Bailar es soñar con los pies… (Joaquín Sabina) y tenía razón…

To dance is to dream with your feet (Joaquín Sabina), and he was right…

Although they have so many great songs, in all (most) of their albums. Even on those not so popular, like Their Satanic Majesties Request, my fave is and since I heard it, has always been «Brown Sugar.«

«Brown Sugar» was released in April of 1971. I was beginning High School in the United States… It was from Sticky Fingers, a phenomenal album… It is in Rolling Stones (magazine) list of the 500 greatest rock and roll songs of all times… Take a listen…

Gracias a Dios la exposición «Atrévete» resulto ser una maravilla… Desde que abrimos las puertas la tarde del 12 de octubre hasta cerrarlas la noche del 22, no paramos de hablar, compartir y mostrarle el arte de Francisco Bravo Cabrera a más de 1.700 visitantes al museo, Sala d’Exposicions de Ciutat Vella en el corazón de Valencia. Fue un gran éxito para nosotros, el colectivo de Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia, y para el artista, Francisco Bravo Cabrera.

Pero todo comenzó mucho antes… Por eso quiero agradecerles la labor de amor y de apoyo a muchos queridos amigos que se acercaron a nosotros y nos ayudaron grandemente, como lo fueron: Nuestros queridísimos amigos Viktoriya y Pau, que ya forman parte de OCS Valencia; como también a otros amigos del corazón como Joni y Scott, Luc y Susan; Seth y María; Alain y Mayra de La Perla de La Habana; El colectivo de Reprografía BV de Valencia; Federico y María Elena de Rehabita Ruzafa; Café Tostao; Elena Gabarda de la Junta de Ciutat Vella y al Ayuntamiento de Valencia… Por supuesto también a los cientos y cientos de visitantes de nuestra ciudad y los tantos mas que nos visitaron del extranjero…

Nuestro próximo gran evento sera para el 2024 en Alemania. Mantente al tanto para más información según la vayamos divulgando…

Thanks be to God! The exhibition «Atrévete» turned out to be a marvel… Since we opened the doors on the afternoon of October 12th until we closed them on the night of the 22nd, we didn’t stop talking, sharing, and showing Francisco Bravo Cabrera’s art to over 1,700 museum visitors at the Sala d’Exposicions de Ciutat Vella in the heart of Valencia. It was a great success for us, the collective of Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia, and for the artist, Francisco Bravo Cabrera.

But it all started long before… That’s why I want to thank the labor of love and support from many dear friends who approached us and helped us greatly, such as: Our dearest friends Viktoriya and Pau, who are already part of OCS Valencia; as well as other friends of the heart like Joni and Scott, Luc and Susan; Seth and María; Alain and Mayra from La Perla de La Habana; The Reprografía BV staff from Valencia; Federico and María Elena from Rehabita Ruzafa; Café Tostao; Elena Gabarda from the Junta de Ciutat Vella and the City Council of Valencia… Of course, also to the hundreds and hundreds of visitors to our city and the many more who visited us from abroad…

Our next big event will be in 2024 in Germany. Stay tuned for more information as we disclose it…

From those early years in London (1962) to those great times in Barcelona and the world, touring, entertaining, singing and composing (2023), The Rolling Stones were, are and will remain the longest lasting rock band and the greatest rock and roll band in the world. (Of course I do not count The Beatles, my personal favourite, because John, George, Paul and Ringo did a lot more than just blues oriented rock and roll)… And that is not to say that the Rolling Stones did not venture out of rock and roll and the blues. They certainly did, but they always came back to their roots.

They have brought us some of the best rocking pieces that I have ever heard. I still rock to «Brown Sugar«, «Satisfaction«, Street Fighting Man«, «Honky Tonk Women» and so many others. And although I grew up (and still am) a Beatles fan, I always loved the Stones side by side with the four lads from Liverpool.

My favourite part of the Stones seven decades were the first years, perhaps up to Beggar’s Banquet. I really didn’t care too much for their «disco» days, except for «Waiting on a Friend» from 1981. When they came back to rock, in 1994 and released Voodoo Lounge I regained total interest in the band…

From the early years this is one of my favourite…

They were formed in London in 1962… They were (originally): Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Keith Richards, Bill Wyman, and Charlie Watts… «Satisfaction» from 1965 is their biggest hit… In 1969 Mick Taylor replaced Brian Jones and the lads were introduced as the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World… Ron Woods replaced Mick Taylor in 1974… In 2021 they were the biggest earning touring band of the year… Bill Wyman left the band in 1993… Charlie Watts died in 2021… Hackney Diamonds, their latest (2023) album has been released with new material as well as great guests like Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Lady Gaga and the appearance of Bill Wyman…

A rock band in their 80’s is a 21st Century phenomenon! I recommend the entire album…

Cheers

Para ser justos habría que vaciar las cárceles y perdonar a todos los delincuentes de la nación…

Mare meua!

Venga! Y nadie fue demandado, ni por la fiscalía ni por las ministras feministas… Ah, claro, fue en Argentina…

La música es la más abstracta de todas las artes que pueden llegar a la abstracción, pero el cantante, con la letra y con su interpretación, convierte esa abstracción en un cuadro figurativo… La interpretación de un cantante es como un cuadro que se hace y luego de que lo hayan visto se quema… En Valencia (España) eso se hace todos los años en las Fallas…

Gracias
