Kodály Method

Hello my dearest OnlineCommClass!

In this blog entry, I'd like to familiarize you with a great Hungarian audiovisual project called Kodály Method. What they basically do is remaking productions by various Hungarian bands and singers in a way that they create something brand new and unique.

In my favourite video, they went to shoot their film in a grade school with Erik Sumo Band, and took the kids there into the project.



If you fancy it, you might be interested in their party today at Merlin Theater. There is a slight chance you run into me there ;) Here is an external link for that:

Tupac Back!

Tupac Amaru Shakur, better known as 2Pac is widely considered to be one of the greatest and most influential rappers of all time. The Harlem born and Oakland bound artist/poet/actor/activist was named on the list of 100 Greatest Artists of All-Time by Rolling Stone magazine and enjoyed massive critical and commercial success. Numerous classic albums, over 75 million records sold. An undisputably legendary legacy. 

On the night of September 7, 1996, after attending the Tyson - Seldon fight in Las Vegas, Tupac Shakur was shot four times in a drive-by. Six days later, he died of his wounds in the hospital leaving the music industry and millions of fans in deep sorrow.

Thanks to modern technology; however, Tupac's back. On April 15, 2012, a hologram of Pac performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in front of a crowd of more than 100.000 people. During a show headlined by Dr. Dre, who was the visionary behind the tribute, the legend rapped two of his most popular songs: "Hail Mary" and "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted" featuring Snoop Dogg. A truly emotional, yet spectacular moment and an unforgettable salute to the true master of the game.



Is it possible that we have witnessed a future trend?
