Kiwanuka´s Night at Arts Club Liverpool

Amazing Night at East Village Arts Club in Liverpool. The night began with a performance by a young and gorgeous Taylor Fowlis who delighted us with her great voice and impressive vocal range similar to world-renowned artists such as Christina Aguilera.

Followed by duo of young artists, led by vocalist Ady Suleiman. It reminded us a lot of Craig David, with catchy melodies and a seductive voice. Ingeniously accompanied by his guitarist who received loud applause from the audience.

Just after 10 pm, Michael Kiwanuka and his band filled the stage with a powerful introduction, gradually giving way to their romantic ballads. Great group with Michael at the helm, reminding us of artists such as Van Morrison and Terry Callier and soul music of the 60s. I foresee a huge future for these guys from London and look forward to hearing them again. 

Arts Club Liverpool next Concerts

The Arts Club in Liverpool has prepared a great poster for this weekend and the beginning of the next.

Today, June 28, comes from London departing Ugandan singer Michael Kiwanuka. With just an album, this soul singer from XXI century is compared with figures such as Terry Callier voices or Van Morrison.

For Saturday fever, we have Vince Kidd. A tough guy as he defines in his own Facebook, mixes pop with the r & b to color at scenario not untalented.

From the Angels come Hardson, Wilcox and Robinson. They are The Pharcyde and were in bands like De la Soul or tribed Called Quest. Definitely a night of Hip Hop that we can not lose. Monday on Arts Club.

"Inside Out Exhibition" on FACT Museum

A few days ago we were at the opening of the exhibition Inside Out at the Museum of Liverpool where FACT commemorated its 10 years of existence.

Upon entering the doors of the building we had before us "Invisible ARtaffects" Manifest.AR. They presented their ideas about how augmented reality can broaden horizons in the world of art and even in all aspects of daily life.

If we go into the crowd, it is not difficult to be drawn in by the big sign on the back entrance lights. The question is clear, "Capitalism works for me? Rate: True or False. The author of the work Steve Lambert resumes saying "talk about capitalism is like going to a person and say I can talk to you about Jesus??"

The interaction with the individual at first becomes "TransEurope Slow" Uncoded work Collective . On a bike ride you can visit the most emblematic places in Liverpool, all subjectified with the point of view of the inhabitants of the city.

In room 2 we had the performance center created by Katarzyna Krakowiak and Ralf Meinz . "Fall" is an environment in which drastically alters the architecture of the space and sound from very mundane street recordings.

Finally the little big building Hehe,"Fracking Futures". These artist engineers show us a scale model of an innovative process known as fracking to extract gas. Fracking is short for "hydraulic fracturing" and breakthroughs would use not only ecologically, but also economically.

To end the opening ceremony in the best possible way, we moved to the open terrace of the Kazimier acompanied by the rhythm of the DJs, beer and projections that illuminated the night.

África Oyé en Sefton Park este fin de semana

Y la primera entrada del blog será para proponeros un fin de semana muy atractivo, con color y a ritmo de timbal. Y es que en Sefton Park, el gran parque de Liverpool acoge este 22 y 23 de Junio el África Oye, el evento de música africana más importante del Reino Unido. Según la Revista Songlines, este festival está entre los diez más importantes del 2013. Habrán bandas de prestigio provenientes de Zimbawe, el Congo o Ghana.

El festival lleva nada más y nada menos que 21 años celebrándose,  desde 1992 y cada vez tiene una mayor presencia del público por su identidad y diferencia con otros festivales que pueblan el panorama veraniego. Y encima, es gratis. Solo rezaremos porque haga buen tiempo.

Si queréis aquí tenéis una pequeña muestra de lo que el año pasado se pudo ver sobre el cesped del Sefton Park os dejo el enlace: http://baytvliverpool.com/vod/?vid=MBV50053e1dceaa4
