Luísa Sobral at Musikens Hus....

Luísa and Mário Delgado, Musikens Hus, Mars, 17

The ability to become the seventh string of the guitar is not for everyone, and the fusion between voice and music becomes delightful.

Best in show: "Janie"

Lady Bird....

Saoirse Ronan and Laurie Metcalf

College, sex, family, swinging doors and opportunities....and the "wrong side of the tracks". The "American" theme is now nearly exhausted - but not really in Greta Gerwig`s film. There is an extra touch of sensitivity throughout the story, a truly delicate feminine touch. And of course....Saoirse Ronan gets to the core of the American soul, and she does it with talent.

With a new record and on the road again. "Desamparo" is a brilliant song....and she can really sing from the heart.

The portuguese destructive methodology for classified areas....


The gardens of Palacete Mendonça in Lisbon, April 2017


..and today.

The gardens are classified (protected by law), yet the trees were mutilated by the converging incompetence of authorities, owners, builders, etc. Unfortunately, not an isolated example, but more or less the "modus operandi" that slowly (but firmly) is destroying the character and authenticity of the city of Lisbon.

Another goodbye among Lisbon's historic shops....


The bookshop Aillaud & Lellos at Rua do Carmo, 82, opened its doors in 1931 and closed definitely in December 2017. New attractions for tourists are to be expected.

A Swedish singer hardly remembered in his native country. This pearl was recorded in May 1978 and became a rare blend of Portuguese traditional music, fado, and Swedish "vistradition".
