games on ZX Spectrum to hear these and other themes, the collection of cans of Pepsi with Lionel’s face and a different design for each of the tracks of “Can not Slow Down” and smile to see the family environment at all stages.

Generations can not hide the satisfaction with each new song retrieved from the trunk of the Commodores, for example. Or when you hear “Say You Say Me ‘or when everyone feel an incredible urge to dance to” Dancing on the Ceiling. ” So many emotions recovered in cascade that came to create confusion in the minds of a younger viewer to recognize that “Easy” asked the mother if the music was not of Faith No More. By chance, we think Mike Patton approve the final arrangement of this live version more to the tropical way of the Mr Bungle.

Lionel Richie is 66 years old and the last night of the European tour showed an enviable freshness, is a master of ceremonies old and radiates a contagious happiness with this resurgence. It is deserved, their songs are timeless and are there to be discovered by many more generations.

A very happy meeting between the Portuguese public and Lionel Richie sealed with an unforgettable ending. Said to ride the music of his friend Michael Jackson, who was heard before and after the concert, I went to recover a universal theme. Attacked ‘We Are The World “with purpose and not missed the white blazer!

If it is to relive the 80s to be the serious and these nights. Long live the King Lionel

The law says that the Ministry of Education and Science (MEC) will finance the curricular offerings of specialized art education in integrated and coordinated systems and comparticipar initiation courses and supplementary regime.

So, the students of the 1st cycle to decide have a first contact with a musical instrument or take dance lessons may have to pay part of this course offer, which was the case before.

In the dance the introductory courses, schools may ask parents and guardians 350 euros per year, which is an amount equal to the assigned by MEC

In the case of music, the values ​​vary depending on the size of the groups:. students may have to pay 350 euros if the instrument of discipline is frequented by three or four students, or 700 euro, when they are groups of one or two students

Compared to previous years, the big difference is precisely the smaller classes of introduction to music:. ​​In the year past, for example, the families and the MEC paid the same amount (550 euros), while the MEC will now pay 350 euros and families will receive an invoice for 700 euros, he told Lusa ministry source.

“In the courses of school teaching music, in a supplementary scheme may be required of students of educational institutions, financial contribution in respect of the value of public funding plus up to 20% for basic education courses “reads the notice published Wednesday in the Official Gazette.

The ordinance sets new funding amounts per student depending on the grade level and frequency regime, which ranges from 350 euros, for the initiated, up to 5,440 euros in the case of secondary courses Music articulated regime.

For the representatives of teachers and art schools, these figures are very low and might result in the emergence of more precarious contracts and false invoices Green warned Rui Paiva, the claiming movement of Artistic Education.

Another change, applauded by representatives of art schools, was a uniform funding model, which happens to be identical in all regions of the country and is replaced as the sole source of financing the state budget.

To receive financial aid, interested parties will have to apply for sponsorship contracts, who now have a period of three school years.

“The multi-year contracts was one of our main demands, along with move to be financed through the state budget and establish themselves dates to be made the payments,” he told Lusa Rui Paiva.

It will also set up a commission to analyze the educational documents of schools, the characteristics of faculty, academic performance, the operating conditions of schools and the development of training offer.

Mark Knopfler won the audience with old themes – Daily News – Lisbon

It was the sound of Broken Bones , one of the themes of the new album Tracker soil, released in March this year, the guitar master, began a concert long exhausted. Although recurrent visit to Portugal twice with Dire Straits and six solo, Mark Knopfler, 66, winner of four Grammys continues to play around here a wide fan base as once again it was found late on Tuesday, before an audience made up of several generations.

Smiling and very communicative, playing several times with the strong wind that felt, was a very different Mark Knopfler that the times of the Dire Straits what is presented in the EDP Cool Jazz, with a much closer sounding best tradition of British folk, made violins, mandolins and bagpipes, mixed with his unmistakable guitar solos.

We have it here – publico

                 


                         
                     


                         
                     

                 

 
                         

Here is a novelty in the Portuguese cinema: the Remake . Apart from the case of films adapted from literary works, where extreme case are the four Doomed Love of Pallu, Lopes Ribeiro, Oliveira and Mario Barroso, do not occur earlier.


                     


                          But there will be, very soon after: this Patio of Songs “reloaded” inaugurates a series of three films that also includes always the hand of Leonel Vieira, the “updates” of The Lion Star (Arthur Duarte, 1947) and The Song of Lisbon (Cottinelli Telmo, 1933).

Reach remake of these securities is not without a certain logic. For decades, the Portuguese cinema trying to replicate the formula of popular comedies of the so-called “golden age” of the 30s and 40s (which basically comes down to a half-dozen films), normally with disastrous results.

The Portuguese cinema does not produce a decent comedy since these films, just, and there would be a lot to add to the above cited: The Tyrant Father (Lopes Ribeiro, 1941), The Coast Castle (Duarte, 1943), The Radio Girl (Duarte, 1944) and certainly not more. At the entrance in the 50 formula was spent, and even a famous movie like The Coast of Africa (John Mendes, 1954) was already a parched thing and desengraçada, and from then on nothing has improved as well on the contrary. Back to these films to harvest them direct inspiration seems so logical as it seems a desperate gesture. Sink or swim

Racha. This “update” of The Courtyard of the Cantigas , whose original version, released in 1942, had the engine collaboration between the brothers Lopes Ribeiro (produced António Francisco, said Riverside, held, and both wrote the argument), it is heartbreaking.

If the original was an idealized and typified view of life in a popular Lisbon neighborhood that probably no longer exist or never existed, as the film shown, this version 2015 tries make a sort of squaring the circle:. preserve it, the mythology of “castiço” and introduce you touches of “realism” Contemporary

We have so much television where before there was only radio, we have a driver tuk tuks , we have a grocery gourmet in place of the old tavern Evaristo, we have a group of Spanish tourists now look gay now not we an Indian immigrant family to signal the cosmopolitanism that did not exist in Lisbon 40

product placement the squeegees:. the sponsors of the film are well represented, CTT (the character a postman) to RTP (the television that everyone sees, with well framed soon), through Sagres (apparently there in that courtyard, another brand of beer). So far so OK, or more or less. The worst, then, is that soon the film – which preserves the general features of the original argument and its multiple characters and parallel plots – proves unable to cope with so much, so much character, so much ball in the intrigue. A succession of loose scenes, the comic effects like wink, a narrative progression increasingly disjointed and, strictly speaking, no sense of economy. And then worse.

Up to two thirds of its length The Courtyard of the Cantigas is only weakly but within its huge limit, consistent. From one point is worth all brought mouxe, to the unspeakable (and almost random) end, with all the characters in a musical number in Bollywood style. Very typical . It could be ironic, but there is in the film a single sign away to show the irony. ? And the actors, without which (without the likes of Antonio Silva and Vasco Santana) would never have been “golden age”

No one here – neither they nor they apparently known figures in the television universe and magazine covers – seems fitted with any grace or special charisma. Save up Anabela Moreira and Rui Unas, especially Miguel Guilherme, the only actor who can imagine to imitate Antonio Silva and do not go wrong. But neither he prevents disaster. There is only one positive thing to say the film, which reveals intelligence by obviously be resolved: never hears the most famous taken from the original, “ò Evaristo, here you have it?”

Mark Knopfler in EDPcooljazz – yet there Alchemy – Digital Journal


 
 Full house at Oeiras Municipal Stadium for the return of Mark Knopfler to Portugal in another stage of EDPCoolJazz Festival. Despite having a new album, the concert was well balanced between latest solo disc, getting the second half reserved for glorious passages by some of the greatest songs of Dire Straits.

Once you have gone through Alvalade and Faro with Dire Straits, Knopfler has visited Porto, Cascais, twice the Atlantic Pavilion and twice the Campo Pequeno. The return was in Oeiras where he gave his concert in his own name with more balanced alignment and well done. Visibly good mood, very communicative and secure that musical choices for this tour did not disappoint fans or even occasional nostalgic.

Despite having released a new album recently, Mark has already signed more solo albums than with Dire Straits, the concert is not focused on new issues. The first half of the night is dedicated to three songs of each of the last two records.
“Broken Bones” of “Tracker” opens the best way to align the following with three of the penultimate disk songs, the double ‘privateering’. “Corned Beef City”, “privateering” and “Hill Farmer’s Blues.” A sequence that shows the excellence of the musicians who accompany Mark, a journey through sounds as close to blues, folk and country as the Celtic environments punctuated by flute or bagpipes and violins. Then back to “Tracker” to play “Skydiver”, which showed commitment to have the audience to sing with him. Knopfler had never seen so proud of a new composition as tonight. “Jokes and Laughs and Drinks Smokes and” closed the trip by the two most recent records. Through not lost a visit to bag a wonderful instrumental recovery “Father and Son” recovered from the soundtrack of Cal 1984.

Time to delight fans with immediate start for «Romeo and Juliet» and her silver guitar to glow. Without breaks and longer with the red and white guitar to finish this first pass by Dire Straits, attack on the anthem “Sultans of Swing”. Mobile phones to high, heads down and some air guitar to accompany the theme to be largely responsible for Knopfler continue to fill stadiums in 2015.
The vocal accompaniment of the public to saxophone notes in “Your Latest Trick” proves the correctness of the choice of the theme of the famous album “Brothers in Arms”.

With the conquered audience, Mark Knopfler left for the last three songs before the encore. Promoted two songs from the oldest solo albums that have long asked to be among the great classical guitarist. “Postcards From Paraguay”, the album ‘Shangri-La’, is as slow introduction to individual presentation of the band. In growing starts to own instrumental tropical party of a summer night.
It follows “Speedway at Nazareth”, of “Sailing to Philadelfia”, a powerful instrumental ride that is just asking for the entry of the epic “Telegraph Road”, worthy of close alignment in style.

The encore was another candy for the nostalgic, “So Far Away” in monotone version and an instrumental end with the grand “Going Home: Theme From Local Hero”.

There was no «Brothers in Arms ‘or’ What it Is ‘usual attendance in previous alignments but we were gaining with the interpretation of’ Yout Latest Trick “and” Telegraph Road “to sound better than ever. The same can not be said of “Sultans of Swing” or “So Far Away”, for example, to lose pedaling over time, but always dignified.

The path of 66 years, Mark Knopfler It is flawless on stage and almost reached perfection in balanced choice of an alignment where you realize you have so many classic solo and those who left in dire straits. This achievement is only available to some
