El Último de la Fila, a surreal band within anyone’s reach, antiheroes glorified by a legion of followers, has broken their unfulfilled promise of never playing together again, and they did it in front of 56,000 people like any Stones to give themselves the pleasure of playing again, just as a couple of years ago they disobeyed themselves by releasing Desbarajuste piramidal for the mere pleasure of recording again.
The term rock’n’roll is attributed to radio host Alan Freed, who popularized it in association with the musical style that emerged in the mid-50s in the U.S., an accelerated and electrified rhythm & blues that changed popular music forever. Rock suggested the idea of
In January 1937, when he accepts the commission from the Spanish Republic to create a large mural for the International Exhibition in Paris, Picasso is living what he would later recall as “the worst time of my life.” The painter is 54 years old and his previously carefree polygamy is showing its teeth: the divorce from Olga Koklova has become a nightmare; Marie-Thérèse Walter, the lover with whom he had started a relationship when she was still underage, has made him a father again (Maya) and he has fallen in love again with the artist and photographer Dora Maar.
The Rolling Stones have confirmed this Saturday the title of their upcoming record project, Foreign Tongues, after months of clues and enigmatic messages on social media that had fueled speculation about a new album.
Eduardo Casanova wanted to tell the world that it is perfectly possible to live with HIV and nothing happens, that stigmas only feed hatred. This is what the Spanish actor and director explains in Sidosa, the documentary released last week in some cinemas with which he has decided to “break years of silence.” The film, produced and hosted by Jordi Évole and directed by Lluís Galter and Màrius Sánchez, is conceived as a cathartic journey seasoned with humor, emotion, memory, and cinema, which allows understanding the reality of people with HIV today.
Michael, the biopic about Michael Jackson, is making a splash globally: 217 million in its first opening weekend and number one at the worldwide box office. And that despite the bad reviews. The biopic genre has long since made an important place for itself in cinemas. The lives of real people are usually a good draw to attract the viewer’s attention and, in the process, manage to boost box office revenue. The approval of the critics is another matter.
There is no doubt that Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, by Edward Albee, is one of the most iconic plays of the 20th century. And it talks about nothing more than a marriage: the battle royale starring Martha and George is legendary, with some iconic lines. Like when she, after hearing him say he can’t take it anymore, shoots back: “You can take it! That’s why you married me!”. Ingmar Bergman delved into the subject with the masterful series Scenes from a Marriage, adapted for the stage a thousand times. Right now, at the Maldà, the company El Eje is performing a quite successful version of the classic, Escenes d’una separació, with a script by Eva Pauné Martínez. It turns Marianne and Johan into Alba and Joana, a lesbian couple trying to survive in present-day Barcelona. They love and hate each other at the same time, but they can’t live without being together. Mar Pawlowsky and Patrícia Bargalló know how to take their characters to the limit, with the mirror of the creatures created by the Swedish genius as a reflection. An excellent performance.
Happy Community of Madrid Day! An ideal place to settle. One of the most prosperous regions in Europe, unaffected by the north-south split between rich and poor, neither in the region nor in the capital. Thus, the green mountains of the north and the dry countryside of the south have the
Michael Jackson was too tempting a candy for the film industry to escape the trend of musical biopics. But Michael, the newly released story of the king of pop, has come to light with more chiaroscuro than a Caravaggio to navigate the multiple mines contained in the artist’s story in a film that began to take shape after the success achieved in 2019 by Bohemian Rhapsody and that had from the beginning the support of Jackson’s heirs.
Being in a museum does not mean being finished, not by a long shot in the case of Fangoria, the duo formed in the late 80s by Alaska and Nacho Canut who release their ninth studio album, La verdad o la imaginación, with eurodance as a musical reference. Melodies to move on the dance floor crafted by a couple who do not dance, with elegant lyrics where they raise doubts about truth or science without daring to give a solution that commits them to anything other than their own freedom.
