Nouvelle Vague in Portugal

♥ After they had recorded the last concert in Portugal into Aula Magna (on Dec. 7th, 2007), which they want to include on a new album, once more, the French Nouvelle Vague came back to Lisbon (Nov. 7th), to promote the 3rd album in another Concert, but this time in Campo Pequeno and Oporto into Sá da Bandeira Theater's (Nov. 8th).
If you want to buy this new album you must wait until March 2009, when it will be sold.

In this concert, the group also had the opportunity to introduce to their fans, two new vocalists, Nadeah e Jody Stenberg (Ex-Morcheeba).

It should be noted that every Nouvelle Vague show is unique, and with also a lot of (good)surprises.
I’ll be waiting for the new record.

Colbie Caillat no Coliseu

♥ Ontem, Domingo, Portugal recebeu pela primeira vez a cantora Sul Californiana, Colbie Caillat, que se deslocou ao Coliseu de Lisboa para interpretar os temas o seu álbum “Coco”, de entre os quais se destacam os famosíssimos temas “Bubbly” e “Oxygen”.

Ao que tudo indica, este concerto também organizado pela Optimus, terá sido um êxito, deixando este espaço praticamente lotado.

Infelizmente e com grande pena minha, não pude estar presente, já que por esta altura andava por terras da Galiza. (fotos no sítio do costume).

Bryan Adams in Portugal

♥ Today, Bryan Adams was, once again, in Portugal. Portugal is the country that Bryan’s consider as the “Jewel of Europe”, and the first one that he chose to start his New Album Tour.
This promotional tour of his 11th album, (which is also called 11 and has 11 songs), will have a duration of only 11 days, while Bryan will give 11 free concerts in 11 different cities. Tomorrow he will be in Barcelona.

Bryan chose Portugal for his first concert, because he has a great relationship with the country and a lot of fans too.
In one of his interviews, he said: “I do not still know why I didn’t live in this country”. Eheheh… He loves Portugal… we all know that!!! And we all will love if he lives here…

His relations with Portugal started when he was teenager. He lived here with his parents in the late 60’s. That’s why he has the song “Summer of 69”. This song is dedicated to the time he spent here.
It’s quite funny to hear Bryan's speaking Portuguese words. Although he does not speak too much, he can understand a bit…
Thanks Bryan for choosing Portugal…

And just for curiosity… Bryan took a Portuguese fly company, London to Lisbon, and during his travel he was invited by the pilot to see Lisbon from the pilot’s cabin.
How lucky he was… Lisbon is beautiful viewed from the sky.
