Effective Spanish

Archive for the ‘teach yourself spanish free’ Category

At Milan Theatre in 2008 took place the first of “The Internet Show” with Marco Montemagno, promoted by the no profit association Codice Internet, http://www.codiceinternet.it.

It’s an itinerant internet evangelizing show throughout Italy (free for the audience): the mission is to explain the Internet opportunities to the masses (…in a new and entertaining way) and to contribute to fill the cultural digital divide gap (in Italy 6 out of 10 italians do not use Internet ).

The “presentation/show” is based on a speech always in synch with videos and includes several cool interactions with the audience: playing table tennis on stage (comparison with the internet rules), folding tshirt in 5 second, playing wii live with the audience on a maxi screen, opening a blog collectively live in 5 minutes, demonstrating how internet works with people throwing 2 table tennis balls all over the hall, and so on

Duration: 1h 40 mins

Subtitles: English, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Portoguese

featuring
two more one drop riddims that made huge waves in the dancehalls: ‘Invasion’ & ‘Maroon’. Produced by Andrew Prendergast & Josef Bogdanovich a.k.a. Black & White of Downsound Records this set opens with the former Jamaican chart topper “Hail The King” by one of last year’s most prominent newcomers Fantan Mojah, as one of the 10 vocals over the impressive acoustic Nyahbinghi riddim ‘Maroon’ featuring Bongo Herman’s percussion alongside Beze’s guitar. Richie Spice (who at Cologne’s Summerjam two weeks ago was a bit of a disappointment live for me - and several others I spoke) delivers the beautiful “Motherland Calling” before the absolutely stunning “Jah Is Greater” by Luciano, and Jah Mason’s excellent “Teach”. Norris Man’s partly vocodered (still something far more exceptional for a roots than a dancehall tune) “Everyday” is very much the tune Sizzla - featuring some of his high pitched vocals - would deliver on a very fine day, and is followed by Sizzla himself, who is in very fine form on the great I’ve Got To Set Myself “Free”. On the cover it is mentioned that all songs have been recorded and mixed at Downsound Records in Kingston Jamaica, except the vocal following: the still imprisoned Jah Cure’s “Conga Man” for which the beautiful vocal has been recorded in Spanish Town Prison. Anthony B also features the crowing in “Hail The King”’s intro at the start of his ‘ghettoman anthem’ “Bun Dem”. Junior Kelly convincingly delivers the angry “What Do You Say”, before (Mr.) Perfect delivers the excellent absolutely brilliant “Talk Black Marcus” before this treasure is unveiled in its pure “Maroon Instrumental”
