Erykah Badu è nata come Erica Abi Wright a South Dallas, Texas, nel 1971. Il lavoro della madre, attrice, ha evidentemente avuto un impatto enorme sulla piccola Erykah, che a soli 4 anni era già su un palco del “Dallas Theatre Centre”; sempre grazie all'influenza materna la piccola Erica si cimenta nella pittura, nel canto e nella danza, sognando di seguire le orme dei suoi artisti preferiti: Stevie Wonder e Chaka Kan. Erykah cresce proprio quando avviene l'esplosione del fenomeno musicale dell'Hip Hop; così a 14 anni l'artista inizia a fare del free style per una radio locale chiamata "Knon", aiutata dal beat di un altro esordiente, il futuro trombettista Jazz Roy Hargrove, e decide di utilizzare un nome d'arte, considerando il suo nome originale come un nome da schiava. Erica diviene Erykah, utilizzando il suffisso "kah" "luce interiore", e come cognome prende Badu derivante dal fraseggio tipico del jazz ("ba-doo"); più tardi l'artista scoprirà che il termine Badu in arabo significa "verità e luce".
La musica di Erykah Badu è fortemente ispirata da r&b tradizionale, hip hop e jazz; alcuni definiscono il suo stile musicale Conscious Hip-hop, per via dei suoi testi incentrati su una filosofia urban molto personale e spesso caratterizzati da riflessioni politiche e sociali definite dai critici "mistiche" e di difficile interpretazione e che, a detta di molti critici, lanciano sfide emozionali agli ascoltatori. La critica la considera una delle personalità musicali più eclettiche e fantasiose del nuovo millennio, oltre che una delle più influenti artiste neo-soul degli ultimi quindici anni.

An infrared tip of mine was published in a magazine article about digital infrared photography. Check out the "More tips" section in the middle-right of the page :-)
A few months back I was asked if one of my photos could be used for The Diplomat, an Australian news magazine calling themselves "the premier international politics and business magazine in the Asian region". They were running an article about chess in India and wanted to use my photo Your move.
I just got the magazine and I couldn't be more excited. Sure, it's a small little photo in the story but I got a byline! Regardless of how small, I think it's always a thrill to see your name in print.

Opening-act di Cosmo il 2 febbraio 2019 a Milano, al Mediolanum Forum di Assago, M¥SS KETA.
Una vita in Capslock è il titolo del primo album di M¥SS KETA, l’angelo dall’occhiale da sera, la diva definitiva dal volto velato e regina suprema dell’eccesso.
Il disco è un vero e proprio viaggio interiore che ha portato M¥SS KETA a esplorare nuove sonorità, mostrando la maturità acquisita in questi anni.
L’#UVIC Tour ha preso il via lo scorso aprile dai Magazzini Generali di Milano, la città che l’ha vista nascere e diventare “la stella più brillante dello star system contemporaneo”.
Un live esagerato che inaugura il nuovo capitolo della vita di M¥SS KETA, che sceglie definitivamente la selva oscura e perde la retta via per trasformarsi “da domata a domatrice, diventando protagonista di una vita sfrenata, incontrollabile e surreale: Una vita in Capslock.”
M¥SS KETA - la cui identità non è mai stata resa nota, così come il volto, mostrato sempre coperto sia durante gli spettacoli dal vivo che negli scatti promozionali - ha esordito nel 2013 con il brano “Milano, sushi e coca”, al quale sono seguiti “In gabbia (non ci vado)”, “Burqa di Gucci”, “Le ragazze di Porta Venezia”: le prime canzoni registrate dall'artista e diffuse al pubblico per mezzo dei social network sono state raccolte, nel 2016, nel "best of" “L’angelo dall’occhiale da sera: col cuore in gola". Nell’estate del 2017 la cantante pubblica per l’etichetta La Tempesta l’EP “Carpaccio ghiacciato”, prodotto da Motel Forlanini, alla realizzazione del quale prendono parte, tra gli altri, Riva e Populous, quest'ultimo coinvolto come produttore del singolo “Xananas”. Il 20 aprile del 2018 esce per Universal Music/La Tempesta il primo album di Myss Keta, "Una vita in Capslock": prodotto da un team composto da RIVA, Populous, Clap Clap, Bot, Zeus! e H-24, il disco vede le partecipazioni di di Birthh ai cori in "Inferno" e "Ultima botta a Pargi" e di Adele Nigro (Any Other) al sax sempre in "Ultima botta a Parigi". Tra gli autori dell'album, oltre alla stessa cantante e RIVA, ci sono Simone Rovellini, Dario Pigato e il collettivo di creativi milanesi raggruppatosi intorno al nome di Motel Forlanini.
Secondo quanto ha dichiarato l'artista, sarebbe andata in vacanza con l'avvocato Gianni Agnelli, sarebbe stata la prima musa di Salvador Dalí ed Andy Warhol e avrebbe avuto dei flirt con note personalità della politica e dello spettacolo. Ha anche asserito di aver avuto diciotto anni negli anni settanta e diciannove nel 2001.
Alla chitarra, Giungla, pseudonimo di Emanuela Drei, cantautrice di base a Bologna, già voce e chitarra di Heike Has The Giggles ed ex bassista di His Clancyness.

I Twenty One Pilots, celebre duo americano conosciuta soprattutto per il genere a cavallo tra l'alternative e l'hip hop e la forza dei loro live, arrivano in concerto in Italia con il Emotional Roadshow Tour, il 7 Novembre 2016 al Mediolanum Forum di Assago a Milano.
I Twenty One Pilots sono un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi nel 2009 a Colombus, Ohio. Dal 2011 il duo è formato dal cantante, tastierista e chitarrista Tyler Joseph e dal batterista Josh Dun. La musica della band è stata descritta come un mix di indie pop, elettronica e rap.
Hanno raggiunto la notorietà internazionale con il singolo Holding on to You e conseguentemente con l'album del 2013 Vessel. Il suo successore, Blurryface, viene pubblicato nel 2015 e debutta direttamente al primo posto della Billboard 200. A distanza di un anno, nel febbraio 2016 il singolo Stressed Out scala le classifiche di tutto il mondo diventando la prima grande hit internazionale del duo. Il successo viene riconfermato lo stesso anno con il brano Heathens.
Il nome Twenty One Pilots è stato ispirato da una famosa opera di Arthur Miller intitolata Erano Tutti Miei Figli.
A short comic play by John Quine, published by S. K. Broadbent in 1909.
The play is set on the Isle of Man, but it has no indication of where - other than the farm of Ballabeg (one of the most common farm names on the island!).
It is written generally in a Manx dialect and it is 32pp long.
The play revolves around two people having the same name, which enables them to get the marriage that they want.
It is perhaps not the best Manx play there is (when compared to Shimmin or Cushag), but it is still very enjoyable. The final act is the highlight by far, lifting off completely from the rather plodding opening acts.
As well as publishing this play, John Quine had also in 1909 become the canon of St. German's Church, the cathedral in Peel. Quine is best remembered for his novel, 'The Captain of the Parish', published in 1897 and mentioned by Mona Douglas as "accounted by many people the best Manx novel ever written."
Quine also had a great interest in archaelogogy, although some of his theories in this area have been, perhaps rightly, mocked even since he first posed them.
His Wikipedia page can be found here:

Bunion cartoons created by George Martin were published in my local newspaper The Leicester Mercury.
The Postcard
An Art Colour Series postcard that was published by Valentine & Sons Ltd. of Dundee and London. The image is taken from an original watercolour by Brian Gerald.
The card was posted in Rothesay using a 2d. stamp on Friday the 27th. May 1949. It was sent to:
Mrs. Anthony Rogers,
30, Thurloe Street,
South Kensington,
London SW7.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Glen & I have just
enjoyed a lovely sail
down the Clyde.
Looking forward to
seeing you on
Saturday,
Love,
M."
Brian Gerald and Valentine & Sons
Walter Henry Sweet (1889 - 1949) studied at the Exeter School of Art under the guidance of the very successful watercolour artist, John Shapland. Working locally, he exhibited his paintings in the early 1900's.
'Brian Gerald' is a pseudonym, apparently made up from the first names of Walter's two sons.
He joined the Devonshire Regiment for the duration of the Great War and then moved to Dundee where he became a commercial illustrator for James Valentine & Sons, postcard makers.
The war took a considerable toll on his mental health and greatly damaged his art career, when he would have been in his prime. Nevertheless he was a prolific painter, primarily of street scenes, moorland, and seascapes for his employer.
While he covered the whole of the UK, Brian's work is particularly associated with coastal holiday destinations such as Cornwall, Devon, and the Isle of Wight.
Gerald also produced a famous series of art-drawn postcards documenting the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow, capturing Art Deco landmarks such as Tait's Tower and the various pavilions.
Valentine & Son printing company was founded in 1851 by James Valentine and went on to become the leading manufacturer of picture postcards in Scotland (which would have been from around the 1890's). They employed a number of artists to create their 'Art Series' range, of which Brian Gerald was arguably one of their best.
In total they created some 2,500 'Art Series' images using a number of artists, and many of these paintings were taken directly from photographic postcards already in the archives.
Purchased in 1963 by games manufacturer John Waddington Ltd, Valentine's was sold again in 1980 and ceased trading in 1994.
Gerhart Eisler
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 27th. May 1949, Gerhart Eisler was set free by a British magistrate who ruled that the US offence with which he was charged was not extraditable.
Gerhart Eisler (20th. February 1897 – 21st. March 1968) was a German politician, editor and journalist.
Along with his sister Ruth Fischer, he was a very early member of the Austrian German Communist Party, and then a prominent member of the Communist Party of Germany during the Weimar Republic.
Jo Ann Harris
The day also marked the birth in Los Angeles of Jo Ann Harris.
Jo Ann Harris, who was born Jo Ann Marcovitch, is an American actress known for her many film and television roles beginning in 1967.
In the 1971 film The Beguiled, she portrayed a 17-year-old who seduced Clint Eastwood's character.
Her other films include Maryjane (1968), The Gay Deceivers (1969), The Sporting Club (1971), The Parallax View (1974), Act of Vengeance (1974), Cruise into Terror (1978), and Deadly Games (1982).
Jo Ann's voice acting work includes the voice of Tina in the 1973 Hanna-Barbera animated series Goober and the Ghost Chasers, the animated film Oliver & Company (1988), and various episodic characters in The Simpsons.
Jo Ann was married for many years to television and film writer/producer Jerry Belson. They had two children together, Julie and Willi. Harris was widowed when Belson died in 2006.
Robert Ripley and Believe it or Not!
The 27th. May 1949 also marked the death at the age of 58 of Robert Ripley.
Robert Ripley was an American cartoonist, entrepreneur, and amateur anthropologist, who is known for creating the Ripley's Believe It or Not! newspaper panel series, television show, and radio show, which feature odd facts from around the world.
Subjects covered in Ripley's cartoons and text ranged from sports feats to little-known facts about unusual and exotic sites.
He also included items submitted by readers, who supplied photographs of a wide variety of small-town American trivia ranging from unusually shaped vegetables to oddly marked domestic animals, all documented by photographs and then depicted by his drawings.
-- Robert Ripley - The Early Years
LeRoy Robert Ripley was born on the 22nd. February 1890, in Santa Rosa, California, although his exact birthdate is disputed.
He dropped out of high school after his father's death in order to help his family, and at age 16, he began working as a sports cartoonist for various newspapers.
In 1913, he moved to New York City. While drawing cartoons for The New York Globe newspaper, he created his first "Believe It or Not!" cartoon, published in the 19th. December 1918, issue. With a positive response from readers, the cartoon began appearing weekly.
In 1919, Ripley married fourteen-year-old film actress Beatrice Roberts, a child 15 years his junior. They divorced in 1926.
Robert made his first trip around the world in 1922, publishing his travel journal in the newspapers.
Ripley became fascinated with unusual and exotic foreign locales and cultures. Because he took the veracity of his claims quite seriously, in 1923, he hired a researcher and polyglot named Norbert Pearlroth as a full-time assistant.
In 1926, Ripley's cartoons moved from the New York Globe to the New York Post.
Throughout the 1920's, Robert continued to broaden the scope of his work, and his popularity increased greatly. He published a guide to the game of American handball in 1925. In 1926, he became the New York State handball champion, and also wrote a book on boxing.
With a proven track record as a versatile writer and artist, he attracted the attention of publishing mogul William Randolph Hearst. In 1929, Hearst was responsible for Believe It or Not! making its syndicated debut in 360 newspapers and 17 languages worldwide.
With the success of this series assured, Ripley capitalized on his fame by getting the first book collection of his newspaper panel series published.
-- Robert Ripley - The Later Years
On the 3rd. November 1929, he drew a panel in his syndicated cartoon saying:
"Believe It or Not, America
has no national anthem."
Despite the widespread belief that "The Star-Spangled Banner", with its lyrics by Francis Scott Key set to the music of the English drinking song "To Anacreon in Heaven", was the United States national anthem, Congress had never officially made it so.
In 1931, John Philip Sousa published his opinion in favor of giving the song official status, stating:
"It is the spirit of the music that
inspires, as much as it is Key's
soul-stirring words."
By a law signed on the 3rd. March 1931 by President Herbert Hoover, "The Star-Spangled Banner" was adopted as the national anthem of the United States.
Ripley prospered during the Great Depression, netting $500,000 a year by the end of the 1930's.
He employed a large staff of researchers, artists, translators, and secretaries to handle a deluge of suggestions for new oddities to report – and he traveled the world in search of curiosities.
Funding for Robert's highly publicized global travels were provided by the Hearst organization.
Always in search of the bizarre, he recorded live radio shows underwater and from the sky, the Carlsbad Caverns, the bottom of the Grand Canyon, snake pits, and other exotic locales.
The next year, he hosted the first of a series of two dozen Believe It or Not! theatrical short films for Warner Bros. and Vitaphone, and published a second collected volume of Believe it or Not! panels.
Ripley also appeared in a Vitaphone musical short, Seasons Greetings (1931).
After a trip to Asia in 1932, he opened his first museum, the Odditorium, in Chicago in 1933. The concept was a success, and at one point, Odditoriums were in San Diego, Dallas, Cleveland, San Francisco, and New York City.
At this point in his life, Robert Ripley had been voted the most popular man in America by The New York Times, and Dartmouth College awarded him an honorary degree.
World travel became impossible during World War II, so Ripley concentrated on promoting charities.
-- Robert Ripley on TV
In 1948, the year of the 20th. anniversary of the Believe it or Not! cartoon series, the Believe it or Not! radio show drew to a close and was replaced with a Believe it or Not! television series.
This was a bold move on Ripley's part, given the small number of Americans with access to television at this early time in the medium's development. He completed only 13 episodes of the series before he became incapacitated by severe health problems.
-- Robert Ripley's Cartoon Series
Ripley's cartoon series was estimated to have 80 million readers worldwide, and he is said to have received more mail than the President of the United States.
He became a wealthy man, with homes in New York and Florida, but he always retained close ties to his home town of Santa Rosa, California.
He made a point of bringing attention to the Church of One Tree, a church built entirely from the wood of a single 300-ft (91.4-m)-tall redwood tree, which stands on the north side of Juilliard Park in downtown Santa Rosa.
-- Robert Ripley's Associates
Ripley claimed to be able to prove every statement he made because he worked with professional fact researcher Norbert Pearlroth, who assembled Believe it or Not!'s array of odd facts, and also verified the small-town claims submitted by readers.
Pearlroth spent 52 years as the feature's researcher, finding and verifying unusual facts for Ripley, and after Ripley's death, for the syndicate editors who took over management of the Believe it or Not! panel.
Another employee who edited the newspaper cartoon series over the years was Lester Byck. Others who drew the series after Ripley's death include Art Slogg, Clem Gretter (1941 – 1949), Paul Frehm (1938 – 1975), who became the panel's full-time artist in 1949, and his brother Walter Frehm (1948 – 1989).
-- The Death and Legacy of Robert Ripley
On the 27th. May 1949, at the age of 59, Robert died from a heart attack in New York City.
He was laid to rest in his home town of Santa Rosa in the Oddfellows Lawn Cemetery.
Ripley's ideas and legacy live on in Ripley Entertainment, a company bearing his name and owned since 1985 by the Jim Pattison Group, a privately held company based in Canada.
Ripley Entertainment airs national television shows, features publications of oddities, and has holdings in a variety of public attractions.
These include Ripley's Aquarium, Ripley's Believe it or Not! Museums, Ripley's Haunted Adventure, Ripley's Mini-Golf and Arcade, Ripley's Moving Theater, Ripley's Sightseeing Trains, Guinness World Records Attractions, and Louis Tussaud's Wax Museums.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by E. T. W. Dennis & Sons Ltd. of London and Sevenoaks. The card was posted in Worthing using two ½d. stamps on Wednesday the 24th. September 1919. It was sent to:
Miss P. Elliott,
16, Kenilworth Road,
Anerley,
London SE 20.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear P,
Just seen Mother off -
I daresay you will be
glad to have her back -
your gain is my loss.
It does not look quite
so fine - But I hope it
will improve by morning.
Love Dad."
The Schneider Trophy
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 24th. September 1919, an Italian Savoia 13 became the only competing aircraft to finish the 1919 Schneider Trophy race after poor weather grounded so many others.
However it was disqualified for missing a turning buoy.
When judges asked pilot Guido Janello to complete another lap, he ran out of fuel.
Spurgeon Neel
The day also marked the birth in Memphis, Tennessee of Spurgeon Neel.
Spurgeon was an American army medical officer, first commander of the United States Army Health Services Command.
He is best known for pioneering medical evacuation of battlefield casualties using aircraft.
Neel's innovations in battlefield medicine greatly improved the survival rates for wounded soldiers. In the Great War, 8% of all injured men died of their injuries.
However in WWII it was 4.5 %; in Korea, 2.5%, and in Vietnam, 1.5%.
Neel attributed the lowering mortality rate to (1) the helicopter, (2) whole blood, (3) hospitals, and (4) highly trained personnel. As Neel pointed out, it was the medic under fire in whose hands rested the life-or-death decision for the wounded man.
Spurgeon, who was a recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal, Legion of Merit, and Bronze Star Medal, died at the age of 83 on the 6th. June 2003, in San Antonio, Texas.
He was laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Marcel Raitre of Rouen.
Rouen
Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France, and is relatively close to the English Channel. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais.
“Upon approaching Rouen one is sure to be struck
by the insolent daring of its situation. Lying on a
sloping plain beside the river, it seems to disdain the
well-nigh impregnable site afforded by the steep cliffs
which rise just to the northeast.
The history of the city bears out the audacity of its
location. Through all the centuries, its inhabitants
concerned themselves so continuously in conquering
other peoples that little time was left in which to
consider the security of their own homes.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th. to the 15th. centuries.
From the 13th. century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive.
Severely damaged by a wave of bombing in 1944, Rouen nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and busy seaport, which is the fifth largest in France.
Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles Museum, and Rouen Cathedral.
“Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rouen
when viewed from a distance is the great number
of its spires that shoot up above the housetops,
earning for it the sobriquet of the City of Churches.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Sadly not all of those churches are still there because of the ravages of war.
Seat of an archdiocese, Rouen also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
Rouen Cathedral
Rouen Cathedral was commenced in the 12th. Century on the site of an earlier structure. It has a Roman crypt.
The Butter Tower dates from the 16th. century. The name of the Tour de Beurre comes from the fact that butter was banned during Lent, and those who wished to carry on eating it had to donate 6 Deniers Tournois towards the building of the tower. Practically everyone in Rouen must have carried on eating butter in order to fund a tower like that!
The Victorian cast-iron Lantern Tower in the centre of the building made the cathedral the tallest building in the world from 1876 until 1880, when it was overtaken by Cologne Cathedral.
The Lantern Tower was designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Alavoine who proposed the use of cast iron, a modern material for the time, because it was less combustible than wood, and lighter than stone. The Lantern Tower took 50 years to construct. The 151 metre height of the spire still makes Rouen Cathedral the tallest cathedral in France.
The presence of a lantern tower at the crossing of the transept is a frequent feature in churches in Normandy (St. Ouen in Rouen, and Bayeux) and in England (Gloucester, Salisbury, and Winchester).
The lantern is in a bulge in the ironwork near the top of the spire, which is surmounted by a weathercock.
The Cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart. His bowels were buried within the church of the Château de Châlus-Chabrol in the Limousin. The cathedral seems to have got the better end of that particular deal!
Claude Monet painted a series of studies of the cathedral's façade 1894. Roy Lichtenstein also made a series of pictures of the front of the building.
The Cathedral has had to put up with a lot of wilful destruction during its lifetime:
- The Calvinists damaged much of what they could easily reach during the religious wars of the 16th. Century - the furniture, tombs, stained glass and statuary.
- The French State nationalised the building in the 18th. Century, and sold some of its furniture and statues to make money. The chapel fences were melted down to make guns.
- In WW2 the Cathedral was first bombed in 1944, taking 7 bombs. The bombs narrowly missed destroying a key pillar of the Lantern Tower, but damaged most of the south aisle, and destroyed two medieval rose windows. One of the bombs was fortunately a dud and failed to explode.
- As a consequence of a subsequent WW II bombing, the north tower, on the left of the façade, was entirely burned. During the fire the stonework calcified and the bells melted, leaving molten metal on the floor. The cathedral is still being restored after the extensive damage incurred during World War II.
Also, during the violent storm of December 1999, a copper-clad wooden turret weighing 26 tons fell into the Cathedral and damaged the choir and the stalls. The three other turrets were removed for maintenance and safety purposes before being replaced in 2012.
The Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc was executed not far from the Cathedral in the Vieux-Marché on Wednesday the 30th. May 1431.
The famous depiction of 19 year old Joan of Arc's execution showing her on top of a pile of wood and straw is wrong.
The site for her execution comprised a stake at the centre of a large ring of wood, with a gap left for Joan to be led to the stake. Once she was tied to the stake and the gap closed, she was hidden from sight.
One authority has suggested that her body would have burnt in the following sequence: calves, thighs and hands, torso and forearms, breasts, upper chest and face.
However in all likelihood she would have died from heatstroke, loss of blood plasma and carbon dioxide poisoning before the fire attacked the upper parts of her body.
After Jeanne had expired, the English exposed her charred body so that no-one could claim that she had escaped alive, then burned her body twice more to reduce it to ashes in order to prevent the collection of relics.
They then cast her remains into the Seine.
A modern church now stands on the site of her execution.

from the Lalala Ressonance shoot out
I wrote an article on carp flies for the Fall 2010 issue of Hatches Magazine. This is the first two pages- all photos taken by me.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.
One of my shots in this weeks local Greenwich Time free newspaper , i will sign copies for a small fee ;-)

Arriva l’attesissimo tour di Ghali nelle più importanti arene indoor con tutto il suo immaginario da autentica superstar; il 29 ottobre èal Mediolanum Forum di Assago, a Milano.
“Ho finalmente lo spazio e il tempo per farvi vivere un’esperienza, perché lo spettacolo che sto scrivendo sarà una cosa mai vista prima”.
Ghali, pseudonimo di Ghali Amdouni (Milano, 21 maggio 1993), è un rapper milanese nato da genitori tunisini. Ha iniziato ad avvicinarsi all'hip hop utilizzando lo pseudonimo nome Fobia, poi diventato Ghali Foh.
Ha cominciato a fare rap a 11 anni, prima nel parchetto vicino casa (nel quartiere Baggio, a Milano) e poi con una crew di filippini. Registra in camera, con il microfonino della webcam e Acid Pro, un piccolo ep di otto pezzi masterizzati su cd e li regalarla nel quartiere. Affina lo stile ascoltando Joe Cassano, Inoki e Uomini di mare, dove lo stile verbale e gli incastri sono la base della loro musica. Nel 2012 fa parte dei Troupe d'Elite assieme a Er Nyah (che più avanti si farà conoscere come Ernia), Maite e FonzieBeat. Il gruppo pubblica un ep omonimo lo stesso anno per Tanta Roba (la label di Guè Pequeno) e Sony. I singoli estratti sono "Non Capisco Una Mazza" e "Fresh Boy". Nel luglio 2013 Ghali continua da solo pubblicando "Leader Mixtape" a nome Ghali Foh, rendendolo disponibile in free download dalla sua pagina Facebook. Molti dei pezzi del mixtape sono prodotti da Charlie Charles, e nella tracklist ci sono featuring con Sfera Ebbasta, Bushwaka, Maruego, e molti altri.
Intanto l’artista continua a conquistare numeri straordinari su tutte le piattaforme e i social: le views dei suoi video su YouTube hanno superato i 450 milioni, dopo aver battuto tutti i record con “Cara Italia” prodotto da Charlie Charles che, in poche ore dall'uscita, si è guadagnato la posizione n.1 nella TOP 200 charts di Spotify e ha raggiunto 4.200.000 views su youtube in un solo giorno (attualmente supera 70 milioni di views).
Il talento di Ghali va al di là dei confini della scena rap dalla quale proviene. È riuscito a creare un immaginario davvero potente - attraverso le parole, la musica, lo stile - che in pochissimo tempo l’ha portato al ruolo di superstar. I concerti nelle più importanti arene indoor di questo tour rappresentano il punto focale di tutto quello che finora la nuova scena italiana ha conquistato. Incontrarsi e condividere il live sarà un evento epocale e una grande festa per il numerosissimo pubblico che quotidianamente condivide con Ghali questa grande svolta.
Nella sua bio numeri straordinari: "Album", il suo primo album in studio, è il quinto più venduto dell'intero anno 2017 secondo i dati ufficiali Fimi/Gfk e in prima posizione come album che ha registrato più streaming su Spotify. Molti dei suoi brani sono stati certificati multiplatino: Ninna Nanna (quadruplo platino), Habibi (triplo platino), Happy Days (triplo platino), Pizza Kebab (doppio platino), Ricchi Dentro (doppio platino), Lacrime (platino), Cara Italia (platino), Vida (platino), Milano (oro), Libertè (oro), Boulevard (oro), Oggi No (oro), Ora d'aria (oro).
A short comic play by John Quine, published by S. K. Broadbent in 1909.
The play is set on the Isle of Man, but it has no indication of where - other than the farm of Ballabeg (one of the most common farm names on the island!).
It is written generally in a Manx dialect and it is 32pp long.
The play revolves around two people having the same name, which enables them to get the marriage that they want.
It is perhaps not the best Manx play there is (when compared to Shimmin or Cushag), but it is still very enjoyable. The final act is the highlight by far, lifting off completely from the rather plodding opening acts.
As well as publishing this play, John Quine had also in 1909 become the canon of St. German's Church, the cathedral in Peel. Quine is best remembered for his novel, 'The Captain of the Parish', published in 1897 and mentioned by Mona Douglas as "accounted by many people the best Manx novel ever written."
Quine also had a great interest in archaelogogy, although some of his theories in this area have been, perhaps rightly, mocked even since he first posed them.
