Documentary Power

Culture-Politic-History... Just two great documentaries on an unsolved American problem!

The first "BLAKE POWER MIXTAPE" came out last November in French cinema, but it will be on Arte Chanel the 20th of this month.(or on replay now) 

It traces the evolution of Black Power movement from 1967 to 1975. 

       

British got it right!

Hey French English speaker! There is a great article dealing about the French election...AGAIN? (I hear you say)No a different one! This is a view from our British neighbor (and it's a very clever one) on our political choice 10 days from the first tour.

Here's the link of the entire article.

K.I.E.R.E.M.E

...that is to say L.O.V.E.M.E ( in Spanish)

and it's an easy work to do! How can't we love this Bebe.

I found here a great summer's hit with a taste of M.I.A's flow!

You don't know her neither? It's alright I'm here to bring you BACK ON TRACK!

To go back on BEBE I'm pretty sure this song will make you practise your spanish and Dj's make you dance all summer night on it! So..don't miss it!

18 mars 2012! What a day!

The modern "Prise de la bastille" and I was there!

More than a political meeting it was also the reunion of hopeful and happy-smiley people dreaming of a better country, walking and working for!

Have a look on the pictures I took, believe me YOU MISSed SOMETHING!

 

Somebody/Something

Pretty sure you heard or you have been listening this song for the last few weeks, for months if you are a kind of music geek, and almost a year if you are Australian.

Anyway I haven't missed it neither and because it can't stop playing in my head, I had to share this sweet mild annoyance called Gotye with you!

Gotye-Somebody that I used to know   

"...cut me off"- Love the clip by the way, but enough,get out of my head!!- "Somebody..."

La vida es un carnaval, right?

Hey Salseros!

If there is one date to write and underline on your agenda it will be the 9th April!!Done?

Add "Village Latino Bastille"Circle it! Great!

Now you can cross your fingers for Mr Sun to read this post!And you canNOT miss it!

Carmencita tells you more about it

 

I can't leave you without a taste of atmosphere, please listen and enjoy the great Celia Cruz and her so famous song "La vida es un carnaval" (one of my favorite)

 

Art & Sun

Sunny afternoons are back, what about enjoying the sun and watching some great art.

Huge pictures of the world-wild famous Chinese artiste Li Wei are changing the space of the Parc de la Villette, they are big enough for you to lay down on the grass  and increase the strange position which the artist is playing with;Is he upside down or are you?

You probably missed the performance Li Wei made on the 20th of Mars, it's ok you still have until 19th August, after that I'm pretty sure the exhibition will be done, but I hope the summer won't...
