PRINCE SUNDAY in of IDEA MUSICAL
With the album For You, the diminutive genius of Minneapolis, known as Prince, was presented to the world in 1978, after ten years of hard work behind the scenes in his hometown. Undoubtedly, it was a interesting debut, but failed to hit. The artist's natural environment was the scene where he played wearing stockings and suspenders and very makeup (a tribute to the greats like Little Richard and Rick James), but the impression is turned into amazement when she started playing the guitar. At that time, Jimi Hendrix was the icon that most resembled. Prince followed the route to success lleveba from soul to funk, to rock and punk.
A successful portrait of the musician, Prince himself said, is <>. We are on the planet Prince, album after record, from his multiplatinum Purple Rain to Sing of the Times or the legendary Black Album, with its great tribute to James Brown and more disjointed triple album Emancipation, equally full of quality. Prince has performed with Rick James, Morris Day and The Time, has joined the legendary George Clinton on stage and produced an album by Mavis Staples, and rock known to the public for his other contributions (Including Scorsese film The Last Waltz with The Band, Clapton and others).
The bottom line is that Prince extended his his circle and looked for a consensus. Throughout her career. Prince has never hidden the fact that she wanted to feel the comfort of being wrapped by other musicians; wanted to break her loneliness and always found a reason to keep making music. The great success of the soundtrack of Batman also highlighted the weakness of Prince: the narrow space often prevents comenrcial part of the carousel in which Michael Jackson travels so easily. The tomb is always one step, and Prince often walks along the edge, in this case, might have been a setback. However, after Batman appeared Graffiti Bridge and the genius of Minneapolis regain her composure. The album is considered the top of the contemporary production of Prince and confirmed what we already suspected: once resolved their artistic and personal crisi (looms in the phrase that appears to OMMENCEMENT the disk, before the music, which goes to his father and admits that sometimes things have not happened as he wanted, and often something inside makes you feel as if explode), musician certainly fulfilled its role of intermediary selected from the historic funk and new urban rap, settling in one dimension between rock and soul and mixing them with ample room to maneuver.
Electronics and mere physical presence (like the snap of the fingers often hear two tracks), balanced with catchy rhythms, flashy, but for romantic, interrupted by solos and sounds that seem the product of any of the street in the black townships appear in Graffiti Bridge as a real manifesto for a musician and a musical culture. Although like the rest of their other albums, has often seems that the songs have been composed to be faithful to the vision of the former rather than to fit the confines of the second. This effort seems beyond the reach of any other, but, of course, is normal for the lonely Prince perfectionist. It was this exploration that Prince trnsportó from past to present, and taking you to the future.
was 6 and had to leave ahead of San Jose for the traffic, so there was only time for a Vietnamese cakes and coconut juice.

At the entrance, and verify that no bear arms, a bold watermelon to close my left their scent "weedozo" to make not one, if not more than one hundred concerts.
Once inside we took one of the few tables available were at stage right, and drinks not disliked, but what fell ill was the price: $ 10 for a glass of wine! ... With that I bought a bottle and give me change!

Ahi vocalist for dance took its only steps from the night, such a pendulum clock. He also said a: damn! you if they like to hit the green leaf!
rolas finished their dance, appreciated the applause y ellos mismos desconectaron y cargaron sus instrumentos musicales.
El segundo de la tarde fue: “Psychedelic Furs” ..el furor, el humo y el olor subieron de intensidad. Richard Butler salió enfundado en un traje negro que incluía chaleco y una sudadera que se ajustaba en el dedo pulgar, hizo una caravana y agradeció los aplausos. El recital inició con “Love My Way” y su famosa línea: "You can never win or lose If you don't run the race" y de ahí Richard no paró de bailar, inclusive entre canción y canción, parecía David Byrne en semáforo de la ciudad de México, esperando el siga para continuar corriendo.
On the other hand, Tim, like a traditional bass player, stood in a corner and just sang each song and to the fans faces behind their dark glasses.
The 2 types very charismatic with his audience.

The downside was the lack of punch on the keyboards, which are not well incorporated into any song.
At times Richard was closer to fans, they sang and shook their hands, thanked once more the opportunity to return to San Francisco and left all his fans happy.

In late November 1965 on the streets of Puebla de la colonia Roma, nightclub more flamboyant of the city of Mexico, El Quid-owned TV producer Ernesto Alonso, had a new show with the bass drum and cymbal that characterized him.
Telenovela
The Lord called a cabaret show called and offered all possible artistic freedom. The architect contrived "to make a trendy show." That author was the artist Alfonso Arau and this happening born our The Velvet Underground: The Tepetatles.
Experimentation
With suitcases full of experience after a world tour with his show of pantomime Follies happy, having founded and directed the Music Theatre of Havana, Cuba, and classes pantomime in the sight of Etienne Decroux (master Marceau), the film landed in Mexico in the mid 60's with the offer of Ernesto, who "had the idea that I was going to do something very classic and Follies happy, do no? And I happen to do a parody of The Beatles, "recalls the actor.
Thus, Alfonso Arau was given the task of building your new number. In the Harlem cabaret, by the directions of Coyoacán, where the youth of those years got together for coffee or lemonade, came after his musicians.
Tena
Marco Polo, Mark Lizama and José Luis Martínez The Bayoya, were selected, respectively, to fill the positions of the band, on bass, guitar and drums. A Venezuelan musician of jazz roots, Julian Bert, would make keyboards and musical direction.
In some of his recurrent visits to the restaurant Tirol, invited Carlos Monsivais, then hardened film buff and a regular contributor to several cultural essays, to prepare the letters of the fledgling group. Similarly, the renowned graphic artists Vicente Rojo and Jose Luis Cuevas were summoned to assemble the visual part of the show. All and everyone in the pure excitement, were the years of the cultural ferment of experimental film competition and exhibitions of Manuel Felguérez, the days when Gabriel García Márquez decided to start writing enclosed Hundred Years of Solitude.
God and the comic makes the board ...
conceived the show went beyond parody to Liverpool.
In a dossier that was included in the now highly valued disc recorded this experiment, its various members signed texts that explain what the hell it was that presented in the Quid, a show that brought the name of "Triumph and crushing of the modern world with high risk of Arau and much noise."
Alfonso Arau, (33 years old then), wrote: "The central theme is the rebellion, with or without cause, with or without legal right (...) To understand them (the rebels), we must first express (...) The task of a show is to express moods, if necessary, with long hair, beards, guitars, satire and ROCK AND ROLL. "
Monsivais (27 years) entered the show in this new wave, pop art, which "has made us relentlessly warn the cultural significance of the Coca Cola and hamburgers, and the portraits of Marilyn Monroe and leather outfits and cans of food and motorcycles and jingles and posters and comics and manes and counter power (...) Our show wants to be pop -art, and express themselves through song and humor, pop pop. "
A third text no less explosive but more important, as is traditional in its author José Luis Cuevas (31), challenged:
"Did you know that the most educated in New York, London or Paris, people no longer speak of unbearable Dylan Thomas or Arthur Miller or Osborne or Robbe Grillet or concrete music (puff!)? Lee is now discussed Falk (creator of The Phantom and Mandrake) and who does not read Creepy (American horror comics) is a retard. " Debut
and farewell "?
That cold November 1965 when he stopped feeling The Tepetatles hit the stage of Quid. And not because of the innocence of his presentation.
Carlos Monsivais, witness the primal debut, recalls: "The response was not gleaming. Rather, the Quid is rapidly depopulated. Ernesto Alonso, when he heard the songs, not excited, not exhilarated vi. I said: 'This is not to my clients'. " Marco Polo Tena, bassist of the project and also the legendary Rock Rebels, photographed by our customers, "was the cream of society in Mexico and artistic society."
Alfonso Arau adds: "was the hot spot: the tout Mexique was there," he says, not without some sarcasm and continued: "When Ernesto Alonso saw it, was terrified. It disappointed a lot, that was not what I expected. He went to his home in Cuernavaca and never reappeared. Thought we were besmirching the place. "
The show, a" satirical show a go go in two acts ", as officially presented at the" boite de nuit "(the cabaret and was cataloged) was, first, a live video show, as they installed a closed circuit and each table was a small television, pictures that were run by "a total lunatic" switcher, Fernando G.
Lyrics to the sui generis band were given by the chronicler par excellence of the twentieth century Mexican Monsivais (Chava Flores was required, but to the author of Days Save the project "did not care too much because the very fact that it was in a cabaret of some flights it was insufficient.")
When you hear the 12 cuts on the disc sees this description, irony, urbanity, that ubiquity-pop that has characterized the writer.
We have, for example, the song that opens the band's self-titled album with a chorus something punk who makes fun of the deities of the time under a rock steady base: "And our cry to the Beatles seem / Enclosed nuns pray in silence. " Or what about "I want to love ya, Cordoba" with "Espartero, since you left."
The role of Tepetatles not reduced only to play music. They also gave life to characters previously designed: a jazz musician to tie knot on drums, a classical musician on keyboards lost rock and rollers, a dandy British-style on the bass, a scarf and blanket Maya on guitar and vocals impertinent screaming and howling while playing a double neck guitar where a third hand sticking out of props.
Cult tepetatle
"We came from very different places and each who had their own lives. It was never planned to do a rock band, "says Arau.
"The intention was purely satirical, there was never an attempt to make rock music but have fun at the expense of what was" Monsivais added. Despite the immediacy that represented the show, Marco Polo Tena gives a certainty: "I think what was planted was harvested properly." More than 43 years of that event, the show and The Tepetatles not fell into oblivion. Two decades later, the group eighties bottle of Jerez (where campaigning fellow filmmaker Sergio Arau, son of Alfonso), would return to cut his debut album 100% tepetatle, "Tlalocman."
The album, the only remains of this show is left for posterity, with a non-traditional design then (collage, drawings, two Arau expressive faces on the cover) has a price proportional to its shortage of units. In Poplar Tianguis know of that value in thousands of pesos, up to 20 thousand.
Tepetatles
If parents are Botellita and these, in turn, are Café Tacvba, "then those are the grandparents of these?, Asked the distinguished interviewees.
"It perpetuated in La Maldita Vecindad, Caifanes in, etc. Absolutely: they are my grandchildren this ball of unconscious, "he jokes Arau.
Monsivais, laconic, also offers a line of relationship: "I'm thinking about filing my great grandfather who left because the time I reached (...) And certainly, if I go ask those groups to record civil status sign my grandfather. "
sequence the genome of OZZY TO FIND OUT HOW HAS SURVIVED A DRUG AND ALCOHOL ...
Ousbourne Ozzy came to the fore in 1968 in front of the band that laid the foundation for heavy metal, Black Sabbath. Since then, he has never hidden his addiction to alcohol, snuff and all sorts of common and less common drugs. Now with 61 years of age, maintain their consumption but until today have given any serious shock.

all good rock fans can still enjoy the controversial figure of Ozzy, either with their eccentric appearances in recent years, or with greatest hits size of the acclaimed "Paranoid" and his well-known "War Pigs"
Given their novelty, at the time ... and since it was new technology, the question was:
"What was your first CD ?
Now I ask myself ...
"is the last CD you bought now?
At least I took months without buying a ... of many, neither remember what it was.
I think the record companies if they had known of the impact of piracy, or take the CD, of course, we can not see how it flies from one side to another music for digital media.
"we are doomed to be a band, hereafter, be it only a song whose face and no name has. Mp3 ?
Y que ya no conozcamos ni el origen del nombre, o de dònde es la banda...
¿ Se hace 'accesible' el mundo, pero es para bien o solo para darle una untada al paso del tiempo ?
¿ Y la sustancia ?
Mucha investigación a Marte, mucha arma nuclear, mucho iPod, mucho Internet, mucho wireless, mucho bluetooth, mucho blue point, mucho blue demon ¿ y no puedo tapar una fuga en el oceano ? a leak that they did and knows what will happen and even when you stop ...
