#music, Jueves musical con Paco de Lucía – Musical Thursday with Paco de Lucía

(Paco de Lucía/1947-2014/Foto RTVE.es)

Nació en Algeciras, (Cádiz), en 1947… Virtuoso, héroe del Flamenco, compositor, guitarrista extraordinario y productor de discos. A través del fusion logró unir los ritmos tradicionales del Flamenco con el Jazz, con el rock y con otros sonidos internacionales. Durante la década de los años 70 grabó diez discos con el cantante Camarón de la Isla que se consideran algunos de los mas importantes e influyentes de la historia del Flamenco.

La discografía de Paco de Lucía es inmensa, no solo los discos de él solo, pero incluye también tantos en los cuales colaboró con muchos otros incluyendo John McLaughlin y Al di Meola, así que son muchos. Por eso voy a concentrarme en una pieza, «Entre dos aguas» el single del álbum Fuente y caudal grabado en 1973. Creo que aquí se luce bien el Paco y la pieza tiene bastante para daros un gustito de la gran música que hizo durante tantos años.

He was born in Algeciras, (Cádiz), in 1947… Virtuoso, Flamenco hero, composer, extraordinary guitarist, and record producer. Through fusion, he managed to unite the traditional rhythms of Flamenco with Jazz, rock, and other international sounds. During the 1970s, he recorded ten albums with the singer Camarón de la Isla, which are considered some of the most important and influential in the history of Flamenco.

Paco de Lucía’s discography is immense, not only the albums as a solo artist, but also the ones in which he collaborated with many others, including John McLaughlin and Al Di Meola, so there are many of them. That’s why I’m going to focus on one piece, «Entre dos aguas,» the single from the album Fuente y Caudal recorded in 1973. I think this is a great showcase of Paco’s talent, and the piece has a lot to offer for you to enjoy a taste of the great music he created over the years.

#poem, «20 Questions Beginning With Who?

(Image property of Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

Who places names upon a wall?

Who places images on concrete?

Who places thoughts upon a wall?

Who sows where no one reaps?

Who places walls upon my face?

Who places flowers on the streets?

Who places roosters at my feet?

Who breaks the bricks?

Who takes the fall?

Who plants the seeds?

Who kicks the ball?

Who paints my portrait on your skin?

Who paints your skin with ink within?

Who will lay flowers on my grave?

Who’ll build a wall and carve my place?

Who can assure me of the truth?

Who wrote the narrative?

Who grew this beard upon my face?

Who will one day sit in my place?

Who asks such questions I do wonder?

#art, Bodo: Y los colores nunca sobran – Bodo: And Colours Are Never Enough…

Los colores por sí mismos son arte, pero hay que saber usarlos, aunque no necesariamente hay que regirse por las normas y preceptos tradicionales, pero si utilizarlos para crear, desarrollar ideas y mas… Para mi, el dibujo en blanco y negro es un cuadro con menos colores, pero un cuadro a todo color es un cuadro que brilla por su complejidad y por estar en un estado de perfección completa. Aquí os brindo algunos de los viejos y uno de los nuevos que demuestra lo que siento por los colores….

Colours themselves are art, but you have to know how to use them skilfully, although you don’t necessarily have to adhere to traditional rules and precepts, you would do good to use them to create and develop ideas and more… For me, my black and white drawings are paintings with fewer colours, but a full-color picture is one that shines with complexity and in a state of complete perfection. Here I present some of the old ones and one of the new ones that shows what I feel about colours.

Good morning – Buenos días – Günaydın

Que cosa más rara la que he visto durante estas elecciones aquí en España. Parece ser que lo único que importa es atacar a la derecha pero ni pio de los problemas a los cuales se enfrentan los españoles diariamente, izquierdistas o derechistas. La ideología no paga las cuentas ni ponen pan sobre la mesa. Además, el ganador es el que la mayoría ha elegido presidente…

#art, Entrevístame…

Primero agradecerle a Juan Re Crivello, ese gran mago y excelente escritor que idealizó algo tan fenomenal como MASTICADORES y me invitó a formar parte, y segundo a vosotros. Ademas queria identificar el cuadro de Leonardo que menciono y es este:

(«La dama del armiño» circa 1490/Dominio público)
(2016)

Gracias…
