A music institution in London, Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues Bar is the only place that you need to go to if you want some blues in your life. Regular gigs pretty much every night of the week mean you can just turn up (no reservations so get there early) and be entertained. And you don’t need to know anything about the music - once the tunes starts the whole crowd gets rocking and you will get lost in the place. It doesn’t matter if you prefer modern or traditional sounds, this is a great venue to watch inspirational musicians performing on stage right in front of you. Expect the unexpected or just enjoy some classic blues tunes as you sip your drink. The late night atmosphere is electric and there are often impromptu jam sessions with the best musicians. Must do: 3 sets on a Saturday means you can hit the 4pm session and settle in for the long haul to get all the blues you need all day long" - https://thelondon100.com/aint-nothin-but "If you’re into your blues music or just fancy a bit of decent live music without having to pay more than a fiver then there ain’t nowhere to go but ain’t nothin but…! This is a small bar with big character, every night of the week you’ll catch a band or two here or at the very least a jam night. My advice is to try and grab a few seats down by the front to make the most of the music. What with the bar being long and narrow, if you turn up late you may find it a bit of a struggle to get any sort of view of the band…but if you’re just in it for the music then you’ll be happy to prop yourself up at the bar with a Whisky. Like the 12 Bar Club just at the other end of Soho this is one of the only true, gritty bars to have good bands on for cheap. Entrance is free Sunday-Thursday and before 20:30 on Fridays and Saturdays." - https://www.spottedbylocals.com/london/aint-nothin-but-blues-bar/

The building itself has an outside surface of Jura Gelb limestone. Canals have been dug to make the Opera look as if it were placed on an island just a bit larger than the building itself. The front of the opera was originally meant to have a large glass surface. However, as glass does not age well, the front was changed to have a metal grid in front of it. The foyer floor is Sicilian Perlatino marble. The wall of the auditorium towards the foyer, and the wood of the balconies, is maple wood. The ceiling inside the auditorium is made using 105,000 sheets of gold leafs, almost 24 carat (100%)." - https://architectuul.com/architecture/the-copenhagen-opera-house

Originally opening its doors as a coffee house: intended as a cultural meeting place for artists and mavericks alike, the Troubadour quickly became accredited as a West London institution; beckoning artists, poets, writers, musicians and advocates from all over the world, and was a cornerstone venue in the British folk revival. After an inspired visit to the Troubadour in it's early years, a young Doug Weston would ret n to West Hollywood from his trip to England and open his own Troubadour in 1957 - which would see its own role of importance in the Laurel Canyon scene and subsequently the American pop-culture of the 60's and 70's. Like us, the Troubadour West Hollywood would go on to influence the rest of the world. It played a formidable role in the launching of the careers of: Jackson Brown, Neil Diamond, Elton John, the Eagles, the Byrds, Carole King, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt and Tom Waits. ... In the rising sun of a new decade: the 1960's brought about great change in the London political and social scene. And as Chelsea's King's Road was leading in pop-culture and the Mod movement, British Jazz was also rising in popularity once again, and the Troubadour became a regular gig and hangout for London's finest Jazz musicians; most notable of players being Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones, who played in 1961 - where he was "found" by Alexis Andrew Nicholas Koerner and was quickly recruited to join Blues Incorporated. Along with Mr. Watts, other greats of the British Jazz scene such as: Lionel Grigson, Michael "Spike" Wells, Mick Pyne, Dave Gelly MBE, Daryl Runswick and David "Happy" Williams all took the stage throughout the 1960's. ... In December of 1962, a young Bob Dylan made his maiden trip to London after being invited by Philip Saville to appear in Madhouse on Castle Street, a drama Saville was directing for the BBC. Before departing for London, Dylan's mentor, Pete Seeger gave him the instruction to seek out Anthea Joseph who organised many of the folk events at the club and was often credited as "the Manager" of the venue. The Troubadour was the first venue Bob Dylan ever performed in while in the United Kingdom and he did so under the pseudonym Blind Boy Grunt. Here he would meet fellow folk legend, Martin Carthy who taught him the traditional English ballad, Scarborough Fair. Dylan would later go on to write his own song Girl from the North Country inspired by the English balladeer's rendition of the folk classic. Jimi Hendrix would perform at the Troubadour in the late sixties, after having moving to London to find popular success after he signed to ex-Animals bassist-turned-manager, Chase Chandler. Hendrix was introduced to Chandler in New York by Linda Keith - who was dating Keith Richards at the time - and together convinced Hendrix to move to England. The 1970's would see the decline of the British Blues Invasion and the psychedelic sixties sound: enter the birth of the blues powered hard rock and heavy metal. One of the most famous bands to come out of this era was Led Zeppelin who, after sell-out shows at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre, would come back to the Troubadour and jam late into the evening and early morning. And in more recent years, keeping with tradition, the Troubadour has had the privilege of seeing new, fresh faces, such as Adele, Ed Sheeran, Morrissey and Paolo Nutini come through on their way to topping the worldwide pop charts. The Troubadour proudly still hosts live music seven days a week." - https://www.troubadourlondon.com/history ""A really cool rock band" - Iggy Pop. Ese Okorodudu is founder and leader of the extended musical family that is Ese & The Vooduu People. Singer-songwriter Ese (vocals, guitar) is backed by a pool of some of the UK's best musicians.

Não Deixe o Samba Morrer - Alcione, Vesperata in Diamantina, Immersive Live Music Experience

#vesperata #brazil #immersiveaudio "One of the most traditional and authentic events in Minas Gerais Vesperata has its origins in the traditional musical practices of Diamantina in the 19th century. When in the period of vespers, musicians performed on the balconies of the mansions to play for people walking in the streets. And what are vespers? Vespers is part of the Liturgy of the Hours, which is celebrated in the afternoon, between 3 pm and 6 pm. Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais Recognized as an important event of tourism and culture in Brazil, Vesperata was awarded in 2010 by the Ministry of Tourism with the Roteiros do Brasil Trophy, for promoting Cultural Sustainability in the Municipality. With a repertoire full of good music and different styles, Vesperata is recognized as Cultural Heritage of Minas Gerais. In Diamantina, you will have the opportunity to watch one of the most beautiful musical shows of the local culture: The Vesperata that seems, at first glance, to be a serenade in reverse. Considered a “serenade in reverse” due to the fact that the musicians position themselves at the windows and play for the public on Rua da Quitanda, which is crowded with tables around the conducting maestros. Each presentation brings together more than a thousand people. The famous Vesperata de Diamantina, in addition to being a spectacle for the eyes and ears, is a source of pride for citizens of Diamantina. It is a unique event because nothing compares to the feeling of watching the presentation tasting a good wine, or, if you prefer, the famous cachaça from the North of Minas Gerais." - https://www.pousadadogarimpo.com.br/noticias-do-blog/temporadas-vesperata-diamantina/ ""Don't let samba die" is a samba composed by Edson Conceição and Aloísio Silva. It was recorded in 1975 by the singer Alcione, who would hit the charts at the beginning of the following year with this song, a track from her first studio album A Voz do Samba."
