Elis Regina
“She is the rare singer who can conjure an ocean of love trouble in the space between C and C-sharp” John Dougan
Over 100,000 grieving Brazilians came to a memorial concert in São Paolo to pay their final respects to this gifted singer. Her voice lives on, she remains an icon in Brazil, remembered with great love not only in her country but in the whole wide world , even here, in Lithuania.
I divorced, I played
I invested in, I gave up
If luck exists,
I do not know it, I never saw it
Elis Regina , Piligrimage (Romaria)
* * *to ask you…
peace for the troubles of mine
I just want to show you
My eyes, my eyes
My eyes
Fátima

Caravel
To deny other countries the access to recent technical knowledge and innovation which the caravela possessed, she was target of rigorous protection measures which, amongst others, forbid her sale to foreign buyers and denied the access to the carpenters who built her.

Tara Perdida
Tara Perdida is a Portuguese punk rock band composed of 5 members: João Ribas (vocals), Ruka (guitar), Ganso (guitar), Jimmix (bass) and Rodrigo (drums), it was originally an underground project, but upon the release of their last album, Lambe-Botas, they have become commercially successful, especially among young generations.
Tara Perdida formed when João Ribas, after leaving Censurados (a pioneering
punk band in Portugal) wanted to create another Portuguese punk rock band, and other bandmantes, Ruka and Orélio had the same goal. So they joined, in 1995 and formed Tara Perdida. Since then Tara Perdida has released five studio albums: Tara Perdida (1996), Só Não Vê Quem Não Quer (1998), É Assim...(2002),Lambe-Botas(2005), and Nada a Esconder (2008).
Tara Perdida is probably the most successful surviving Portuguese punk rock band (albeit not as successful as Peste&Sida or even Censurados on their heyday, but these bands disappeared or stopped playing punk), and has on several notable occasions: opened NOFX and The Offspring concerts
. A DVD was released in December 2007, featuring a recent live performance in Almada. A studio album was also recently released in the beginning of 2008.
The band featured in the opening line-up of the 2008 Lisbon, (Portugal), Super Bock Super Rock festival as guests of Iron Maiden.
Tara Perdida susiformavo kai João Ribas, palikęs grupę Censurados (pirmoji pankroko grupė Portugalijoje), norėjo sukurti kitą pankroko grupę, ir kiti grupės nariai, Ruka and Orélio, turėjo tą patį tikslą. Taiga, jie visi susijižungė 1995 metais ir taip atsirado grupė Tara Perdida. Nuo to laiko Tara Perdida įrašė 5 albumus: Tara Perdida (1996), Só Não Vê Quem Não Quer (1998), É Assim... (2002),Lambe-Botas (2005), ir Nada a Esconder (2008).
Tara Perdida yra tikriausiai pati sėkmingiausia išlikusi pankroko grupė Portugalijoje (nors ir netokia sėkminga kaip Peste&Sida ar net Censurados jų šlovės viršūnės laikotarpiu, bet šios grupės išnyko ar nustojo groti pankroką). Tara Perdida apšildė tokias įžymias grupes kaip NOFX ir The Offspring. DVD iš gyvo pasirodymo Almadoje buvo išleistas 2007 metų gruodį. Studijinis albumas buvo išleistas 2008 metų pradžioje.
Grupė apšildė Iron Maiden Super Bock, Super Rock festivalyje, vykusiame 2008 metais Lisabonoje.
