EAST HANNOVER (ANP/RTR) - Lamine Yamal en Pedro Porro hebben donderdag apart van de rest van de Spaanse selectie getraind in aanloop naar de WK-finale. Maar het tweetal is naar verwachting beschikbaar voor de wedstrijd van zondag tegen Argentinië, zei de Spaanse voetbalbond tegen persbureau...

retroViSOR – Chicha! (2014, Colombia)
Our next spotlight is on number 467 on The List, submitted by Cyrus.
On the surface, this is a really beautiful morning listen, with a mix of electronic music touching on jazz, lounge, rock, cumbia, and porro. I particularly love the last few more ambient/experimental tracks on the album, complete with some church bells, bird calls, and train noises, with the penultimate “Manguaré” being my favourite.
Digging deeper though, retroViSOR was a multimedia project formed in 2004 whose use of images and video was just as important as the music, all of it merged together to both celebrate Colombian history and music and raise awareness about the issues the Colombian people and land were(/are) experiencing. And so, there’s a lot more going on in this album than I initially gathered.
I can’t find any info in English so apologies if I get anything wrong by summarizing stuff I’ve read in translation,[1] but I believe this project was headed by Carmen Gil Vrolijk – a university professor who focuses on video art, videomapping, and multimedia – and musician/composer Camilo Giraldo Angel. Apparently seeing retroVISOR live was the ideal way to experience their music, as it was an immersive, somewhat psychedelic experience with various projected images and video mapping that would take you on a journey through Colombia. And, I’m not sure if these are band members themselves, but it seems that their live act included people wearing various animal heads (hippo, zebra, lion, etc.), just like the cover of this album.
And while, just reading that, it sounds like purely a lovely, trippy time, Chicha! addresses issues in Colombian society such as corrupt politicians/corporations and fighting for food sovereignty. The live performance of “Manguaré”, for example, was accompanied with images sourced from Greenpeace showing the destruction of Colombian ecosystems (including the Amazon rainforest) due to the greed of large corporations.
It seems the project is now defunct with this album being their last, so giving this (and their other two releases – Amazonas S.O.S. [2007] and the DVD VJ Sessions [2010] – if you can find them) a spin is the best we can do now to experience this intriguing project.
- I’m primarily leaning on a translation of this blog post, which is someone recounting ending up at a performance that turned out to be the release presentation for this album, and then digging into the band because they loved what they saw. ↩︎

La notizia - ammesso che di notizia si possa parlare - è che Zohran Mamdani andrà ad abitare nella residenza ufficiale dei sindaci di New York: una dimora da oltre 1.000 mq nell'Upper East Side.
Il trasloco durante il mandato non è imposto per legge, come non lo è abitare al 10 di Downing Street o al Quirinale, ma figuratevi se Nicola Porro si lasciava sfuggire l'occasione per spargere della mediocre ironia. -
Il giornalista Nicola Porro, indispettito per la consegna delle chiavi della città di Bari a Francesca Albanese, annuncia sui social che si riprende il pallone e cercherà un'altra sede per la kermesse "Ripartenze"..
Sarà difficile e doloroso per i baresi sopravvivere orbati della sublime zuppa di Porrro, ma ho idea che se ne faranno una ragione. -
Here's a couple of #porro in case someone is wondering... -

#Porro marcio, in marcia col passo dell'oca rappresenta l'aberrazione del giornalismo quello asservito al potere.

Nella testa di Nicola #Porro i dati di realtà svaniscono. I dati di realtà dicono che il partito che oggi si vanta per la gentile concessione di un dittatore ieri fu l'unico a non sostenere la vittima dei dittatore. Ma nella testa di #Porro, che si trova in una dimensione parallela, la liberazione di #Zaki diventa uno "smacco per la sinistra".

Nicola #Porro chiamava #Gretini quelli che lanciavano segnali d'allarme sulla crisi climatica e stimavano in 130 miliardi i danni potenziali. Ci dica lui che è così intelligente quanto valevano le vite umane sepolte dal ghiaccio della #Marmolada.
