Alceu conseguiu utilizar a guitarra com baixo elétrico e, mais tarde, com o
sintetizador eletrônico nas suas músicas.
Alceu lançou em janeiro de 2015 um livro de poesias pela Chiado Books.
A obra O Poeta da Madrugada, segundo escreveu o jornalista e escritor José Eduardo Agualusa no prefácio, tem
versos que "já trazem consigo a música, uma melodia interna, que permanece
em nós, que continua reverberando em nós, mesmo depois que nos afastamos
deles."
No ano de 2016, durante seu show no carnaval do Recife na
madrugada de 9 para 10 de fevereiro, marco esperado anualmente por
pernambucanos e turistas, convida A todos a participar do lançamento de seu
filme a ocorrer em 24 de março seguinte. O convite, feito com o figurino do
filme utilizado por ele e pela banda, viria a ser divulgado boca-a-boca por
todos os que assistiram ao show no marco zero e pela internet.
Uma mostra chamada Ocupação Alceu Valença, organizada
pelo Instituto Itaú Cultural em São Paulo
de dezembro de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020, apresenta audiovisuais com a
trajetória do artista de 73 anos, desde sua infância em São Bento do Una.
Serviu de base para compor a mostra, o longa-metragem A Luneta do Tempo, musical
com direção e participação de Alceu, e que venceu como melhor trilha musical no
Festival de Gramado em 2014. A Amostra passa
pelas influências do circo e do cinema na carreira do artista pernambucano.
Hoje eu
sonhei que ela voltava
E vinha
muito mais que linda
À meia
luz me acordava
Cheirando
a flor de tangerina
Eu lhe
amava e mergulhava
No seu
olhar de onça menina
E
docemente me afogava
Em suas
águas cristalinas
Eu lhe
amava e mergulhava
No seu
olhar de onça menina
E
docemente me afogava
Em suas
águas cristalinas
Em suas
águas
Depois
sonhei que ela voltava
E dessa
vez bem mais que linda
À meia
luz me afagava
E sua
pele era 'tão fina
Quando
acordei meu bem chegava
Seria
onça ou menina
Chegar
assim de madrugada
Cheirando
à flor de tangerina
Cheirando
à flor
Depois
sonhei que ela voltava
E dessa
vez bem mais que linda
À meia
luz me afagava
E sua
pele era tão fina
Quando

ALBUM: SEVEN AND THE RAGGED
TIGEER
LABEL: EMI RECORDS
GENRE: NEW WAVE
YEAR: 1983
Duran
Duran (/djʊˌræn djʊˈræn/) are an English new waveband
formed in Birminghamin 1978.
The band were
one of the most successful acts of the 1980s, but by the end of the decade,
membership and music style changes challenged the band before a resurgence in
the early 1990s. The group were a leading band in the MTV-driven Second
British Invasionof the US in the 1980s. They
achieved 14 singlesin the top 10
of the UK Singles Chart Mand 21
in the US Billboard Hot 100, and
have sold over 100 million records worldwide.
When the
band emerged they were generally considered part of the New Romanticscene,
along with bands such as Spandau Balletand Visage. However,
Duran Duran would soon shed this image by using fashion and marketing to build
a more refined and elegant presentation. The band have won numerous awardsthroughout
their career: two Brit Awardsincluding
the 2004 award for Outstanding Contribution to Music, two Grammy Awards, an MTV Video
Music Awardfor Lifetime
Achievement, and a Video Visionary Awardfrom the MTV Europe
Music Awards. They were also awarded a star
on the Hollywood
Walk of Fame.
The video
age catapulted Duran Duran into the mainstream with the introduction of the
24-hour music channel MTV. Many of their videos
were shot on 35 mm film, which gave a much more polished look than was standard
at the time. They also collaborated with professional film directors to take
the quality a step further, often teaming up with Australian director Russell Mulcahyfor some of their most memorable video offerings. In 1984, the band
were early innovators with video technology in their live stadium shows.
The group
was formed by keyboardist Nick Rhodesand bassist John Taylor,
with the later addition of drummer Roger Taylor,
and after numerous personnel changes, guitarist Andy Taylor(none of the Taylors are related) and lead singer Simon Le Bon. These five members featured the
most commercially successful line-up. The group have never
disbanded, but after the departures of Andy and Roger Taylor in 1986, the
line-up has changed to include former Missing
PersonsAmerican guitarist Warren Cuccurullofrom 1989 to 2001 and American drummer Sterling Campbellfrom 1989 to 1991. The reunion of the original five members in the
early 2000s created a stir among the band's fans and music media. Andy Taylor
left the band once again in mid-2006, and guitarist Dominic Brownhas since been working with the band as a session player and touring
member.
Seven and
the Ragged Tiger is the third studio album by English new waveband Duran Duran. It was
released on 21 November 1983 by EMI. It was
the band's first and only number-one album on the UK Albums Chart, and
would prove to be the last studio album for the band's most famous line-up
until 2004's Astronaut.
Vocalist Simon Le Bonsaid the
album "is an adventure story about a little commando team. 'The Seven' is for us—the five
band members and the two managers—and 'the Ragged Tiger' is success. Seven
people running after success. It's ambition. That's what it's about."
Shake up the Picture
The lizard mixture
With your dance on the eventide
You got me coming up with answers
All of which I deny
I said it again
Could I please rephrase it?
Maybe I
can catch a ride
I couldn't really put it much plainer
But I'll wait till you decide
Send me your warning siren
As if I could ever hide
Last time la luna
I light
my torch
And wave it for the new moon on Monday
And a fire dance
Through the night
I stayed the cold day
With a lonely satellite
Breaking
away
With the beast of both worlds
A smile that you can't disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind
Send me from these reminders
As if I'd forget tonight
This time la luna.

GENESIS
SONGWRITERS: MIKE RUTHERFORD; PHIL COLLINS & TONY BANKS
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: GENESIS
LABEL: CHARISMA RECORDS
GENRE: POP ROCK
YEAR: 1983
Genesis are
an English rockband formed at Charterhouse School,
Godalming, Surrey, in 1967. The most
commercially successful and longest-lasting line-up consists of keyboardist Tony Banks,
bassist/guitarist Mike Rutherfordand drummer/singer Phil Collins.
Other former members were original lead singer Peter Gabriel, and
guitarists Anthony Phillipsand Steve Hackett. The
band moved from folk musicto progressive rockin the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade. They have sold 21.5 million
copies of their albums in the United States, with worldwide sales of between
100 million and 150 million.
Formed by
five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel, and Phillips,
Genesis were named by former pupil Jonathan King,
who arranged for them to record several unsuccessful singles and their debut
album From Genesis
to Revelationin 1968. After splitting with King,
the group began to tour professionally, signed with Charisma Recordsand recorded Trespass(1970) in the progressive rock style. Following the departure of
Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded Nursery Cryme(1971). Their live shows also began to be centred on Gabriel's theatrical
costumes and performances. They were first successful in
mainland Europe, before entering the UK charts with Foxtrot(1972). In
1973, they released Selling
England by the Pound(1973), which featured
their first UK top 30 single "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)".
The concept albumThe Lamb Lies
Down on Broadwayfollowed in 1974, and was
promoted with a transatlantic tour featuring an elaborate stage show. Following
the Lamb tour, Gabriel left Genesis in August 1975 to begin a solo career.
After an unsuccessful search for a replacement, Collins
took over as lead singer, while Genesis gained popularity in the UK and the US.
Following A Trick of
the Tailand Wind & Wuthering(both 1976), Hackett left, reducing the band to Banks, Rutherford,
and Collins. Genesis' next album... And Then
There Were Three...produced their first UK top
ten and US top 30 single in 1978 with "Follow You
Follow Me", and they continued to gain commercial
success with Duke(1980), Abacab(1981), and Genesis(1983). They reached a peak of popularity with Invisible Touch(1986), which featured five US top five singles, and its title trackreached number one there. After the tour for We Can't Dance(1991), Collins left Genesis in 1996 to focus on his solo career.
Banks and Rutherford recruited Ray Wilsonfor Calling All
Stations(1997), but a lack of success in the
US led to a group hiatus. Banks, Rutherford and Collins reunited for the Turn It On
Again Tour in 2007. Although various
members of Genesis participated in interviews for the 2014 BBC documentar Genesis:
Together and Apart, there was no further band
activity for thirteen years, apart from various back catalogue reissues. In
2020, Collins, Banks and Rutherford announced they would reform for another tour.
Their discographyincludes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the
UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations,
including a Grammy Awardfor Best Concept Music Videowith "Land of Confusion",
and inspired a number of tribute bandsrecreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band's career.
In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame.
Genesis is
the twelfth studio album by the English rock band Genesis,
released on 3 October 1983 by Charismaand Virgin Records. Following
the band's tour in support of their 1982 live álbum Three Sides Live, Genesis
took an eight-month break before they regrouped in the spring of 1983 to record
a new studio album, their first since Abacab(1981). It marks their first written, recorded, and mixed in its
entirety at their own recording facility named The Farm.
Its title derives
from the fact that the album was written collectively. According
to AllMusic, the
album established that Genesis were "now primarily a pop band",
although "art rockfunctions
as coloring".
Genesis was
a commercial success upon its release, becoming the band's third straight album
to reach No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart. It also reached Nº. 9 on the US Billboard 200, where it
sold over 4 million copies. Five singles were released between 1983 and 1984,
with "Mama"
being the band's highest-charting single in the UK at Nº. 4.Genesis was remastered in 2007
with new stereo and 5.1 surround soundmixes as part of the Genesis 1983–1998box set.
Creeping
up the blind side, shinning up the wall
Stealing through the dark of night
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
Checking to the left and the right
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
Something doesn't feel quite right
Help me
someone, let me out of here
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
Welcome to the home by the sea
Coming
out the woodwork, through the open door
Pushing from above and below
Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men
Round and down and sideways they go
Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
Then as one they sigh and they moan
Help us
someone, let us out of here
Living here so long undisturbed
Dreaming of the time we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea
Sit
down, sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Images
of sorrow, pictures of delight
Things that go to make up a life
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
Waiting for the morning light
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
Things that go to make up a life
Help us
someone, let us out of here
Living here so long undisturbed
Dreaming of the time we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea
Sit
down, sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
Sit
down, sit down
Cause you won't get away
No with us you will stay
For the rest of your days, so sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you.
