Arriving in Cape Verde, I hear the sound of two great voices of many great voices...

Lura sings "Marinhêro" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY9KyTYjxQ0

and

Cesaria Evora sings "Bésame Mucho" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esdl_3kKSBk

PS: I really love the version of Bésame Mucho sung by our Maestro... He sings it with that special feeling. But however, Senhora Cesaria is a great singer!

Tell me about it! I've been living without a TV set for almost 2 years. I canceled my cable subscription when the presidential elections started. I couldn't stand looking at the faces of the candidates day and night! . Now, I have only the basic service and hardly watch TV anyway. As you say, you can see everything in the Internet. By the way, I edited my previous message. I was asking you if you had seen the 2009 Astro Boy movie.

Contrary to you, I have many other interests besides Andrea Bocelli. Otherwise, I could go crazy! Sometimes I even get bored looking at my same same face on the mirror everyday. Can you imagine if I listen to him 24/7? I could be hating him by now! No offense whatsoever. I am just been honest, that's all. Adulation is not my cup of tea anyway... :eye:

Contrary to you, I have many other interests besides Andrea Bocelli. Otherwise, I could go crazy! Sometimes I even get bored looking at my same same face on the mirror everyday, you can imagine if I listen to Andrea 24/7. I could be hating him already! No offense whatsoever. I am just been honest, that's all. :oops:


I have although many other interests; forigne languages for example and music (almost all kind of it)... But I can't stand a day without the voice of Andrea Bocelli... I had to stop hearing him for years (because I was young, lived with my father who doesn't like him) and now, that I'm living alone, I listen to his music every single day. I love his Arias and I love his pop songs. I love his concerts (I have only recorded ones :cry: ) and I love his interviews. I like the way he thinks. He's a big example...
I'm although interested in aviation. My studies are about aviation "at the moment"...
And I love travalling...
I watch my favorit series on TV (like LOST, at the moment on Kabel eins, 5th Season :wink: )...
But Andrea Bocelli is a special interest; the biggest and the most important for me...

Yes I said "I just love Andrea Bocelli", but I wanted to say, that I almost just listen to his music :wink: I know that I'll never hate him and I'll never get bored of his voice. And "Songs in different languages" are a welcome change for me; but it would never pass a day without listening to Andrea Bocelli, NEVER :oops:

This anime seems to be cute...
Earlier, I watched InuYasha and Detective Conan :wink: But now, that I'm older (and I'm getting older and older) I can't watch them without thinking about a hard childhood I'd like to forget...

Back to the Lebanon...
A singer named "Magda El Roumi" (or "Majda Al Roumi" or a mix of them) is a great singer, known all around the arabic world.
I selected a long song of hers (about 10:34 min., with English translation) because it's one of the wonderful songs ever.

I hope you enjoy it...

Let me post here a song which is the soundtrack of a japanese movie, called "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring). From the day I watched the film I can't really forget it, neither the music...it touched me a lot...for the simplicity, the poetry, the truth, the beauty of the picture...........
I 'm not familiar with the asian music at all, I only have watched some japanese films already so maybe it sounds to me too "exotic", too "different" and maybe this is the reason I "stuck" with this...
It is a traditional song...

Dear sofiagreece, this is a Korean song. The discription tells us so too. But anyway, it's a beautiful song.
I visited a Japanese course for a term and sometimes I just can hear the differences between Japanese, Korean and Chinese language. :wink:

A very famous Serbian musician is Goran Bregovic whose music I really enjoy!
His sound is distinctive in a way that you can recognize him from the first notes...

"هذه ليتي" (This Is My Night) is a song sung by Om Kolthum (a great legend in Egypte). Here is the instrumental version for those who like dancing belly-dance...

I have heard about Om Kolthum, I remember a documentary I had seen about her on TV where she was called "The Voice of Egypt"!

Here is maybe the best greek singer of the 50s, 60s and 70s who used to sing a specific type of songs. He was very famous especially among the "poor" people of the past decades (but not only) and he became a true legend. For sure he had a really great voice!

I love the first one...

I love belly-dancing! I took lessons many years ago and had so much fun! It was the best decision I could make after I suffered some injuries at the gym for not knowing how to use the equipment properly. It is a good exercise and helps to keep the stomach bulges away. And the clothes used are so beautiful. I still have mine... just as a souvenir. :)
