The King of Reggae – Would Have Turned 79 On The 6th Of February.

Posted by www.rollinginbudapest.com in Budapest - Hungary, Entertainments. Tagged: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , .

Akvárium Club … In the middle of Downtown … District V., 12. Erzsébet Squ. Budapest

In February, concerts will be held all over the world to commemorate the most famous reggae musician of all time, Bob Marley.

In Hungary, Ladánybene 27 …

Will take the stage at the Akvárium Club with a show consisting exclusively of Marley songs. The concert on February 7,  (ticket available on the spot) which will feature several reggae performers, including Sena, CéAnne and Bottah Rankin, will feature well-known songs as well as rarities from Marley’s oeuvre. Bob Marley was an icon who sang about love and unity and made reggae music and Jamaica known worldwide. His international career really took off when Eric Clapton covered the song I Shot the Sheriff. Soon, however, songs that are now considered cult songs such as No Woman, No Cry, Rastaman Vibration, Redemption Song, One Love, Get Up, Stand Up or Is This Love were also at the top of the American and international charts, performed by Bob Marley and The Wailers. Bob Marley became a true world star, and in his homeland, Jamaica, he was a living legend, a prophet, the voice of the nation, who was even able to encourage opposing politicians to shake hands. He died tragically young, at the age of 36, of cancer. His spirituality, musical and social work still influence musicians of all generations to this day. Ladánybene 27 has been the ambassador of reggae music in Hungary since 1985. Bob Marley’s work had a great influence on the development of their music, even in those days when Jamaican music was hardly available in Hungary.

In 1996, the band released a Marley memorial album and holds a memorial concert every February. The concert features Marley’s well-known and lesser-known songs from his early Jamaican years to the end of his Tuff Gong world-conquering period … Tuff Gong is the brand name associated with a number of businesses started by Bob Marley and the Marley family. Tuff Gong is also a record label formed by the reggae group. ‘Tuff Gong’ comes from Marley’s nickname, which was in turn an echo of that given to founder of the Rastafari movement, Leonard “The Gong” Howell.

The screening of Somló Dávid started at 6 p.m.

As director said this will be the 28th incusive screening and the occasion of the reopening, a large-scale audiovisual program series entitled DOME_RELOAD awaiting the audience between January 14th and 19th. Also highlighted which will be the RE_LIVE premiere screenings. The renewed Sound Dome – Hang Dóm an exclusive cinema experience of works created on the hemispherical canvas providing a real sound and visual experience. Literally the dome that emits sounds, but not only sounds, the dome is also a projection screen. During the screenings, there are only sounds and visual appearances, recommended to locals and for foreigners of any language.

On the spot, anyone who sits in the middle of the space can turn their heads! The sound world comes to life, from the sounds of nature composed to music. In fact, the experience even goes beyond this dimension. This is a laboratory for the production of new sounds, alchemy at its highest level. Will be hosting screenings at several times every day, from nature films to art history works and animated short films to abstract, contemporary experimental films.

The Hungarian Music House sits at the City Park. Within the Dome Reload showing an insight into the exciting history of the Park, in collaboration with Fortepan. In addition to the premiere, previous screenings will return to the Sound Dome – Hang Dóm in a screening combined with an audience meeting together with the film by Dávid Szauder and Dávid Somló, to Platon Karataev’s award-winning film Sunbed – Napkötöző 360 and Tibor Szemző’s Kaleidoscope by Csoma, to Intergalactic Gateway presenting the operation of the Dome and experimental films made to the music of György Ligeti. This performance is also by music editor István Gőz.

The Sound Dome – Hang Dóm was designed by music editor – István Gőz director of Budapest Music center BMC – which was recently completed. The sound dome is located deep in the building -2 floor, next to the large exhibition spaces. It can accommodate around 60 visitors at a time, who can stand, sit or they can lie on bean bags in the middle of the space and admire the 360-degree surround sound, which will create the feeling that the displayed sounds and their sources are in tangible proximity. The sound dome draws attention to the universe of the sound world … in this sense it can be compared to a planetarium (as mention earlier upate). It is suitable for collecting the sounds of nature and, of course, above all, the unique performance of vocal and instrumental music. All this is accompanied by a projection on a surface stretched over the dome of the sound dome, which is suitable for evoking any visual experience related to sounds, from the starry sky to the underground cave world. He added: … Twelve years later, at the 1970 World Expo in Osaka, the experiment was repeated, also in the Philips pavilion, but in the form of a sphere. The artistic concept came from the most influential German composer at the time, Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007), who was considered one of the leading figures of new music through his monumental electroacoustic works. The structure of the inner wall of the sphere formed a geometric star structure, behind which 50 loudspeakers were hidden. The audience, seated in the middle of the space, could feel that they were “inside” the swirling music that sound around them, and could therefore experience the music in three dimensions, as a spatial experience. In addition to Stockhausen’s compositions, other contemporary composers also found a place in this repertoire, and even live classical works (Bach, Beethoven) were performed in the special space”

At the end of the Sound Dome – Hang Dóm projection the audience spoke about their experience… one said “The sound dome was able to provide a transcendent experience”.

Lauper will also be joined by special guests at the performances, who will be announced at a later date. Cyndi Lauper’s farewell tour is directed by Brian Burke and created and designed by BrianBurkeCreative and DX7 Design.

Cyndi Lauper has already sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Her iconic voice, punk look and captivating live shows catapulted her to international fame. Her debut album, She’s So Unusual, won her a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, and she became the first woman to have four top 5 singles from her debut album, including the anthemic “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.”

Lauper has released ten more studio albums, including classics such as “Time After Time” and “True Colors.” In 2013, she won the Academy Award for Best Original Score (Music and Lyrics) for the musical “Kinky Boots.” She is also a tireless activist, campaigning for the underprivileged, especially women, people living with HIV and the LGBTQ community.

The documentary will give viewers a glimpse into a celebrated and groundbreaking artist who has left a remarkable legacy through her art. In celebration of the tour and the film, Lauper recently placed her hand and footprints in a ceremony outside the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles.

My comment … Remarkable how my favorit from wayback as she makes “Drove all Night” original by Roy Orbison, droving her own with amazing holding high notes for almost 10-15 seconds, while adding vibrato and changing the pitch. Here you go from the ’80s … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2y1TZXc5DiY&ab_channel=CyndiLauperVEVO
