  • Música, Cine E Televisión
    35 Música, cine e televisión Os 40 Principais Voando con Airplanes ó máis alto Por Alma Ramos 1. “Airplanes” (BOB & Hailey Williams) – 53 p. El, cantante de rap que comezou tocando a trompe- ta e demostrando dende moi novo o seu virtuosismo musical; ela, que comezou demostrando a súa potente voz nunha igrexa evanxélica de Mississippi. Ambos uniron os seus talentos musicais para crear o tema “Airplanes”, que se inclúe no disco The adventures of Bobby Ray , editado no ano 2010. Airplanes , como o propio nome indica, fálanos de avións, de avións na noite, de avións comparados con estrelas fugaces. Cu- riosamente, o tema chega ó máis alto da nosa lista dos 40 Principais case sen comelo nin bebelo, posto que é un tema novo que nunca antes entrara na nosa lista. Este triunfo non fai senón augurar novos éxitos destes dous cantantes, que poñerán novos temas nas listas de éxitos tanto xuntos como separados. 2. “Alejandro” (Lady Gaga) – 50 puntos. Lady Gaga é unha cantante que non necesita presentación. O tremen- do éxito obtido nestes últimos anos é consecuencia, nunha boa medida, do seu estilo extravagante. Lady Gaga é natural de Nova Iork, cidade es- tadounidense na que naceu no ano 1986, sendo o seu auténtico nome Stefani Juanne Angelina Germanotta. Non só se dedica a cantar, senón que tamén produce, compón, baila, toca o piano e desfila como modelo; son, por tanto, moitas as facetas nas que destaca. O vídeo desta can- ción, Alejandro , causou unha gran polémica pola natureza blasfema dal- gunhas das súas imaxes. Dende logo, Lady Gaga poderá pecar doutras cousas, pero non de pasar inadvertida.

  • Biography Mark Ronson Is an Internationally Renowned DJ and Five-Time-Grammy-Award-Winning and Golden Globe-Winning Artist and P
    Biography Mark Ronson is an internationally renowned DJ and five-time-Grammy-Award-winning and Golden Globe-winning artist and producer. Ronson spent the first eight years of his life growing up in London, England. Having played guitar and drums from an early age, it wasn't until moving to New York City following his parents’ divorce, that he discovered DJ culture. At age 16, and already a fan of artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, Ronson began listening to mixtapes released by various hip hop DJs. Inspired, Ronson confiscated his step-father's vinyl collection and tried his hand at mixing. It was the first step in a career highlighted by work on a multi Grammy-winning album by Amy Winehouse, as well as his own Grammy-winning, global smash hit with Bruno Mars, "Uptown Funk." In the late 1990s into the early 2000s, the New York club scene was percolating with booming hip-hop and glitzy R&B. Ronson quickly earned himself a reputation through stints on the decks in downtown clubs before becoming the DJ of choice for many noteworthy parties. Hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs hired Ronson to DJ his fabled 29th birthday bash. These and other high-profile gigs boosted Ronson's profile and connected him with other artists, many of whom were interested in collaborating. His first production gig came from British soul singer Nikka Costa and he found that his experience of working a club crowd informed his production skills. Fusing his eclectic turntable skills with his knowledge of musical instruments and songwriting, Ronson soon embarked on his first solo record.
