My favourite song : Samba de verao

 Hi everyone!

Today I want to write about my favourite song, choose only one favourite song it's so difficult, but I try it.

Well, my favourite song is 'Samba de Verao' by Caetano Veloso. This song belongs to the type of music called Bossa Nova.
Caetano Veloso is a Brazilian singer and he has a lot of songs that I love, like 'Garota de Ipanema', 'Cais', 'Sozinho', 'Alegria, alegria', 'Voce è linda' etc.
He was born in Santo Amaro da Purificaçao in 1942, and he published 'Samba de verao' in 2002.

This song speaks about a guy who waits his love, and his love is like summer.
The first time I listened this song was when I saw 'Laços de familia', a brazilian soup opera and I attended at primary in that time.
Not long ago I saw 'Lazos de familia' again and I love it, its soundtrack is very special , different mix of types of music, like bossa nova, pop, rock, reggae , etc.

This song is in my cell, and I hear it every day, specially when I'm happy and I want to go out with my friends. When I was in Brazil, I heard in every place, there this song is very popular.

My favourite artist

Today I want to write about my favourite art
It's very difficult to me to pick just one, but anyway! I've done .
His name is Jean Leon Géròme, he was born on May 11th of 1824, in France.

He was an academic painter and sculptor whose works are usually of historical subject, mythology, Orientalism, portraits and other subjects.
In his work can be seen his laborious, thoughtful, mastery in drawing and color, so his painting has a powerful realization.

I like his realistic style of painting and even more I like the topics adressed, mythology and specially the scenses in the Middle East, are about everyday situations but manages to make a special and as the atmosphere fills the picture of a soft golden light when represents the twilight.

Some of most important works are:
Cockfight (1847)
Conssumaton Est (1867)
Louis XIV and Molière (1863)
Pollice verso (1872)
Excursion to the Harem (1869)
Summer afternoon on a lake (1895)
The slave market (1867)

Finally I have to point out that one of his works is called 'Summer afternoon on a lake' which reminds me of the colors of those summer afternoon of my childhood, with my family when we were doing picnic along the river.
