        Mariana Aydar(São Paulo, 8 de maio de 1980) é uma cantora brasileira, vencedora do prêmio Grammy Latino.
      A trajetória musical de Mariana Aydar teve início em 2000, aos 20 anos, quando começou a cantar profissionalmente como backing vocal de Miltinho Edilberto, cujo repertório era basicamente de forró. Logo depois, comandou sua primeira banda, Caruá, também de forró, durante três anos. Foi backing vocal no trio elétrico de Daniela Mercury, no carnaval de 2004. Em paralelo, integrava a banda do compositor paulistano Dante Ozzetti.
    Em 2004, após anos de estudo no Brasil e na Berklee School of Music, em Boston, morou em Paris por um ano. Lá conheceu Seu Jorge, que a convidou para abrir os shows na turnê europeia.
       De volta ao Brasil em 2005, passou a investir no disco de estreia, Kavita 1, lançado em setembro de 2006.
       Mariana, que estudou violoncelo, violão e canto, já esteve no palco com Seu Jorge, Elba Ramalho, Dominguinhos, Arnaldo Antunes, Toni Garrido, Samuel Rosa, Daniela Mercury, Céu, João Donato, Leci Brandão, Ivan Lins, Vanessa da Mata, Emílio Santiago, entre outros.
     Mariana Aydar é filha de Mario Manga, integrante do grupo Premê, e de Bia Aydar, ex-produtora de diversos artistas brasileiros, entre os quais Lulu Santos e Luiz Gonzaga. Nesse ambiente ficava atrás dos palcos, dormia nos camarins e ia junto com os cantores para o estúdio, aprendendo muita coisa só observando.
    Chega ao mundo o disco completo “Veia Nordestina", de Mariana Aydar. Com 12 faixas que misturam ritmos como xote, pagodão, arrocha, frevo, galope, kuduro e rastapé, este é o quinto álbum de estúdio da cantora e o primeiro dedicado integralmente à cultura nordestina.
     O disco apresenta músicas que mostram a força e liberdade de escolha das mulheres, quebrando pensamentos machistas e patriarcais e elevando o empoderamento feminino como um dos temas principais. Em "Triste, Louca ou Má", regravação da banda Francisco, El Hombre, Mariana escolheu a amiga e grande inspiração ativista, Maria Gadú, para dividir os vocais e em "Condução", Mariana canta sobre a mulher que conduz na dança da vida.
     "Veia Nordestina" termina com um agradecimento ao mestre e amigo Dominguinhos com a emocionante "Para Dominguinhos", onde Mariana colocou em música tudo aquilo que queria dizer para ele mas não conseguiu em vida. Um sertão inundado de saudade e gratidão. A elegante sanfona de Mestrinho dá o tom de despedida do disco.
    “Quero traduzir o meu forró, à minha maneira de ver o gênero reinventando, instigando, trazendo elementos contemporâneos, guitarras psicodélicas e a eletricidade da MPC sem perder a alma pé de serra do clássico power trio forrozeiro: zabumba, triângulo e sanfona”, explica Mariana.
Sei que aí dentro ainda mora um pedacinho de mim
Um grande amor não se acaba assim
Feito espumas ao vento
 
Não é coisa de momento, raiva passageira
Mania que dá e passa, feito brincadeira
O amor deixa marcas
Que não dá pra apagar
 
Sei que errei, tô aqui pra te pedir perdão
Cabeça doida, coração na mão
Desejo pegando fogo
 
Sem saber direito a hora nem o que fazer
Não encontro uma palavra só pra te dizer
Mas se eu fosse você
Eu voltava pra mim de novo
 
E de uma coisa fique certa, amor
A porta vai tá sempre aberta
O meu olhar vai dar uma festa
Na hora que você chegar
 
E de uma coisa fique certa, amor
A porta vai tá sempre aberta
O meu olhar vai dar uma festa, amor
Na hora que você chegar
Na hora que você chegar
 
Sei que errei, tô aqui pra te pedir perdão
Cabeça doida, coração na mão
Desejo pegando fogo
 
E sem saber direito a hora nem o que fazer
Não encontro uma palavra só pra te dizer
Mas se eu fosse você
Eu voltava pra mim de novo
 
E de uma coisa fique certa, amor
A porta vai tá sempre aberta
O meu olhar vai dar uma festa
Na hora que você chegar
 
E de uma coisa fique certa, amor
A porta vai tá sempre aberta
O meu olhar vai dar uma festa
Na hora que você chegar
 
Na hora que você chegar
Na hora que você chegar
Na hora que você chegar.

GÉNERO: BOLERO

    El Maestro Julio Roberto Sandoval Orizábal conocido en el ambiente artístico como Roberto Rey es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los más destacados cantantes guatemaltecos de todos los tiempos. Con su potente y hermosa voz de tenor, ha dominado diversos estilos, especialmente el bolero y las baladas románticas.
       Nació en 1959 en Antigua Guatemala. Aunque inició estudios en medicina, finalmente se dedicó a su gran talento musical y ya con más de 40 años de trayectoria, Roberto Rey se consolida como uno de los Maestros que forjó los estándares de excelencia en el entretenimiento musical guatemalteco.
      “A los 16 años (el 9 de mayo de 1974) me enrolé en un trío romántico que se llamaba Los Conquistadores. Este tiempo fue importante porque ensayaba canciones y guardaba en mi memoria las letras de esas melodías”, señala.
      En 1976 realiza sus primeras incursiones en clubes nocturnos en Guatemala, donde hubo espacios culturales importantes que vieron pasar grandes luminarias en esos años.
       En julio de 1978 inicia su participación en la Hora del Aficionado del programa televisivo Campiña que era conducido por Jorge Méndez en canal 11 y obtuvo el primer lugar en la rama masculina, en febrero de 1979. “Quien ganaba el concurso tenía la atención de toda Guatemala”, indica.
        La promoción que le otorgaba sus apariciones en “campiña” era el apoyo que necesitaba para dejar atrás la carrera de Medicina que había iniciado y sus padres deseaban que culminara.
         En julio de 1979, llega al night club Barroco, en el edificio El Patio, a cubrir por 15 días a Daniel Salazar, y trabaja durante 10 años en el lugar, e incluso, llega a ser dueño del sitio. “En ese tiempo no había ley seca, y las noches eran alegrísimas”, recuerda.
   Representó a Guatemala en el Festival Internacional Oti, de la Canción, en Miami, en 1989, con el tema Traigo la voz, tema de Orlando Coronado.
      En su show, en el bar El Refugio de Hotel El Conquistador (en donde se ha presentado en los recientes 7 años), la audiencia escucha todo tipo de música y ríe con algunos de sus chistes, la variedad y la complacencia lo han mantenido vigente, según indica.
Que el unicornio galope
Que el saltamontes no salte
Que el viejo duende conjure
Que el ermitaño me busque
 
Que la luciérnaga alumbre
Que la sirena me escuche
Porque
 
Traigo la voz
De aquel mártir que el pueblo olvido
Traigo la voz
De aquella madre que nunca pario
 
Traigo la voz
De aquel viejo que nadie escucho
Traigo la voz
Del poeta que nunca borro
 
Traigo la voz
Del amante que todo lo dio
Traigo la voz
De aquel niño que nunca nació
 
Traigo la voz
Del enfermo que nadie atendió
Traigo la voz
Del casi que, que se revelo
 
Traigo la voz
Con el eco y el soplo de dios
Traigo la voz
De los hombres nadie callo
 
Traigo la voz
Para unirlas a tu corazón
Une tu voz y forjemos
Un mundo mejor
 
Traigo la voz
Del mendigo que nadie ayudo
Traigo la voz
De mi pueblo de barro y de sol
 
Traigo la voz
De aquel santo que solo murió
Traigo la voz
Del soldado que nunca volvió
 
Traigo la voz
Con el eco y el soplo de dios
Traigo la voz
De los hombres nadie callo
 
Traigo la voz
Para unirlas a tu corazón
Une tu voz y forjemos
Un mundo mejor
Traigo la voz...

SCORPIONS
SONGWRITERS: MEINE KLAUS & SCHENKER RUDOLF
COUNTRY: GERMANY
ALBUM: LOVEDRIVE
LABEL: BREEZE MUSIC
GENRE: HEAVY METAL
YEAR: 1979
 
        Scorpions are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock, heavy metal and glam metal to soft rock. The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass), and Herman Rarebell(drums). The band's only continuous member has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.
        During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth (who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the lineup, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine managed to take control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive(1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, with recording a developed later in several of their albums. Michael Schenker also played on the Lovedrive album. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism (1980), Blackout(1982), Love at First Sting(1984), the live recording World Wide Live(1985), Savage Amusement(1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads(1989), and Crazy World(1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released thirteen consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached Nº 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
       Lovedrive is the sixth studio album by German band Scorpions, released in 1979. Considered by some critics to be the pinnacle of their career, Lovedrive was a major evolution of the band's sound, exhibiting their "classic style" that would be later developed over their next few albums. Lovedrive cemented the "Scorpions formula" of hard rock songs combined with melodic ballads.
    Lovedrive was the band’s first album to be released by Harvest Records in Europe and Mercury Records in the United States and Canada following the band's departure from RCA. It proved to be a major commercial breakthrough, reaching Nº 55 on the Billboard Top 200, which none of their previous five albums had dented at all. The RIAA certified the record as Gold on 28 May 1986, and the album also proved a breakthrough in the United Kingdom where it was the first Scorpions album to chart and peaked at Nº 36.
       Lovedrive ranked Nº 25 on IGN's 2007 list of the Top 25 metal albums.
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Exchange the cold days for the sun
Good times and fun
 
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
 
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
Exchange your troubles for some love
Wherever you are
 
Let me take you far away
You'd like a holiday
 
Longing for the sun you will come
To the island without name
Longing for the sun be welcome
On the island many miles away from home
Be welcome on the island without name
Longing for the sun you will come
 
To the island many miles away from home
Away from home.

         Foster the People is an American indie pop band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 2009. Its members are singer Mark Foster, guitarist Sean Cimino, and keyboardist Isom Innis.
         Foster founded the band in 2009 after spending several years in Los Angeles as a struggling musician and working as a commercial jingle writer. After Foster's song "Pumped Up Kicks" became a viral success in 2010, the group received a record deal from Startime International and gained a fanbase through small club shows and appearances at music festivals. After releasing their debut album Torches in May 2011, "Pumped Up Kicks" became a crossover hit on commercial radio in mid-2011 and eventually reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The record also featured the singles "Helena Beat" and "Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)". The group received three Grammy Award nominations for Torches and "Pumped Up Kicks".
     After touring for two years in support of Torches, Foster the People released their second album, Supermodel, in March 2014. It was preceded by the lead single "Coming of Age". In July 2017, the band released their third studio album, Sacred Hearts Club, with the addition of Isom Innis and Sean Cimino, both former touring members, to the official lineup. From this album, their song "Sit Next to Me" peaked at number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified double platinum by the RIAA.
         Torches is the debut studio album by American band Foster the People, released on May 23, 2011, by Startime International and Columbia Records. In 2010, the group parlayed the popularity of frontman Mark Foster's song "Pumped Up Kicks" into a record deal with Startime International, and wrote the album to back the song's popularity. "Pumped Up Kicks" proved to be a sleeper hit; after receiving significant airplay on modern rock stations, the song crossed-over onto contemporary hit radio and became one of 2011's most popular songs. Four additional singles were released from the album: "Helena Beat", "Call It What You Want", "Don't Stop (Color on the Walls)", and "Houdini", which had previously been released as a promotional single in the United Kingdom prior to the album's release.
       Torches received generally favorable reviews from critics and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. The record peaked at number eight on the Billboard 200 in the US and number one on the ARIA Albums Chart in Australia. It has been certified platinum in Australia and the US, the Philippines, and Canada. 
Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room, but won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid, yeah
 
He found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet, and with a box of fun things
I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah, he's coming for you
 
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
 
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
 
Daddy works a long day
He'd be coming home late, yeah, he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen, and it's packed in ice
 
I've waited for a long time
Yeah, the sleight of my hand is now a quick pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
Then say, "Your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah"
 
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
 
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
 
Run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run, run, run, run
R-r-r-run
Run, run
Run, run, run
 
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
 
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet
 
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run faster than my bullet.
