One Direction

Dear editor,

I´m writing to you about the concert in the `Sports Palace´in Madrid last year with the English band One Direction.There was an audience of more than 500 hundred people,it was full of people.
The band started 5 minutes late but it doesn´t matter.When the band were going out to sing,  all the people there were shouting :ONE DIRECTION! The English band is composed of five boys :Zayn Malik, Niall Horan ,Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomilson. They played all the songs of their new album "Up all night" ,like "Moments" or  "Stole my heart".
However,I have to say that  it was very hot in there and people in the backward part of he stage could not hear very well.But apart from that, the concert was excellent.They sang really well.
At first ,they looked a bit nervous,but then they did it really well.With the song "Live while we´re young" all the audience got excited and started singing the chorus as loud as possible.
Why don´t we have more concerts of One Direction here in Spain? It would be nice because they have a lot of fans.
Yours faithfully,
Marta Caudet

A TRIP TO NEW YORK

MY EASTER HOLIDAYS

At Easter Holidays, I went to New York. It was fantastic, and I enjoyed a lot. I arrived in New York 2 weeks ago and I came back last Monday. Plane trips were the most boring because they were 8 hours and a half into a plane. When we arrived, we were fascinated. Most of the buildings were skyscrapers and they also had a lot of lights. We were located in Midtown, which is the middle of Manhattan. We were near the Empire State, Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center or Madison Square Garden, where New York Knicks play its home matches, but it was a bit far from Wall Street or Central Park. The hotel was in Broadway, known because of its theatres and musicals. I visited a lot of things, for example the Empire State, Brooklyn Bridge, or some museums like MoMA, metropolitan museum of art or American museum of national history, but my favourite place was Empire State, it was amazing. Ii has 110 floors! It´s the tallest in Manhattan, but it´s going to be superated by Freedom towers built in honour of the terrorist attack of 11-s 2001 which demolished the Twin Towers. Also, the food was a bit strange, there were a lot of McDonalds, Burguer King or Dunking Donuts. There were a lot of BBQ restaurants and Starbucks too. But I enjoyed a lot and I hope to come back.

THE BEATLES

2013 EXHIBITION AT PARQUE DE LISBOA HIGH SCHOOL

This year we want to celebrate the 50th anniversary of  The Beatles first albulm "Please please me" and for this reason we have been working on this topic the last few weeks. We have been listening to different songs, illustrating them and researching on the Beatles biographies , the society at that time "The 60´s"and issues related to it.

                                These pictures show the fantastic work students have performed.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES: GOOGLE GLASSES

Is this fiction or reality?

Imagine a computer on your glasses that knows exactly where you are (using a GPS), and exactly where you're looking.

The computer is talking to a powerful server computer through wireless Internet. If you're looking at a street, the computer sends the GPS location to the server, downloads the street name (Madison Avenue, say). Then it displays the name on the transparent glasses in front of your eyes!

"HERE COMES THE SUN"

Flashmob

Even through these situations, in which the country is in a really bad condition and there is no hope for a lot of people, music is within all of us, supporting us in the moments we need it and it will perserve through time!
Smile at the problems and look at the sun because it is coming as the Beatles said!

In this video, a band went to an employment office. There, they made a lot of people have fun and enjoy while waiting. This is the way in which music expresses its support to all the citizens.

It has been an international issue. This is an extract of a newspaper from Switzerland:

Protest hat viele Gesichter: Flashmob im Arbeitsamt Madrid

 

Jan18von Uhupardo

Ein wolkiger, kalter Morgen in Madrid Anfang Januar. Der Wartesaal im Arbeitsamt ist gesteckt voll, wie derzeit überall in Spanien. Auf den Stühlen sitzen Menschen, deren Ausbildung nicht selten besser und deren Lebenslauf nicht selten aussagefähiger sind als die vieler Politiker, die für uns alle Entscheidungen treffen. Die Stimmung ist gedrückt … und dann:

Spanien ist Protest, aber Spanien ist auch Lebenslust und der unbändige Wille, sich nicht unterkriegen zu lassen. Wir sind zwar arbeitslos, aber nicht untätig, soll diese Aktion sagen, die vom Radioprogramm Carne Cruda 2.0 organisiert wurde. Und wir sind wach, aufmerksam und nehmen nicht alles hin. Protest hat viele Gesichter. Sogar schöne und sehr emotionale.

this is the news blog in which it was posted on the internet:

this is the reccording of the band´s performance;

please could you post here any other performance of other bands or anything related with how the music expresses itself their support for the citizen or the problems the ´´art of the music´´ is suffering nowadays and the injustices that the music is suffering.
