LA MÚSICA – Ventana literaria

LA MÚSICA

Solo la música es capaz de sacarte
de un mundo de herramientas y proyectos
donde todo parece limitado
y vilmente planificado
para estancarse y no dejarte ir.
Solo la música es capaz de liberarte
y con ella dar alegría a la gente;
interpretando el momento
en la cálida sonrisa del alma,
desvaneciendo el cansancio
en la más absoluta paz,
desplegando la rutina
con sencillas melodías
tocando al corazón.

MUSIC

Only music is able to bring you out
from a world of tools and projects
where everything seems limited
and vilely planned
to stagnate and not let you go.
Only music is capable of freeing you
and with it give joy to people;
interpreting the moment
in the warm smile of the soul,
fading away the tiredness
in the most absolute peace,
unfolding the routine
with simple melodies
touching the heart.

When colonial Germany committed genocide in Namibia – DW – 04/01/2024

Exact figures are uncertain, but it’s estimated that up to 80,000 Ovaherero men, women and children — 75% of the population at the time — died.

The Ovaherero people perished due to thirst and starvation as well as exposure and overwork at the cold, barren, coastal prison camps at Swakopmund and Lüderitz.

Another 10,000 Nama also died during colonial rule, when a seperate but related rebellion was crushed. For comparison, German forces suffered fewer than 1,000 fatalities…

Has Germany paid reparations?

No. While Germany formally apologized for committing a crime that would from today’s perspective be considered a genocide, it does not recognize the events of 1904-1908 as a genocide in a legal sense, which means Germany is not obliged to pay reparations…

Tikal, Guatemala – Tikal, Gvatemala – Myrela

Tokom planiranja filma „Ratovi zvijezda“, scenografi su morali da ulože nevjerovatnu količinu mašte da bi stvorili zadivljujuća mjesta, po kojima je film postao poznat. Ipak, malo ljudi zna da je većina galaktičkih predjela, u kojima se odvija priča, bila kopija stvarnih mjesta i da je baza pobunjenika, predvođenih princezom Lejlom, bila rekonstrukcija Tikala. Moglo bi se reći da je taj zapanjujući majanski grad u šumama Gvatemale „svijet za sebe“. Jedan od monumentalnih kompleksa, sa svih strana okružen džunglom, nazvan je upravo Mundo Perdido (Izgubljeni svijet), zbog njegove lavirintske strukture i izolovanosti.
