  • Blues Brothers Tribute Band
    Blues Brothers Tribute Band Oggetto: Presentazione Blenda Blues Band Nell’ambito delle manifestazioni organizzate dal Comune di Sanremo per la serata di Capodanno, spicca l’esibizione, prevista in Piazza San Siro, di una delle più amate tribute band della Liguria, la Blenda Blues Band, con uno spettacolo adrenalinico “The Blues Brothers Show….We are back”. La Blenda Blues Band è composta di dodici elementi e propone uno show di quasi tre ore, basato sulle musiche del famoso film di John Landis “The Blues Brothers”, con uno spettacolo non solo musicale, ma anche scenico. Grazie alle coreografie della sezione fiati e ad un rapporto immediato col pubblico, infatti, il gruppo riesce ad instaurare un incredibile feeling tra palco e platea. Un repertorio esplosivo, comprendente i grandi classici del soul e rhythm and blues, che i celeberrimi Fratelli Blues hanno riportato agli antichi fasti nell’immortale film del 1981, al quale sarà impossibile resistere e restare fermi. L'attività e l'esperienza live della Blenda Blues Band, che ha all'attivo più' di quattrocento concerti, culmina con la partecipazione a manifestazioni di livello nazionale: “Emergenza Rock” a Firenze, “Bordighera Jazz & Blues”, affiancati a stars quali Dirotta su Cuba, Paolo Belli, Trilok Gurtu e “La festa della musica” a Genova sullo stesso palco di Ligabue ed Eros Ramazzotti. Alla storia sono passati, inoltre, due concerti con l'attore-regista Francesco Nuti che non riuscendo a starsene in poltrona a godersi lo spettacolo, ne è divenuto mattatore, affiatatissimo con il resto della band. Il 2011, dopo un breve periodo d’inattività, segna il ritorno, a furor di popolo, con uno spettacolo dal titolo "We are back" della big band più amata della Riviera Ligure, con una serie di strepitosi concerti che li ha portati ad esibirsi anche a Montecarlo, durante i festeggiamenti per il matrimonio del Principe Alberto.

  • Vai Pra Disney Roteiro Universal Studios
    Vai Pra Disney Roteiro Universal Studios www.vaipradisney.com Baixe nosso app VPD de Bolso e tenha todos os roteiros no seu celular! DICAS GERAIS SOBRE O UNIVERSAL STUDIOS - Quantidade de dias Muita gente pergunta: dá pra fazer os dois parques da Universal no mesmo dia? Sim, mas com ​ ​ restrições. Como são parques repletos de atrações legais, nossa sugestão é que tente separar 1 dia para cada parque. De qualquer forma, a recomendação geral é: ● 1 parque por dia: recomendado para todos que pretendem curtir muito cada parque. É o ideal ​ considerando a quantidade de atrações interessantes que a Universal traz atualmente. ● 2 parques em um dia com Universal Express Pass: recomendado pra quem quer curtir tudo, ​ mas tem pouco tempo de viagem e não vai poder ir a um parque por dia. Com o Express Pass, você pode furar a fila nas duas principais atrações do Harry Potter, e também consegue cortar fila em outros do parque. Assim você economiza bastante tempo nas do Harry Potter, e ainda consegue completar o resto das atrações bem mais rapidamente. ● 2 parques em um dia sem Universal Express Pass: recomendado somente para quem vai em ​ baixa temporada, tem pouco tempo e quer somente curtir as atrações “imperdíveis” dos nossos roteiros. É preciso focar no principal e fazer escolhas do que você está disposto a abrir mão em cada parque nesse caso. Independente da quantidade de dias, para entrar no Expresso de Hogwarts seu ingresso precisa ser ​ ​ park to park. Sempre vale lembrar que a Universal tem um ingresso promocional de 14 dias vendido só na América ​ ​ Latina (ou seja, não é encontrado na bilheteria do parque) que vale muito a pena para quem vai passar mais tempo em Orlando.
