Posty's viral collaboration with Blake Shelton, ‘Pour Me a Drink’ With F-1Trillion not dropping until August 16th, we suspect the ‘Chemical’ hitmaker will treat us to another single or two ahead of the official release date, with fans still clamouring for Post Malone to drop his Luke Combs link-up, ‘I Ain't Got a Guy For That’. 'Study on the cante's of Lebrija', by José Valencia. XXIII Biennial of Flamenco from Seville. Nissan Cartuja Auditorium. 26 Sep 2024. Photo: Photo archive La Bienal @Laura León I entered the Cartuja and I got a whiff of homeland and snails. I knew many faces. Seville became a hamlet of Lebrija in a moment. I'm home now! I thought. Because its people treat you as if you were part of the family. With the warmth of a fraternal embrace we put our flesh at the mercy of the cante"Today everything is Lebrija," he said. Jose Valencia. And created a mess. In the Lebrija neighborhood the tonás were made, the martinetes and the deblas and the cante by soleá It smelled like Carrasco y Malena, Valencia and Peña. The aroma brought the tentacles rocking the melodies. And they penetrated the senses, recognizing the skin the color of their harmony. The times were squared. And in honor of Popa Pinini José curled the touches, melting Utrera and Lebrija in the cante by cantiñas. The Lebrija wicker is measured by surnames. The seguiriya is called Bacán. Chacho Bastian created those tonal cadences that José drew with mastery. He endorsed three arreons and dressed the cante in mourning, searching for the black laments in the centers of their wounds. The solemn soleá, the rocking tientos, rhythmic cantiñas… The guitars of John Requena y Peter Maria Peña They carried this gypsy on their shoulders, marking the little paths. They gathered in the zenithal light and José's chest thundered hot for galleys when he remembered El Lebrijano. A deep shake that overwhelmed us, cursing our little hearts, saddened. Because nobody sings the galleys. And nobody like José, who drags in the flow of his veins the echoes of John the Great. Whose are those tangos, José? - Manuel de Paula's mother. He asked permission from his uncles, the respected gypsies, to dig into the canteHe dug through time until he found the personal melismas that rescue Lebrija and his attributions. He dusted off these binary measures of unmistakable flavour that have Lebrija tattooed on the palate of his sound. And he gave them to Seville. The Lebrija wicker is measured by surnames. The seguiriya is called Bacán. Chacho Bastian created those tonal cadences that José drew with mastery. He endorsed three arreons and dressed the cante in mourning, searching for the black laments in the centers of their wounds. Who fired that shot? Lebrija hurts. He puts his finger on the wound, he screams sweetly. He sifts the ducas, weaving the music between the strings of his guitars. Pedro Peña He was a magician. And he turned everything he dreamed into a hymn. Friends, there are no friends anymore… Say, say, Ana… but with elegance and beauty, far from the stridency, beautiful. José Valencia prostrated himself before his cante and tempered the Romance of the snails, which Pedro never recorded, melting the fans. José Valencia presented the "project as a deep analysis of the cantes, their families and their way of conceiving and understanding this wonderful artistic expression. He gave a lesson in Lebrija, for his commitment and honor, for honoring his people, for love of art. He reviewed two centuries of cante in Lebrija and turned the theatre upside down with the help of his age. José came to revalidate his scepter. And he showed that thanks to him, here "today everything is Lebrija."

Lebrija said Just because it's not the holy water we think about used in churches or to bless people it is holy in the sense of what it's meant to do."  Lebrija said the story of what led him to the priesthood "depends on who you ask" but he felt a lifelong calling to the priesthood His mother often tells a story of him at 4 years old celebrating mass in Latin in the family bathroom by placing a cloth over the lid of the toilet and using it as an altar.  He earned a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Business Administration from Florida International University and was president and CEO of Seraphic Fire and Firebird Chamber Orchestra in Miami but decided to enter seminary at 39.  "I always saw the world through spiritual glasses the joys of the world and all these other things I'm influenced by my faith and it's at the core of who I am as a person," Lebrija said that was the greatest joy I've ever felt in my life I wish I actually did it when I was younger I wouldn't be the person I am and all my experiences have led me to the priest I am today." Lebrija serves as visiting clergy to Church of St but being a rector or serving at just one church has never appealed to him.  "That is one quarter of being a priest in the parish That's a true gift and there's such a holiness to the moment like when I'm doing the Eucharist prayer and calling down the holy spirit I can almost see Jacob's Ladder of the angels bring our concerns up to God and bringing God's grace It's a palpable feeling in that space at that exact moment I miss."  Lebrija doesn't want anyone to think of him being sacrilegious for making and selling tequila — he takes his vows and his work in the church seriously and looks at the end results of being able to provide children living at shelters in Mexico with basic needs and the opportunity to go to school.  "We need to get past the age of just giving money and thinking 'my conscience is clear I've given money' and think about being called to a sense of community and a relationship with other people and that's important too," Lebrija said.  Brian Blueskye covers arts and entertainment for the Desert Sun He can be reached at brian.blueskye@desertsun.com or on Twitter at @bblueskye.  Dangling from a towering crane, the black 1975 Plymouth Duster glints in the summer sun as a team of workers carefully angles the polished hood to face N Broadway Avenue Under the watchful eye of Mexican artist Gonzalo Lebrija workers in hard hats guided the classic car nose down toward a hole lined with and surrounded by a black rubber waterproof membrane "I like that it's really in a kind of garden, like an urban garden, and it's on this avenue, the Automobile Alley," Lebrija told The Oklahoman and it’s nice when the work also can achieve some new ideas over time."   As midday traffic zipped along — with occasional slowdowns as drivers noticed the roadside action — the installation team on Tuesday perfectly parked Lebrija's car at its extraordinary off-the-ground angle They then propped a ladder against the now-vertical undercarriage so one team member could climb up remove the hefty hook and free the Plymouth from the crane When the 2,500-pound car proved sturdily balanced on the armature attached under the front bumper As a hose-wielding worker filled the 25-foot-by-50-foot reflecting pool under the Duster with 2,500 gallons of water Steve Boyd poured a packet of black nontoxic dye into the manmade waves "It's definitely not something you see every day,” said Boyd Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center's exhibitions manager "It looks awesome. ... There's a long history of the auto industry here in OKC, and obviously, Automobile Alley pays homage to that," said Oklahoma Contemporary Director Jeremiah Matthew Davis "We do get a lot of walk-up and drive-up traffic .. and we'll chalk that up as a win any time somebody stops and reverses course to see the art."  The inspiration for "Breve historia del tiempo" — which translates to "A Brief History of Time" — came to Lebrija more than 20 years ago "The first idea really came from a kind of dream that I had of a car falling down into a lake and just stopping at the moment it touched the water Then this image just started to grow up in my mind until I did it," Lebrija said Lebrija devised "Entre la vida y la muerta," a 2008 performance piece that he pulled off by using a crane to drop another Plymouth Duster into a lake just outside of his home base in Guadalajara He used a high-speed camera to immortalize his car drop and managed to capture a photograph of the moment just before the front bumper touched the water the print changed the image on my conscious you have this kind of vertigo sensation; you feel that the car really is giving you this idea of gravity force."   If he could reimagine the photo as a large-scale sculpture featuring the muscle car suspended over a reflecting pool the artist figured he could give people a 3-D version of that feeling what would happen just with the simple gesture of lifting a car and changing the direction of being horizontal and just put it vertical in water?” Lebrija said Sometimes the production is not very simple so sometimes simplicity takes a lot of effort Known affectionately as "The Car," the sculpture is part of Mexico City’s famed La Colección Jumex. It is on loan to Oklahoma Contemporary through March 27 There's always a little bit of slowdown at the border They did all this in a little less than two weeks."  The latest installation of his massive public sculpture marks Lebrija's OKC debut "I always find (it) exciting to bring my work to new territories It will always create different reactions," he said "Public artwork should have the responsibility to engage not only art professionals "This exhibition is many years in the making," Davis said "We found a lot of parallels between the city of Guadalajara and the city of Oklahoma City."  The exhibit's title is Spanish for "The House That We Invented."  started to really invest in culture and art and design The artists who are part of this exhibition — dating back from the '90s until more recently more or less two generations of artists — have decided (that) instead of leaving for Mexico City they were going to stay in Guadalajara and make it something special we see a vision for how we can continue to grow and expand as a city and continue the ongoing cultural and economic renaissance," Davis said The exhibit will feature works by Mexican artists who rose to international prominence in the 2000s such as Jose Dávila "We've got a major Mexican-American population ... here in OKC — concentrated on the south side but really all over the metropolitan area — so much so that in fact, later this year, a Mexican consulate is opening in Oklahoma City," Davis said so we're already an international city in that respect But bringing in the Mexican consulate will add a new dimension to the city and to its standing internationally."  Oklahoma Contemporary already is planning a big Open House weekend Sept 23-24 to celebrate the debut of "La casa que nos inventamos."  "In a way, it's making up for lost time," Davis said. "We had planned for some amazing things to happen in March of 2020, and the COVID pandemic got in the way of those plans But we're relaunching in some ways with this exhibition to make sure that everybody here in our community knows that this is their art center and we're open for business."  Oklahoma Contemporary will celebrate the arrival of Lebrija's classic car sculpture with a free opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m The festivities will include live mariachi music a cash bar and brief remarks from the artist "The automobile for my generation — and for many other generations — I think is the most important object of the 20th century .. with all the concepts and ideas that apply around the car but also about this sense of freeness," Lebrija "I think we are arriving to the end of an era now of the gasoline cars transportation is changing — and they should change Lebrija said people are free to interpret it as they wish but it doesn't matter my concept anymore once it becomes in the public domain All these stories that people start to make out (about it) What: Gonzalo Lebrija's monumental sculpture "Breve historia del tiempo"  Where: Campbell Art Park at Oklahoma Contemporary Information: https://oklahomacontemporary.org The Westport Book Shop is pleased to welcome mixed media artist Katya Lebrija as guest exhibitor for the month of January at the Book Shop’s Drew Friedman Art Place Katya is exhibiting several pieces from her Destinations collection.  These works freshly map both real and imagined places.  The viewer is drawn in with strongly composed fields that feel unexpectedly light and free because they defy perspective.  They might indicate a road somewhere with aqueous palettes and amorphous forms beckoning elsewhere.  Externally oriented these pieces invite delightful deciphering and reflection “My journey as an artist consists of endless exploration and experimentation.  I am fascinated by using different materials in my art and work with different mediums like acrylics or paper.  My Mexican heritage and roots inspire most of my subjects.  The richness of the Mexican culture frees my work and I reinterpret reality by introducing abstract elements to my compositions,” said Katya Katya was born in Mexico City.  She obtained her Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Universidad Anáhuac in 1995.  After graduating she worked as a freelance Graphic Designer until December of 1999 when she moved to the United States.   Katya Lebrija’s art has been exhibited in various sites throughout Connecticut as well as in her native Mexico City.  She often participates in juried group shows and has had several solo exhibitions since 2013 Katya’s artwork will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through January 31 2023.  All artwork on display is available for purchase To see more of Katya’s work, visit her website:  www.katyalebrija.com  You can follow her on instagram at @katya.lebrija is downtown Westport’s only source for gently used and antiquarian books DVDs and audio books.  It is located at 23 Jesup Road right across Jesup Green from the Westport Library The Book Shop’s “Drew Friedman Art Place” is an area of the store dedicated to exhibiting the work of community artists year-round on a rotating basis.  Miggs Burroughs a Trustee of the Drew Friedman Community Arts Center and a founding member of The Artists Collective of Westport The art exhibit is open to the public during the Book Shop’s business hours:  Sundays and Mondays from Noon to 5 p.m. and Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m or categories -

Rochelle Steiner the museum's chief curator and director of public programs and education said in a prepared statement. "Palm Springs Art Museum is thrilled to have the opportunity bring this large-scale work of art to the public." The museum will present an exhibition titled "American Roads" in tandem with the installation, Steiner said; it is a "portfolio of photographs that capture our love of and dependence upon cars while also contemplating the complexity of this country’s major highways and local roads.” “This extraordinary installation encourages visitors to consider the automobile as a symbol of modern life and human aspiration,” Louis Grachos the museum’s  executive director and CEO We’re gratified to be able to present this striking piece of public art for our community to experience not only now while much of Palm Springs remains under COVID restrictions but also just as our museum reopens on April 1.” the livestream will then be shifted to show the reconstruction of the Aluminaire House in the

[Lariat (The Chance of Stopping Time)] a practice that has its origins in farm work and ranching and that developed into a sport following the agrarian reform of the early 20th century It is the national sport of Mexico and is listed by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity One of the events of the Charrería is called piales en el lienzo in which a mare must be heeled by throwing a lariat to catch its hind legs The event is a beautiful combination of horsemanship and roping skills Lebrija uses the most popular elements of Mexican culture to delve into disrupt and readjust the meaning of time and perpetuity a time that longs for the end of social conventionalisms and patriarchy This is quite an ambitious battle for Mexican society the artist has created images and actions that turn on the concept of time and does everything possible to slow it down and fend off the related acceleration of time that is imposed by the power of the masses and introduces us

"Is it about having more than one service on a Sunday "Are there resources that we can help you with so that if someone walked into your church they would see the Holy Spirit alive and present there?" He is particularly keen for churches to look at ways of reaching out to younger generations "The best evangelism I can do is when I turn to my family - my nieces and nephews for example "Only one of the six of them has a close church relationship but I know that they're spiritual and have deep conversations about faith "How can we do research looking at how they're meeting their spiritual needs right now "All religion is to help us as humans to make spiritual meaning of our lives and our world "As Christians we find meaning through the resurrection of Jesus "My theory is they're finding it somewhere and we need to think about how can the church be there we need to ask 'can we walk side by side with you there?'" he acknowledges that tradition is also important "The question is how do we preserve this but also "There's a lot bias within church towards the status quo - if it's worked so well for hundreds of years why do we want to tinker with it "We need to think about how we can get people to go from one place to another without losing them along the way." The pandemic has shown that churches can move quickly to respond to people's needs "When Covid first started there were people dying in hospitals and our priests couldn't get to them to administer the last rites "Within seven days we developed a phoneline where people could call and 24 hours a day there would be a clergy person available to help- and you "It didn't cost much and we had hundreds of members of the clergy wanting to volunteer." As someone who once experimented with holding Eucharist spin classes Lorenzo also emphasises that people shouldn't be afraid to try new things and fail we're showing it's ok and it's a part of innovation head of the Faith Action Programme for the Church of Scotland projects and people all over the Kirk and we want to support grassroot innovation where ever it happens "We also want to encourage a refreshed culture of creativity," he adds "It is important that we become comfortable with trying the new even if the outcomes are not what we thought they would be there is always something to learn Former Eco-Congregation Scotland coordinator with a passion for social justice ordained Join in with Drama Kirk’s ‘Passion Play in a Day’ Church opens new apprenticeship route to ministry Contact us To purchase photos visit http://photos.newtownbee.com Katya Lebrija puts names to her works of art but prefers that viewers have their own responses to the colorful works in the artist's oeuvre "Each painting has a conversation," the artist said Monday "My paintings tell a story that's different for each person." Ms Lebrija was discussing her work with Rosemary Rau where nearly two dozen of Ms Lebrija's works were being curated into place that morning called "The Art of Conversation," is on view until June 22 Large scale works - most measuring at least 30 inches on one direction or the other - have been placed on the walls of the day spa and art gallery at 32 Church Hill Road as well as the reactions of her staff as they arrived at the spa that morning "This is going to be one of our best shows," she said "It's great to see the staff coming in and looking at the art and being very happy with these works around them." Employees could be heard quietly speaking with Ms Lebrija as they saw the art that would be adorning their workplace Others smiled as they looked over the growing collection of pieces and a view of apartment rooms filled with ladders were placed near cityscapes and even paintings celebrating chairs The latter was part of a full series celebrating the ubiquitous furniture laughing and picking up catalogs of previous collections highlighting ladders "Doing that allows me to explore a theme 100 percent "I love to then see the finished series all together," she added Ms Lebrija has been painting all of her life but turned to painting after the birth of her daughters Ms Lebrija moved the United States 17 years ago and enjoys developing her skills and networking through artist groups She began working in watercolor after connecting with a group based in Westport but a suggestion by the director of that group led her to change mediums "so even my watercolor paintings were bright Her artist's statement, which welcomes visitors to her website reiterates that Ms Lebrija's work celebrates her Mexican culture "its beauty of vibrant colors and textures." Her work "is expressed without rules or hesitation." and has joined a Norwalk-based artist's collective led by Claudia Mengel when she was featured in an October exhibition in Greenwich She continues to participate in juried group exhibitions and has had her work picked up by galleries in Norwalk and Southport Ms Lebrija began adding texture and additional elements to her paintings Today she is crafting mixed media works that incorporate leftovers from paper she makes herself The message in such works is up to interpretation and what I'm trying to say," said Ms Lebrija I like them to work at what a painting says to them." saying so many of the new works going on view are "open to interpretation." The public is invited to meet Ms Lebrija during an artist's reception scheduled for Sunday The spa will open that afternoon from 4 to 6 pm Avance Day Spa, at 32 Church Hill Road, can be visited on Mondays between 10 am and 4 pm; Tuesday and Thursday, 11 am to 8 pm; Wednesday, 10 am to 6 pm; Friday, 9 am to 6 pm; and Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm.

carrying West Nile fever virus after a five-year-old was infected by the insect in the Seville province town of Lebrija recently was also recorded in a 17-year-old boy in the Dos Hermanas municipality Regional minister for health Catalina García assured there is a protocol for action and vigilance She pointed out the entomological study that is carried out permanently in the most at-risk areas to detect whether there is a high prevalence of mosquitoes carrying the virus in addition to the regional ministry of agriculture monitoring of animals "The circulation of this mosquito has been anticipated this year by the rains and high temperatures because it is usually between June and November with the greatest influence during the month of August when there is a greater presence and this year in the month of March we have already had two cases," García said The minister also assured monitoring has already been carried out near Lebrija and "for now it has been negative" "The important thing is that we are always monitoring and that the municipalities have all the information immediately," García added García called on the entire population to use "very important preventive measures such as not going near places where there is stagnant water wearing light-coloured clothes that cover the whole body using skin repellents and mosquito nets in houses" The two recent cases come after 113 were reported to the national surveillance system by the end of 2023 with the summer months being at highest risk The bite of the mosquito carrying the virus usually causes fever although about 80% of infections are asymptomatic but elderly and immunocompromised people are at increased risk of developing West Nile neuroinvasive disease Lebrija town hall agreed to raise the risk level from three to five in its integrated surveillance and control plan for vectors transmitting this disease which means an increase in the controls of preventive treatments the council has been carrying out since last March to control mosquito populations throughout the municipality Comentar es una ventaja exclusiva para registrados PUBLICIDAD / ADVERTISEMENT PUBLICIDAD / ADVERTISEMENT Miguel Funi is a cantaor, not a bailaor, although he combines both, as it was traditionally done in the gipsy parties of his childhood in Lebrija, and it was in these family parties where he learned everything, although he also learned from great stage artists that weren’t from Lebrija I had a long conversation with Miguel Funi despite the fact that he’s no longer a child He’s one of the more sincere flamencos I’ve ever met but he’s an upright man who doesn’t mince words and that sometimes has got him in trouble with friends The important is to say it when the artist is alive and to help him survive in a small world that is sometimes unfair While Miguel is an artist who still works and has recognition we haven’t made the most of the fact that he is a gipsy cantaorfrom the old school of Lebrija who has wisdom and life experiences that few people of his generation have had he would be a cherished artist being invited to theatres and universities all over the country as a guest speaker to tell of his life experiences because he still does both with talent and lots of art as it was traditionally done in the gipsy parties of his childhood in Lebrija and it was in these family parties where he learned everything although he also learned from great stage artists that weren’t from Lebrija despite having had opportunities of settling in Madrid or Seville walking every day on its narrow cobblestone streets breathing the marshland air and smelling the perfume of the flowers and olive trees Miguel is also an artist who suffers because he disagrees with the way cante jondois going these days He agrees that there are good artists with good voices but he laments the lack of a good fan base and the lack in artists’ personality when youngsters looked up to the old masters to learn from them in parties and gatherings He gets thrilled when talking about Mairena He talks with respect about other artists he didn’t grow up with with whom he worked while that cantaor was near retirement It’s not acceptable that we’re not making the most of a cantaor like el Funi because there are not many artists like him left Very few young artists sing and dance at the same time –Luis Peña and Javier Heredia stand out– and the few who do because few of those who sing and dance today can match Ansonini and his dancing style has a character that takes you to another era 40 años de
