How Long To Keep Weave Sewn In

A day of golf with Juan Pablo Montoya

Today November 24, I accompanied my parents to an event of their work in the San Andrés Club for them to make some pictures. And I was so excited, but then I saw that there was Juan Pablo Montoya and I was very excited, and wanted to take a picture with him and then I took it.

I liked because it was an idol that I had three or four years and had never seen and so I took the opportunity to take my picture, as you can see.

Besides that I could see the competition among many celebrities and professional golfers. I also played a golf tournament for Nintendo Wii participating in two categories: Children (under 15 years) and large (16 to below). Many of these children were very good to play golf and knew all the terms used in that sport. Instead I was a beginner did not even know what a Eagle.

I signed up last and thought I could not go to the next round of the tournament, when suddenly told that I was tied for the final, with another child. My mom, my sister and I were very surprised because to be a beginner at this game I had done very well. Then, when they played all the adult participants took the tiebreaker in children.

was a boy of eight years against me, but he was more experienced and his entire family was of golfers who made her bar and I was very nervous. Which managed to win it had a Wii. For one coup, he managed to win me. The important thing was that I had fun and I was proud to have reached the final, the first time I played golf on Wii.

And it was really fun today with my parents because I could be with them and learn a real golf course. Chao

What Is Normal Cm 7 Days Before Period

ANKLA RADIO (NATIONAL ROCK THE 80'S) SONGS AND STORY.

I do not feel identified with the act of copying and pasting articles made by other people (which I confess to have made a couple of times) for simple respect for their authors but in this case I took the Dare to do so because the lack of updated information on the members of the group Ankla (excellent group emerged in the mid-eighties.) This information took a very good work in a regional newspaper called "El Tiempo" and reflected by Flor Farias who updates us after many years on what became of the members of this group. With nothing more to say and I present this story as a gift Ankla first album called "Fantasy" ...

Pd. The photos of the group also belong to this issue of "Time."
Pd2. If anyone can get in touch with this blog Ankla guys are grateful.


After 20 years, the group remains in force
Ankla
Next to launch his fourth album, Angel Graffe account how was the experience left them success by rock-pop band Ankla the 80's and early 90's, when Venezuela and traveled abroad with major artists of the time
Flor FARÍAS

PUERTO LA CRUZ .- Facing the unexpected success of Ankla being so Young Angel Graffe was earning a lot of experience, traveling to countries like Mexico and stand before an audience that screamed wildly for songs like "Try to live without seeing", "Stories" and "Time goes," among many others.

Thus he, along with the rest of the musicians, meet much of their dream: an appearance on the Sabado Sensacional -They did on several occasions, which was an important springboard to be released and put on the radio several of the tracks on the album "Fantasia."

"Ankla went from being a provincial group of Puerto La Cruz, a national touring artists such as Ricardo Montaner, Ilan Chester, Yordano, Agni Mogollon and Melissa, the music stars at the time of the 80 and 90 were the best. "

also part of the "tour groups" where they shared the stage with other national groups as additus time, Floe and Pentagon.

already for 1991, building on the success of "Fantasia" was released the group's second album which they called "In Front", which involved musicians like Frank Quintero, Yordano and Frank Sinatra, and others like Carlos Pucchi.

A Pop-Latino style Graffe
that hopefully this album sounded much more national than the first, coming to occupy the top tracks like "Tu", "Best friend" and "bald."

"style pop Ankla was always a light touch to Latinos, much like they do today Juanes Los Babys, and we did it 90 years," says Angel.

But in the 1992, problems began for the label Rodven, because they start out the CD, worsened the economic situation, and record companies decide to work only with international talent, so it broke off relations.

However, Ankla managed to get the third disc, "American Dance", production of which only became known to the track "Reflections", because they had the promotion that had made the earlier works, and in view of the number of subjects they had written, began to give some to other artists such as the Project Group M, Gerges, and producer Rudy La Scala, who until now in constant contact.

And despite all the difficulties they had with the record companies, from then until today Ankla has not stopped playing or a weekend, she says Angel. Disco


Del Ankla door today only vocalist and drummer, because two years ago they became part of the Boner Alfonso (bass), Nelly Zambrano (vocals), Oscar Silveira (keyboards) and Abelardo Morales (guitar). Together

two years playing in Bambuda Bar, and thanks to the collaboration of employers and Jean Franco Agostinoni (father and son), along with Ruddy La Scala, are preparing a new CD out thinking next year, with new songs group.

“Para el disco que viene las letras son mucho más maduras, hablan de lo que se debe y lo que no se debe hacer, son más profundas que hace 20 años”, indicó el cantante.

Lo que no perderán será el estilo que identificó al grupo, “Ankla siempre tuvo un estilo, y para el nuevo disco lo vamos a mantener, pero sin olvidarnos de las nuevas generaciones, esa es nuestra esencia”, dice Graffe.

El nombre lo escogerán a través del un concurso por Internet, y dice el cantante que este material se lo debe a su hijo Ángel Daniel, de 15 años, quien ha sido el principal motivador de este sueño.

“Él cree más en mí I myself, like my other son Daniel Alejandro, 10, who are my fans. " Confidence

work
According to the vocalist, this is the only local group that has recorded more albums, they were many weeks in the top ten national and traveled all over for concerts.

As a message to the groups in training them not to copy styles or imitate anyone, just have to be satisfied, and once you have your hard, fight for it, but everyone says it does not work. "Trust in what they did because of thousand gates are closed, open." Angel

also thank you to the public Monagas state, which occur with some frequency because there are a club of fans and sold out to see them play.

"None of the musicians stop playing Ankla might not know how to live without music. Is a vice and a passion to which we owe much of what we have, and which also have lost many things. It's a double edged sword. " I tried to live

What Are Symptoms Of Gluten Allergy

Exclusive Interview with Gilberto Bermúdez (founder of Hydra Group)



Many of the musicians who serve on the music scene of 80's years in one way or another participated in rock pools, years later would prove partake of the Venezuelan music scene to work as producers and musicians career. This has been the case the likes of Frank Quintero, Pedro Castillo and a myriad of musicians that quite apart from their work publicly known have participated in the creative processes of many of the artists we know today, or we remember from decades past. Today I have the immense pride to interview a character that often keeps low profile but has the merit to participate actively in the national music scene, originally with his group "Hydra" and later by figures such as Ricardo Montaner, Melissa, Franco de Vita, Frank Quintero, Pedro Castillo, etc. We are talking of Mr. Gilberto Bermudez who was one of the founders of the Hydra cluster, a group that later would become 20 / 20. At the end of the interview can be found Hydra group items from his album "From one side to the other," I hope you enjoy this interview:

Interview with Gilberto Bermúdez-Who

detected first in your family that no one had an aptitude for music? How was the support from your parents?
The first person who noticed my aptitude for music was my maternal grandmother, Ana Luisa. She was an excellent pianist and from tiny moments I spent listening and watching how he played the piano. In my three years old, my grandmother advised my parents to put me to study music, as I repeated many of the things she touched. Without doubt, my grandmother knew I had a musical ear. Also, I loved to sing anything from tiny! Had it not been for my grandmother and my parents, who knows what would be my life now!


-studied music? Where?
Yes I studied music, of course. At four years old my parents enrolled me in a music school in my hometown of Maracaibo. I was a student of piano with Professor Eva Hermann, a German teacher based in Maracaibo. Also with Professor Josephine Cintron. They had a choir of children and in parallel began to sing and make music with my voice too. Accompanying my parents on their trips, I also studied music in Madrid and in Florence, and in Long Island, NY, USA. Upon returning to Venezuela, studied at the Conservatorio Superior de Música Simón Bolívar, El Paraíso, Caracas and in the Latin American School of Singing Carmen Teresa Hurtado, Caracas. In the area of \u200b\u200bClassical Singing I've been extremely fortunate to study with teachers Claudio Muskus, Irina Niculescu, Katia Ricciarelli, Isabel Palacios, Sara Catarine and renowned soprano Mirella Freni. I remember the "punishment" he received when doing something naughty, was the prohibition of playing the piano in my house ... it made me understand very early that I could not live without music. It was really that for me: a punishment.

-You started making music at a young age. In that age your first forays into musical group?
Arguably the first musical group to which I belonged was the choir of my school. I was just four years.

"When you discover that the music rather than a passion, would be a way of life for you and you could live on it?
was almost by chance, since I studied law at Andrés Bello Catholic University, Caracas, graduating as a lawyer. Say "was in the right place at the right time." They needed a keyboard to read music well, in order to integrate the Venezuelan singer Banda Colina. La Banda's headed guitarist Leo Quintero brother Frank Quintero. I auditioned and was selected.

Hydra "As born and who's made up?
Hydra is the result of the union of three persons: Mannel Muñoz (Bass), Angel Of Taramona (drums) and I (Keyboards and Vocals). All three studied at the Liceo San Jose de Los Teques and always made music together. The idea of \u200b\u200bforming a rock band with progressive tendencies, perhaps symphony ..., and Hydra born. We liked (and still we like) Yes, Styx, Gino Vannelli, Supertramp, Toto, etc. There were three Chamita with a huge desire to make music. We only had about 16 or 17 years old. Angel Mannel are talentosísimos ... and we are such good friends that one could say that we are almost brothers. Hydra is a consequence of the union of three great friends. That was the early '80s and now our friendship is even more profound: Angel and Mannel today form part of my family.

-The Hydra lyrics were very cool, simple and enjoyable. In that inspires you to compose?
composition work together Mannel always gave me a quick result, good standard and mostly very nice! The writing process we were given (and still gives us) with great ease, almost magical. Of course, every one of us up also individual, but always struck me the pair-Muñoz Bermúdez. Angel has very good songs and lyrics. In many of our songs involved three (most notably in the arrangements.) The important thing to remember is that we were three shaman who was not yet 20 years old. The theme of the lyrics of course reflected the experiences, feelings and dreams of a young man of that age. I dare say that with respect to the contents of the letters, Mannel was always more mature and deep, while the innocence came from Angel and me.

"Your tone of voice always sounded very similar to Pedro Castillo. Were aware of it?
hehehehe ...! In fact, I was not aware of it! Although much admired and Aditus Témpano group, I never thought that my voice seems both Peter, who certainly knew at that time and have maintained a close friendship since then, to the point that he invited me Aditus tests and Iceberg, which groups together to share the stage many times. Pedro Castillo is definitely a pop icon of Venezuelan music to me compared to only I can understand as a huge compliment! More recently, I played with Peter in his solo concerts. The idea is to always enjoy what you do and it is difficult not pass super well with it!

"Once released on LP. "From shore to shore," as the host of the public and the support of the label?
The Hydra album, "From one side to the other" was the result of hard work and dedication. We must remember that Angel, Mannel and I were students: Angel studying architecture, and I Mannel Ingeriería Civil Law (and we all eventually graduated.) The time you were spending a Hydra really worth gold! The label "Discomoda" was interested in us and offered us a recording contract under seal "Mucer." What I did not tell us was that we would have to record everything in a week and playing all live in the studio! Perhaps our inexperience in that direction did not allow us to realize what was happening. The sad truth is that this album sounds very bad. But we believed in our proposal and we carry the best we could. Despite its poor sound (a subject that completely escaped our hands), the public received our album with great interest and pleasure. Remember also that in that time, no sequencers, everything was played live! And the decision not to include the recording guitars also gave us a very particular sound, although we sometimes concerts we presented with a guitarist. We never imagined that so many people come to listen and sing our songs! One of the things I remember to play live with Hydra was this: to see the audience empathize and sing with us! It felt like no other new to me. I felt honored to see that our music liked so much! Discomoda we only recorded the album, never received more support from them. Everything else (concerts, tours, TV, radio, etc) was in our hands. Remember "Radio 790AM Difusora Venezuela? Around the same time, our friend and excellent announcer Marisela Bonilla got Hydra recorded the jingle that identified the station. That was my first foray into commercial jingles, work performed to date every day!

- and public presentations? That sites are presented?
As I recall, Hydra was made in the Polyhedron of Caracas, in the UTAL (San Antonio de Los Altos, Miranda). Also at the Concha Acústica de Bello Monte, Caracas. Also at the Plaza Brion in Chacaíto. In Puerto La Cruz played in the club of the then Hotel Meliá Puerto La Cruz. But many other sites that I can not remember ...

-Who were your musical idols in those years? Once
Mannel lent me an album of Gino Vannelli. Since that day I am a deep admirer of your work! Of course, Yes it was an inevitable influence too. And Queen has always struck me (maybe for that mix the lyrical rock, do not know, but the four musicians who formed Queen always left me speechless! The ability, stage presence and management of Freddy Mercury is a school for any engaged in this!)

"Your concern was always the" pop "or I was struck other genres?
I think the "pop" was the "natural", so maybe he felt more comfortable doing. However, there are always mergers genres in music you do. The rock is there. So "progressive" or "symphonic." I love fusion, but pop certainly is Hydra.

Hydra-edited many discs?
Only one: "From one side to the Other"

-Why leave the group?
At birth my first child, Carol, my life was complicated as expected. And did not have the time to devote to Hydra. I thought that the most "sensible" was to leave it there. I concentrated my efforts on working and making money to support my wife and daughter.

20/20 -The group born from the dissolution of Hydra. You can say you're the fourth member fee 20 / 20?
Hehehe! Well, that would have to ask Mannel or Angel, but I identify themselves emotionally. While I never played with 20/20, there are songs of this group to develop as Hydra: "The Gambler" and "Much More" are two of them. In any case, I always felt proud of my teammates and the success of 20/20.

"How is your relationship with the boys of 20/20 after leaving the band?
There are friendships that are lifelong and friendship which binds me to Mannel and Angel is one of them. I called them an opportunity to integrate the singer Delia Banda, of which I was Director. I think that was the last time we played all three together. While then we drifted apart a bit because of the commitments of each, always kept in touch with them. Could not be otherwise: as I said before, Mannel and Angel are part of my family. In the early 90's, I had the opportunity of producing and composing the songs for the band "The Cham", specifically the CD "Out of Darkness." Then also the first CD produced by the singer "Xiva." For this we Mannel collaboration in composition of many of the songs we recorded. This opportunity provided a reunion with Mannel, composing music again as we had always done: with great fluency and ease. Once again it was a very pleasant experience.

"Your career does not end with the release of Hydra and just start your long journey on the national scene. Tell us how was your experience working (in one of the most productive decades in terms of national talent) with the likes of Frank Quintero, Melissa, Ricardo Montaner, Felix Duque, Guillermo Carrasco, Pedro Castillo, etc?
The ability to work as a singer and keyboardist with all these artists was something that immediately assimilated as a way of living. The income was good and I felt really fortunate to work on something that I liked as much as the music and also get paid well for it! Leo Quintero (director of Hill's band, artist who really started) introduced me to his brother Frank Quintero. Touching, sharing music and traveling with Quintero was undoubtedly a real school for me. I think that most of the tools we use today as a musician I owe them both. Frank is a friend whom I esteem, respect and greatly appreciate. Her CD "Good" was recorded in Los Angeles, CA, USA in 1999. I was there with Frank, with Peter Castillo Nelson Sarda, Leo Quintero, Abraham Laboriel, Alex Acuna, Vinnie Colaiuta, Don Grusin, and Jerry Hay, among others. And with regard to the latter, the truth is that never have known and shared with fellow luminaries of music it not been for Frank. I remember Peter Nelson, Leo and I went to see Scott Henderson playing in Los Angeles, with his band "Tribal Tech". Uuuufff! Impressive indeed! Twenty years have passed since I entered the band and even today Frank Quintero Frank invited me to play his music with him, which is a privilege, an honor and a pleasure. Melissa worked well. I remember his time as "queen of rock! Thanks to her, I met Ricardo Montaner, who appointed me Director of Banda in the period from 1987 to 1991. Ricardo made tours throughout America and I remember singing in the chorus of his album "A Touch of Mystery" with my buddy Felix Duque, who then worked in the group "Barranco", which was also Director. Guillermo Carrasco is a gentleman, a great musician with a wonderful voice. You could say that playing with him is never a "work" because it is too funny, artistic and enjoyable! Since 1999, also played Soledad Bravo, wonderful artist and singer. I was with Loneliness in the city of Hannover, Germany Expo 2000 World and in Morocco in 2004. I participated as a singer in the show "Navijazz" with the excellent jazz pianist Gerry Weil (who was my teacher of Contemporary Harmony) in December 2006 (I think I invited again this year.) I really am lucky: I can not complain!

"Certainly we've seen it work, nothing more and nothing less than Franco de Vita. From when you work with him and how has your experience within the team of Franco?
Franco's case is curious: I always wanted to play with him, but the opportunity never presented itself. I even went to see live concerts with my wife! But finally happen in 1992, Luis Romero (musician, keyboardist and music producer) called me to join the chorus of the album "voices around me." Of course, I went away! I had already crossed several times with Franco in Venezuela and abroad on various occasions, but this time I shared many days with him and all the crew, musicians and engineers. of his new album. I got to know them better. Singing in the chorus of songs like "Hot and Cold", "do not die Hope", etc. has no description! His proposal innovative and always seemed very "cutting edge" to what you used to listen in Venezuela for the moment. However, it was four more years before Franco himself called me to join his band live. I had just had surgery for myopia with laser, but I agreed! A few days later I went to Franco to Cuzco, Peru, and there was my first concert with him. It was December 1996. Since then I have worked with him and I have eleven years there! Incredible! I have known and traveled throughout North, Central and South America and Europe. Just days ago I was at home in Madrid (I spent my birthday there, October 11). We did three concerts: Madrid, Vigo and Tenerife. It seems that things are only at the time. My experience with Franco De Vita a story in full progress.

-many countries have you visited in your role as a musician?
Wow! Difficult to answer, but I will attempt: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, Aruba, Panama, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Mexico (I go once a month with Franco), USA, Spain, Germany and Morocco ...! A lint! Hahaha!

-Gilberto, has proven to be a very versatile musician but few would imagine you singing "opera" and yet you do it extremely well. As you discover you have the potential to sing this music?
Well, that comes from little me! My grandmother and my mom always listened to classical music, opera and operetta. I grew up listening too, so I developed a taste for aesthetics. I used to lock in a closet of my house and sing (perhaps scream?!) Discs with Pavarotti! He did it to not annoy my brothers and perhaps that they thought I was crazy! A day at the Conservatory I approached a teacher of Classical Singing and asked his opinion about my vocal possibilities. The result was that I began to study singing seriously, which I am grateful for definitely work with my voice, to her I make my living in concert and tenor (in opera and oratorio, as well as the Brahms Ensemble de Caracas), and singer-announcer on commercial jingles, as well as speaker-narrator of several programs E! Entertainment Television, History Channel, A & E, among others, and not to mention the live concerts with Franco De Vita! My voice is my life: thanks to her I progressed in my career all these years. Have learned to use it properly is invaluable and is the best investment I ever made in my life.

-on You Tube you can see your interpretation of the opera "Don Giovanni" and observed that you have a pronunciation leagues perfect Italian. How do you reach that level of proficiency?
From tiny few years I lived in Florence, Italy. I learned the correct pronunciation of Italian Fiorentino, which is fortunately the one used in the opera. During my years of studying opera, was given particular attention to the phonetics of the languages \u200b\u200bItalian, French and German. This is because a singer must handle these languages \u200b\u200bbordering on perfection. Fortunately, I have a language with ease! I am bilingual English-English because of the years I lived in New York, USA. In the Lyric Opera and in general, I believe that diction should be as seamless as possible. It is a way to respect the composer and the public to speak the language you are singing. There are singers with different levels of diction, and personally I care to employ a proper phonetics of respect for the public and myself, do not conceive it otherwise. The YouTube video is my debut in the character of "Don Ottavio" in the opera "Don Giovanni." After that, several times I've sung Don Ottavio, led once by Gustavo Dudamel. I am also the tenor of the group "Ensemble Brahms of Caracas since 2003. I have sung leading roles in operas, Madama Butterfly, Rita, L'Elisir D'amore, Così fan tutte and Don Giovanni. Opera and Singing is my passion: to them I spent long hours and years of study and as my voice answer and still there, alive, I will continue singing because it is the only way I know to express from the soul. The role of Don Giovanni that goes on YouTube became an event that will never forget: I sang on November 5, 2004. Four days later, on November 9, my Dad died after a long illness. I caught this show a recording of Don Giovanni. It was the last thing I heard Dad sing.

"We have information that you participate in a company produces many of the jingles you hear on radio and television. Tell us about that ..!
Indeed, it is. Working for years with my "triple colleague" (lawyer, musician and broadcaster) Boris Bossio. Our company is called "BBmusik (www.bbmusik.com) and we are dedicated to producing commercial jingles for radio and television. Boris is a talented colleague and solvency, and therefore consider it so once asked me fill in the Banda de Franco De Vita for some concerts in Bolivia and Paraguay (2005), since I was seven performances of the opera Rita (Donizetti) in Caracas and could not travel. Currently, among its clients BBmusik a: Skechers, Domino's Pizza, Amazon Grill, Lavansa, RapidFot and many more. For me, constantly recorded as an announcer-singer in jingles for McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Intertel, Renault, and Banco del Caribe, among many others. Incidentally, my youngest daughter, Nicole, has a beautiful voice! Makes phrases and sings in many of the jingles we produce, every time a child's voice is needed! And my oldest daughter, Carol, has made a career from his twelve years as an announcer in jingles Mattel Barbie (produced by the talented fellow musician and best friend, Juan Angel Esquivel). It was no surprise when the graduate's degree, Carol told me that it would study communication Social! (Perhaps the race that I had to study me!)

"I have also understood that you were involved in some television programs and bundles of speaker in some international cable channels ...
That's right. I am English-language broadcaster "Celebrity Profile" E! Entertainment Television, as well as "Modern Marvels" on History Channel and "Matesfera" of A & E Mundo. I participated as a professor of singing at the "Music Stars" (Venevision - 2002).

"You brought a reunion with your former classmates band, as well as Hydra or 20/20?
Definitely yes! Long ago he come running around to the idea! With the experience we have after all these years, imagine what could come! Recently I met at concerts Mannel Frank Quintero (Mannel currently bassist Frank). I remember a couple of months Mannel and I had dinner at the Margarita Island and Angel decided to contact with the intention of making music together again. And this time it will be guitar and are thinking of Pablo Hernandez, who is currently Aditus guitarist. Banda do not know if bears the name of Hydra or 20/20, I personally think we should give it a new name because the music is different, but will remain on the pop-rock for sure. No more talks with them, I started composing! So soon I'll give you news of this new group is born!

"Some future projects?
Mighty Diquez Manuel said: "People have projects ..." and it's true: we all have constant projects, the matter is crystallized. As you know, our country is in a period of tremendous changes. If these changes allow us to continue making music here, as here follow. Otherwise I think my work in music required me to bring to fruition my projects elsewhere. Among the projects that I have is that I spoke a moment ago, with Mannel, Angel and Paul. Another very important is to deepen my career as a lyric tenor. By early February 2008 I go on a trip to New York with my wife. My daughter is graduating from Carol reporter in July 2008 will be an interesting year and really different! Definitely keep me busy most of 2008!

-Gilberto thanks for having the humility to dedicate part of your time for this interview and many successes in your future projects you envision to be very good insurance.
Thanks be to you and the readers and visitors to your blog Jhonny! I also thank our mutual friend for having introduced Felix Duque. And what a congratulations on your work "eighty"! Definitely, this decade we have scored a lot and I am no exception. I learned, lived, studied, got married, I had my first child ... a lot happened in my life in the eighties!

-A Greeting for the eighties who visit this blog?
Of course! It often happens that those who work in this business of "show business", ironically we tend to be people quiet, shy and low profile. I am honored to share with you some of the scenes of what has been this long transit through the music. I hope these stories and anecdotes have proven unless they take this opportunity to heartily thank the many people who always greet and congratulate me: perhaps it is not difficult to see why I do not practice my profession as a lawyer and why I took up music 24 / 7, thanks to this I constantly more and more friends and share the joy of the hearts of many people. In the eighties (and I'm one more of you!) Feel proud to be, because there is no doubt that in the 80s was composed and created many of the best music that exists on our planet! To summarize: I will always remember that decade as "The time when we were happy, but did not know" ... Receive all a warm hug, peace and lots of music!
