African Queen


Music video with 2face Idibia: African Queen (4:36)
Lyrics

2face Idibia or Innocent Ujah Idibia (real name), is today one of the most popular artists in Nigeria. Last year was he given the MTV Europe Music Awards for "Best African Act".

I was listening to the music for the first time in French Polynesia, on the ferry between Moorea and Papeete. The music went directly into my hart and still bears in mind me off all beauty in real friendship.

Mariza "Chuva"



Lisboa and Fado Music of Portugal...
...was for me a new experience. Please, listen to Mariza !!!
The song "Chuva" from the fado Portuguese singer Mariz is so lovely.

Mariza is the best fado/popular singer since Amalia Rodrigues, the great classic fado singer. Her voice is outstanding. Such a hard style of music to sing and she does it so effortlessly. Yes, she is what you can call "A REAL ARTIST and MASTER OF HIS ART".

MARIZA - FADO EM MIM
This is the best cd of fado of all time?!

The final curtain!

Today is a sad day for us all,
tenor Luciano Pavarotti is dead


He was the Maestro, Il Divo, the greatest opera star and will now be singing together with the angels, soprano Maria Callas and tenor Enrico Caruso....

He was a great performer and will be Remembered !

He had the charisma and brought music to everybody. His charisma also enabled him to burst through the barricades of taste, class, repertoire and media that separate classical music from pop and rock music.

Pavarotti was a great opera star,
but first and foremost for us a great star!


The Three Tenors and colleagues, Domingo or José Carreras is now only two..... Pavarotti died at his home in Modena, Italy, at 5 a.m. local time 2007-09-06, in a age of 71 years.

Luciano Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma

Värmland Classic Festival



It’s time for the yearly music event for 'Classic Music Lovers' in my home town “The Värmland Classic Festival”

In the evening of the 5th of September was José Carreras on the stage together with Värmlandsoperans Sinfonietta conducted by David Giménez.

It was a lovely Open Air Concert with José Carreras, the brilliant tenor, and master from Barcelona. He is so brilliant, and was performing a great concert for us all.

Open Air Concerts is something special and I’m happy to be given the opportunity to take part in the event like this, only 5 minutes walk from home.

Thanks José for a grate evening and Welcome back !!!
