We could not have been complete without an appointment for further exploration on our own artists and groups. On this occasion we will dive in the beautiful sounds made by a group that has carried and still carries the flag of Sicily beyond the island, bringing the sounds, colors, flavors and sensations of Our wonderful land.
We're talking about Ali Baba, I can not forget the first tape that I received from a friend Centuripe was the mid-90s and I still have that tape, the second album later research seemed to be "'Nzigniti to' DUCATION, beautiful,
published its '95. of that album is a song that defined an era for me and many friends, "Cu Piru Piru are born died, so many of us still echoes that" grain nta pouch nuddu you nni jetta, never statement was more believable. It 's been a while many things have changed, for others it is still referring to the midnight passage reproduced above, not on their street that they have done and as you yourself have noted got to touch the really big goals, but ... it all started back in December 1992, Ali Baba's born in Enna, Sicily, the brainchild of some local musicians from different areas musicali.Sin beginning their blend of reggae, pop and makes them a very popular group in Sicily and this leads to the unfolding of a ' intense live far and wide around the island, but not only, that continues to this day. Between sorties across the strait, we like to recall the group's holdings in two editions of Rototom in 1998 and 2001 in Lignano Osoppo.
addition, Ali Baba can claim third place at Sanremo Rock in February 2000, hosted live on Rai Radio 2, with Fiorello, and Radio DeeJay, with Albertine, and transmission to almost continuous rotation of two videos about Talent One of Italy 1. One of these, "I hear the winter," is taken from the first self titled CD of the band, the second "Phobia", the second, entitled "We like " and published in 2008 by Irma Records, Edel Distribution .
The work, produced by Max Busa and recorded independently by the band, contains ten songs on this video.
It opens with " Phobia" , in fact, part based on small and large daily phobias that afflict us, adorned with unexpected musical interlude tango. Second song is a classic electro-reggae group, a dialect song titled "Timpu and timpu malu" (good weather and bad weather) that closes with a tail typical rock. The third track, "Turn that turns you" atmosphere mixes ska and soul, while the fourth, "amplified" is on slow lines of roots. "Cars that go" pop-based reggae embroidering arabesques, then follows the second song in the dialect of the work, "Cu cu eat and Talia" (who eats and who looks ", a track where the reggae and ska alternate seamlessly continuity. "All Artists" presents reggae atmosphere and 60s big band, and is followed by "CCA fields of air" (fields of air here), a song very free and easy the text is inspired in part to a song People from Calabria. It closes the series of original songs on the CD "The Mice and the Cat," a fast ska that tells the misadventures of a group of mice and of the sacrifice of a mouse, is required to open the eyes of his fellow men. Tenth and final track is a cover of business. The song rearranged by the group is a traditional American gospel, "Go Tell It on the Mountains", shown here by the band in a truly personal, that just holds the version original.
A cd varied in style as the group, but linked by the common denominator of luminosity, melody, and danceable, always unique characteristics of the band, with lyrics now a bit 'more light-hearted and ironic, now serious reflexive, with peaks of social protest and politics.
A big hello to Ali Baba, what to say, keep it that "We like !

Leroy Sibbles, Earl Morgan and Barry Llewelyn joined originally under the name of "The Hep Ones" in 1965 in Kingston, but soon changed their name to "The Heptones".
The group collaborated with several Jamaica's leading manufacturers at the time: after a single little success with producer Ken Lack's label for its "K Calnek, moved under the management of Coxsone Dodd for Studio One. The Heptones in fact released a series of hits for Studio One, starting with "Fattie Fattie," the first single for the label in 1966. This was the beginning of a period of success with Coxsone, which was followed by other singles such as "Pretty Looks Is not All", "Get In The Groove," "Be a Man," "Sea of \u200b\u200bLove" (a cover of the Pat Phillips and the Twilights), "Ting a Ling," "Party Time" and "I Hold the Handle."
The band was the main rival of The Techniques, run by Arthur "Duke" Reid, was were among the most popular groups rocksteady era. During their five years at Brentford Road, Leroy Sibbles played bass in several sessions with artists along with Jackie Mittoo. Among the songs in which he played the bass stand out "I'm Still In Love" by Alton Ellis and "Satta-a-Massagana" of the Abyssinians. The group was under the Studio One during the era of reggae, where they released songs like "Message From A Black Man," "Love Will not Come Easy," "I Love You" and a successful cover of "Suspicious Minds" then recorded with Joe Gibbs, Harry J, with whom they recorded the classics "Country Boy" and "Book of Rules" in 1973, Edwards Rupees (re-recorded "Give Me the Right") and former journalist Danny Holloway.
Leroy Sibbles emigrated to Canada in 1973, and the band ceased recording, returning in 1976 with "Cool Rasta" and "Night Food", produced by Scott "Harry J" Johnston. This LP contained several new material, along with old pieces of the golden Studio One.
In 1977, underwent a surge in their careers when they began to collaborate with producer Lee "Scratch" Perry, with whom they released some new singles (including a cover of Billy Stewart "I Do Love You" on their album Justice League published five years earlier), and released the album Party Time, one of the best productions Perry, who recorded at Black Ark studio, including some old songs revisited Studio One era, including covers of Bob Dylan "I Shall Be Released", alongside new tracks including "Sufferers' Time."
At the same time, they held a series of single cone Lee Perry, as "Mistry Babylon," "Mr. President" (along with DJ Jah Lloyd) and "Babylon's Falling". Sibbles left the training again in 1977 to begin a successful solo career, having already recorded the solo piece "Love Will not Come Easy" by Augustus Pablo, as well as other individual players for Lee Perry ("Rasta Fari "and" Garden of Life ") and DEB Music Dennis Brown (" New Song "and" Is not No Love "). He was replaced by Dolphin" Naggar "Morris, who had recorded" Su Su Pon Rasta "for Joe Gibbs and" You Should Love Your Brother "for King Jammy, but the group's popularity dropped. From the late 70 , their style began to get less support from a public already addressed the more militant style of Rastafari, and began to be seen as part of the old era. Although they were produced by Joseph Hoo Kim at Channel One studio, Good Life in 1979 resulted a hole in the water, and during the following years gained little success.
The original trio reunited in 1995, releasing the new album Pressure!, produced by Tappa Zukie.

Compared to all of you who love surround you only good vibes, this event is now fixed with the Reggae of "Our House" will get to know better Marvanza Reggae Sound a group of Monasterace (RC), which in my humble opinion, is able fully to embrace the Jamaican sound with our culture, and what is cult for us, we see the beautiful rendition of "Same mare." But let's get to know their roots:
The notes of Reggae and Dance Hall are the framework for a framework whose main subjects are four guys with a passion for music: Ivan Lentini, frontman and voice the group, who with her deep voice diluted in Calabrian dialect shell arrows aimed at the perpetrators of the malaise that makes the world a difficult place in which to live with other people but at the same time, designs solutions also make it a better place, Mark Lentz, voice and percussion as well as wildcard of the group, with its movements inspired by the king of pop Michael Jackson crazy girls under the stage and injects some hint of transgression in the performances of the band; Claudio Chiera , bass, and author of several texts, which, with warm notes of his instrument evokes the sun and the sea of \u200b\u200bdistant Jamaica and at the same time, he opened his eyes to the difficult dynamics of survival of those who live from day to day social problems in and finally Mafalda Race, voice and sax, that with his skills from the eye-catching touch to notes of his companions and with its full beauty this framework for its disarming simplicity and its ability to photograph the present time in all its nuances. Together with co Marvanza then Enzo Nisticò musicians on drums, guitar and Musco Ilario Panetta Domenico keyboardist and music producer of Marvanza Reggae Sound.
Their walk in the spotlight right now is to understand the intrinsic value of the band, that after the first exhibition is invited, December 16, 2005, at the click of Forlì to open the concert Almamegretta. Even away from their land Marvanza the show and have great communication skill, hitting mostly found with their music and their words. After this experience, MRS have shown throughout their musical character also one of the most important musical events in Calabria: the May Day concert in 2006 in Locri, where, still poorly understood, have conquered the ten thousand present in the square sharing the stage with the likes of Francesco Baccini. The festival Kalabria Elettrika the MRS still give proof of their value, with artists such as Mario Venuti, Niccolò Fabi and Turi. Are also participating at the Salento Showcase 2007 before performing artists such as PapaLeu, RankinLele and Marina and before Terron Fabio and Nandu Popu of Sud Sound System. But the performances are still important, despite the hard work in the recording studio to prepare for their first album after the release of their first single, distributed throughout the Calabria and Sicily the magazine "on stage", the MRS also participate in the Coca Cola Summer Village Soverato, as principal guest of the evening. Their determination has captured the attention of Sonny Boy and Self Management, label number one in distributing independent Italian, who have combined their work for "Borders", the band's first album, containing 12 songs written by the four MARVANZA under the supervision of Domenico Panetta.
The CD is also a piece of exception: "The same mare", a song already sung by Mina and Piquette and reinvented by Marvanza with the collaboration of the extraordinary keyboardist Michael Orme Le Bon, version / catchphrase of ' Summer 2009 in all local and national radio.
The presentation of the album, which took place June 12, 2009 in their country of origin, has filled every corner of the promenade and also involved Studio 54 network, the number one radio station in Calabria, and the comic Gianni Cinelli, aka Ganjaman, with which Marvanza Cabareggae gave birth to a show repeatedly suggested during the summer of 2009 in which the notes reggae and comedy blend in an unmissable event.
After the presentation of the disc, then, the band began a tour full of dates and, above all, important events, during which turned out to be protagonists: so who took part in July 4, 2009, as special guests for Calabria, to 'XFactor Tour Casting in Catanzaro Lido, where, critically acclaimed, have shared the stage with the Sugababes . Also in July were the guests of the show "Together we can", next to the comic of Zelig and the Colorado Cafe, then take part, surprising those present at the Reggae Train SunFest 2009 in Catanzaro Lido, where they lined the Jamaican artist Mr. Vegas. But Marvanza have also participated in the white night of Rizziconi, where the applause of 50,000 spectators have been recalled, after their performance, to return to the stage to propose the hugely popular "The same mare." Here they shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Marco Masini, Luca Di Risio and other artists. Same happened to Roger Tower, where they lined Ivana Spagna and Cat Stevens, as well as in Catanzaro, where during the night sexy have trod a stage where they had already performed the Sugababes. Further confirmation of their value, too, was the opening concert of Le Orme, band history of Italian music scene, who performed in Acquaro.
summer full of commitments, then, during which they received the approval of a diverse audience and many artists up their presence in Sardinia a Narborough. The desire to make music to the timely awareness of the particular historical experience from their native land was the deterrent to blow up a real cultural revolution.
Exploiting the boxes where you can watch the MARVANZA REGGAE SOUND strive to break their silence that music, especially among young people, it is disarming, and decided to say no to violence and social decay. In their texts alternate cries of protest and the attention of an entire floor of undoubted importance to social issues: the common thread that ties their songs is the desire to change the world, a world where social injustice and repression seem to deny respect for the person as such. Despite these tough issues, the MRS in their songs mix humor and reflection, combining the Italian and the dialect of one of the many villages of Calabria as Monasterace muffin reggae and dance hall. It's an excuse to talk about the problems faced by a world governed "by dirty black hands", as they themselves describe in their songs the dynamics of power, from a state that does not care about our lands and our economic development.
Ahh how nice the bottom "our south" , A cats to raise the music, the sea , the sun, the r egg ae!
Greetings to MARVANZA REGGAE SOUND with a call ... You we put the Reggae and us ... we enjoy it with you!

E 'failed yesterday Mario Verdone, dean of Italian historical spectacle, and the world of the circus one of the fathers of historiography in the field worldwide. He was born in 1917. If was especially famous for its introduction in Italy of cinema studies in academia, or for his writings on avant-garde and futurism, the circus world owes him the historical legitimacy. His passion led him to attend the greatest circuses and artists of the century, until it became co-founder, in the '50s, the legendary Union des Historiens du Cirque, which connected the greatest scholars in the world with major research and exchange leaving precious materials. And 'thanks to him, among other things, that Fellini went deep into the world of track for the preparation of the film "The Clowns". In his books and articles, in his lectures, Mario had always pursued a bold thesis: the circus as a source of all arts. He had shown the decisive influence on the origins of the theater and above all of cinema. He leaves us a precious variety of sources, including the magnificent book "Entertainment Romano", the history circus in Rome through the centuries. His last public event was the academic conference at the Sapienza University in Rome to present our volume "History of the Circus," a gift that will always be honored. Mario we miss her cute laugh, the childlike enthusiasm for the shows, the lightness disenchanted and amused (as opposed to the severity of the many "scholars"), the discriminating taste for the arts and ironic without extremism and ideology: all of this on the solid foundations of a culture as vast rigorous, which gave way to put the many objects of his studies (illusionism from poetry, painting to drama) in broader contexts. Farewell Mario: even if you've had the good fortune of a very long life and in full awareness, we're gone too soon. But leave us a lot: Thanks!
Zoppè, the latest equestrian legend Archie and Diane Bennett
E ' died yesterday rider Alberto Zoppè, a legend in the equestrian circus of 900.
Alberto was born in 1922, the son of Louis and Emma Zoppè. In 1949, America is engaged in the Ringling Barnum Bailey Circus with his own troupe of horse and jockey riding at the pyramids, and the comic number in which a horse had success riding the famous dwarf puppy. The number was among those to have more space in the film "The Greatest Show on Earth" (1952) by Cecil B. De Mille. Zoppè had luck in America by participating in countless television shows.
In the '90s always had founded in U.S. Circus Lame, old Italian, who continues to have considerable success in the American cultural circuit.
Alberto was the penultimate survivor of his numerous brothers and sisters: Rudolph, William, Roger Tosca.
Albert leaves his sister Zaira, his wife Sandra, sons Young, Tino and Tosca.
The following two videos: the sequence of Alberto and puppies in the movie De Mille, and a rare home movie with the whole crew Zoppè on track.
One of the most striking figures of the golden age of the nightclub was the Australian duo of Archie and Diane Bennett. The combination of dance, acrobatics and contortion extreme difficilment reached similar levels, making their number one of the most prestigious attractions of the '60s and '70s. Archie Bennett was initiated by the young master to contortion Ted Ardini, after seven years as a soloist, he joined his sister Diane. Led by legendary Tibor Rueda (one of the legendary masters of the dance edell'acrobazia, before becoming manager of the "TreTenori"), it took 11 years to create their performance without equal. The Bennett triumphed everywhere: from the Lido in Paris at the Tropicana in Las Vegas, the Savoy in London, the fabulous Casino in Beirut. At the peak of their careers, in the early '70s enter the world of the circus thanks to Liana Orfei, which leads them on tour in Italy in a long tour of its Circorama. Here you can admire one of the few existing films of their performances (Collection Guy Tell):
In the '30s and ' 40, the large family of the Christians 'the most' sensational number of equestrian acrobatics ever seen in the history of the circus. Owners of a small circus in Italy in the late '20s, Christians began to be writing in more 'big European circuses, up to settle permanently in the United States.
acrobats jumping horse but also on the ground, acrobats with the weighing machines, balancing on poles, they performed in all the most 'great about America and the most' prestigious night in the Golden Age of club. Among them, Lucio Cristiani is remembered as the most 'great equestrian acrobat in history: the only one to propose a regular basis' a flip from first to third galloping horse.
In the '60s they were able to create their own Christian bros. Circus for several years one of the most 'largest in America. Here is a short movie filmed by MGM in 1936, in which we see only some of the incredible exploits in this family was capable of.
