#PALOP

[tortiefrancis]

I understand it's kind of a (true) meme that Brazilians don't understand European Portuguese because its so monotone, but what about Portuguese spoken by the PALOP, considering they are more similar to eachother than PT-BR, the main difference being the pronunciation? (Also I learned that in the island of Azores they have a particular way of speaking that is closer to Brazilian Portuguese due to emmigration. Do you know if this is true?)

Had to look up what PALOP was and tbh, I don't have much contact with other portuguese speakers outside of Brazil, specially Africans, but from what I've seen, portuguese spoken in African countries is actually... a lot different from Brazilian Portuguese, and not just in pronunciation (tho the pronunciation is very different and the different accents both us and them have don't make that any easier). All of the variations of portuguese have had different influences over the years leading them to where they are, and the influences here in Brazil are much different then those in PALOP

Eurovision 2004 - Number 42 - Ramón - "Para Llenarme De Ti"

Spain's entry to the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest was again sung by someone who hadn't actually won Operación Triunfo. Ramón del Castillo Palop was the runner up in the main competition. That was enough to comfortably qualify him for the Eurovision Gala at which he presented three songs. One of these was by someone who is now one of the most famous and in demand Latino songwriters in the world - Kike Santander.

Para Llenarme De Ti (To Get Filled with You) kicks off with a Spanish guitar strumming an insistent bolero rhythm before Ramón launches into a tale of heartache and passion of such intensity I'm fairly sure that someone's heart actually exploded. The fire and burning desire is at least intense enough for Ramón to lose his jacket. He sells this with a mixture of a cheeky smile and smouldering eyebrow. Ay caramba! The entire audience is going needed to fan itself vigorously to regain its composure at the end of this.

In the Eurovision Gala final the heat generated by Ramón was sufficient to overcome the winner of the main competition garnering almost 40% of the televote. At Eurovision he finished in tenth place - a respectable position and a result that Spain wasn't going to equal for another eight years.

Sadly for Ramón at least, this didn't translate into a musical career. It started well with this song going to number one in the Spanish charts as well as the accompanying album also reaching the top ten. But there were no tours. The production company Ramón was signed to did not book him. His second album two years later flopped and he eventually threw in the towel in 2010 becoming instead a camera operator in Norway.

Three years of success at Eurovision for Spain but the returns for the artists were diminishing year on year. It's not a good sign.

One person who did have huge and continuing success was Kike Santander. He's now written over 700 songs for a huge number of very big names in Latino music including over 25 top ten hits. This is the only song he's ever written for Eurovision or a national final. Not a bad return.

“ Elena Asins (Madrid, 2 March 1940 – Azpirotz, Navarra, 14 December 2015) was a prominent visual artist, writer, lecturer and critic. Her plastic language was based on computer systematic calculation. Asins pioneered the convergence between theoretical computer science and the minimal and geometrical tendencies of the 1960s. She belongs to the first generation of artists using computers to generate art “( Elena Asins - Wikipedia )

In conversation with art historian Joan Robledo-Palop, the artist explains the foundation of her aesthetic:

“I work on white paper with black lines or on black paper with white lines; these have been my first works. It was a work where I was searching for myself, but it was so long ago that I almost cannot recall. I started working with abstraction when I was 23 years old. Additionally, what interests me is the essence of the structure, to have in my hand the base of all possible construction. Naturally, colors do not give you this kind of understanding; that is something that is provided by a structure, which let's say is a way of organizing the world. The organization of elements that produce a world; it produces an aesthetic. It is a play in a Wittgensteinian sense that reveals the truth or the logic of things. “[2]

thoughts on portugal's eurovision song this year?

There were a lot of people campaigning for the winner so it was very much fair even if it wasn't really my choice.

There were a lot of great songs this year — despite what some Portuguese people on here say (some people on here love to complain about every single song like it is the end of the world).

Opinions on the winner specifically:

Good: Good dance song, well interpreted, it's in Portuguese

Cons: Not really a representation of our culture neither musically nor lyrically, lyrics don't say anything meaningful, I don't think it stands out that much

To me it's an ok choice. I prefer it to an English song or Nasci Maria (that song repeated so much...)

My favourite song didn't make it to the final and in even of the final Ai Coração wasn't one of my favourites. But I'll admit I think my favourite for the finals wasn't a very good Eurovision entry. I really liked O Povo from the finals but it's a song that doesn't translate well to outside audiences. Everyone will always say "It's another ballad!" As if when choosing a song you're not choosing if a song is good or not not, not if it's slow or fast, and they'd miss the context of it because it's in Portuguese and even the translation might not be the most straight forward thing because of cultural context. It's a song about people from what we PALOPs (Países Africanos de Língua Oficial Portuguesa aka African Countries with Portuguese as an Official Language) that have emigrated from their country to Portugal because they want to have a better life + suffering one feels with that but also the sufferiment that people there still feel on the daily and how one must try to find love and happiness in those difficult times. Because admitting "what I want I can't get on my own country" can be something rather difficult and painful. The music style of that song is simple but it clearly shows where the singer is from (Angola) and the interpretation is so so good and definitely the best interpretation in the whole competition (it's a song contest not a singing contest though so this doesn't automatically mean it's the best... But to me it was pretty good.) I also think it's a better representation of our culture because we have a lot of people emigrating here from those countries and they very much are part of what we consider a Portuguese experience. As my dad likes to say "We need to start sending these folks too. They're portuguese too."

The winner song: (flashing tw)

Nerón: la imagen deformada, de Pilar Fernández Uriel y Luis Palop

Cualquier interesado en la antigua Roma que haya leído algo más que las revistas del National Geographic sabe a estas alturas que Nerón no fue el monstruo por el que solía tenerse. Es cierto que fue un megalómano cruel que no tuvo ningún reparo en deshacerse de cuanta gente se le pusiera en el camino, pero eso no lo diferenciaba (o al menos no tanto) de muchos otros emperadores que no dejaron tanta mala fama. Si quedó con esa imagen deformada a la que alude el título fue sobre todo por haber sido muerto (se suicidó, pero otra cosa no le esperaba) y por ser el último representante de una dinastía que se terminaba. En esta sucinta biografía se repasan los fracasos y los fallos, pero también los logros y los aciertos de aquel al que solo Calígula le disputa el título de ser el emperador más sangriento y depravado de Roma. Juan Eslava Galán, de quien ya comenté dos libros, escribió también una biografía; tal vez sea interesante leerla y compararla con esta.

Parte de la Domus Aurea (el inmenso complejo palaciego construido por Nerón) aún se conserva. Vale la pena verlo, pues es verdaderamente impresionante.
