Gulf War
The Gulf War was a 1990–1991 armed campaign waged by a 35-country military coalition in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Spearheaded by the United States, the coalition's efforts against Iraq were carried out in two key phases: Operation Desert Shield, which marked the military buildup from August 1990 to January 1991; and Operation Desert Storm, which began with the aerial bombing campaign against Iraq on 17 January 1991 and came to a close with the American-led Liberation of Kuwait on 28 February 1991. On 2 August 1990, Iraq invaded the neighbouring State of Kuwait and had fully occupied the country within two days. Initially, Iraq ran the occupied territory under a puppet government known as the "Republic of Kuwait" before proceeding with an outright annexation in which Kuwaiti sovereign territory was split, with the "Saddamiyat al-Mitla' District" being carved out of the country's northern portion and the "Kuwait Governorate" covering the rest.

Monte Castelo (song)
"Monte Castelo" is a song by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana, released on '' As Quatro Estações'' album. Written by vocalist and acoustic guitarist Renato Russo, the song brings verses by Portuguese poet Luís de Camões and sections of the Bible. Writing The first versions of the song was based on the acoustic guitar and a keyboard synthesizing an accordion, over which Russo tried to sing. He struggled to find a melody line and ended up recording many channels with his voice, making the music base and the lyrics so chaotic. The text became so scary that made guitarist Dado Villa-Lobos and his wife Fernanda fled from the studio after they read the written words. The mixing was also hard, since Russo would never be satisfied with producer Mayrton Bahia's work. The situation reached a point to Russo turned off the sound and Bahia threatened to finish the album without him. Russo didn't say a word and then he said he liked the final result. Villa-Lobos, on the other turn, cr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Faroeste Caboclo
"Faroeste Caboclo" (English: '' Caboclo Western'') is a song composed by Renato Russo and recorded by Brazilian rock band Legião Urbana. Written in 1979, the song was released in 1987 in the album ''Que País É Este''. The song is a lengthy ballad, in the vein of Bob Dylan, that tells the story of João de Santo Cristo, a poor man from the Brazilian Northeast who moves to Brasília in search of a better life, gets involved in drug trafficking, briefly abandons the life of crime for the love of a woman and is finally murdered by a rival. Despite its unusual characteristics for a folk song (168 different lines, no chorus and 9 minutes of playing time), "Faroeste Caboclo" was a smash hit. It is widely regarded as a Brazilian rock classic. A film adaptation was released in 2013. Plot The song starts with the introduction of João do Santo Cristo (meaning "Holy Christ" in Portuguese) and his twisted childhood in the countryside of Bahia. His father was murdered by a policema ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Encore
An encore is an additional performance given by performers after the planned show has ended, usually in response to extended applause from the audience.Lalange Cochrane, in ''Oxford Companion to Music'', Alison Latham, ed., Oxford University Press, 2002,2003 Multiple encores are not uncommon, and they initially originated spontaneously, when audiences continued to applaud and demand additional performance from the artists after they had left the stage. However, in modern times they are rarely spontaneous and are usually a pre-planned part of the show. Instrumental concerts At the end of a concert, if there is prolonged applause, one more relatively short piece may be performed as an encore. In some modern circumstances, encores have come to be expected, and artists often plan their encores. Traditionally, in a concert that has a printed set list for the audience, encores are not listed, even when they are planned. A well-known example is the performance of the ''Radetzky March'' a ...
