Se ridică o statuie în onoarea "iubitului fiu", Nicolae Ceauşescu

0


Unii privesc nostalgic în urmă, la perioada comunistă şi consideră că atunci o duceau mai bine, erau mai fericiţi, se simţeau în siguranţă. Unul dintre aceştia, Emil Bărbulescu, va ridica la Scorniceşti o statuie în onoarea "celui mai iubit fiu al poporului", Nicolae Ceauşescu.

Bărbulescu e nepotul fostului dictator şi e mândru de proiectul său. Acesta a oferit un interviu pentru cotidianul francez Le Courrier des Balkans, în care a declarat că nu vrea să provoace pe nimeni. "E pur şi simplu desfăşurarea naturală a lucrurilor", a spus acesta, adăugând că "unchiul său a modernizat în mod profund România şi face parte din istorie."

Bustul va fi gata pe 26 ianuarie, când se împlinesc 92 de ani de la naşterea lui Nicolae Ceauşescu.

accompanied by various dancers and singers of the Hoteni village

'On Christmas Eve, homes are spick-and-span, tables are brightly laid, and the hosts stands waiting for the waits. From dusk to dawn the caroling goes on, relayed by children to youths and finally to grown-ups and the old. The youths - lads, lasses, and musicians - group together around kinship, friendship, and neighbourhood. They go singing along the village lanes in the accompaniment of violins, guitars and kettledrums. From gate to gate they ask 'May we carol?' After they sing two carols and end up with wishes, they are called in to be treated to fine dishes, drinks, and presents.

Then the waits go on to the next house, singing the Road Song on the way. Quarrels and grudges are forgotten and no one is left out, for grief and misfortune may befall the household that is skipped. This tape contains carols, songs, hollers, and men's and whirl's dances. The music was recorded before Christmas (December 1993), played by the Is ensemble, who were rehearsing for a tour in the West. At the 'dress rehearsal' the people ate, drank each other's health, and danced, while the musicians vied with one another for the wittiest quip, just like after caroling.

Ioan Pop, nicknamed Popicu by his wife and close relatives and friends, was born to a family of peasants in the Maramures village of Poienile Izei, where Bela Bartok himself stopped once for his ethnomusicological research (1913). As a child Popicu learned to play the instruments in fashion then: tilinca (shepherd's pipe), cetera (fiddle), bracia
(prepared alto), zongora (guitar) and doba (drum). He began to play as a zongoras at parties and village Sunday dances, for his own pleasure but also to save money to finish high school. Later he was hired as an instrument player with the folk ensemble in Baia Mare, while continuing to sing and play on Sundays at village dances (hori), weddings and other parties in the village and region.

The folk ensemble in Baia Mare Ioan Pop worked with in the last years of communism did not bring him any satisfaction. The music which he was
forced to produce together with others - corrected, orchestrated, predictable and performed under the command of a conductor - seemed to him unnatural, different from the one he heard in Maramures and played on weekends, but he had not the authority to contest it. In 1988, while on a tour in the West, Popicu found out with relief and surprise that village music is not inferior, artistically speaking, to the official folk music, as he had been driven to believe - quite on the contrary.

Therefore, the December 1989 events found him prepared for a change he deemed necessary. He quit the folk ensemble and took a job at a cultural centre in Baia Mare, hoping to organize there artistic events and enable his fellow natives to sing and play like they did at home, not on city stages. He soon learned he had to fight against a host of culture apparatchiks determined to defend communist folk music to the bitter end. Meanwhile, a new enemy emerged: world music - an incongruent music, coming from everywhere and nowhere, with violent, unfamiliar electric timbres which rural youngsters seemed to embrace enthusiastically.

Popicu decided to face up to both competitors. He set up a traditional music group, Iza, with the best fiddlers and dancers, peasants and shepherds from Maramures. The group is meant to persuade the Maramures people that their music and dances are worth preserving and that they can go on stage without always changing into triumphalist operettas. On the other hand, Popicu and his wife are trying by all available means to convince the people around them to keep their beliefs, customs and rituals of their traditional life. Both are involved in all the holy days in Hoteni; and on Sunday mornings they receive children in the kiosk in their garden and teach them how to properly sing, dance and shout witty couplets during dances. The two Pops' efforts to make their lives, home and deeds exemplary are not only in keeping with the right course of tradition, but also an embodiment of their economic and social achievements. However, before building a reputation in his country, Popicu had to be successful in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Switzerland and Germany, where he performed on stage and made records.

The categories of Maramures party music are few, but each of them is rich in distinct songs. The hori are occasional, widely accessible lyrical songs sung individually or in groups, with or without instrument accompaniment, at almost any age and on any occasion. The zicali (instrumental pieces) are performed by ceterasi on fiddles, guitars and drums.

Each peasant house accommodates at least one of these instruments, ever since ancient simple and twin pipes have been given up except by a few solitary shepherds. The zicali de baut (for drinking) are instrumental pieces during which people scan out loud lyrics
appropriate to their age and gender. The scanned lyrics are ironical, funny, very dynamic. They are usually in the form of a dialogue between the girls who confront the boys, or the women in friendly contest with the men. The most common zicali de jucat (for dancing) are Barbatescul
(for men) and De invartit (for swirling). Barbatescul is a men's dance in a circle, with a syncopated rhythm, during which the dancers shout dance commands or humorous lyrics.

De invartit is a mixed, couple dance; it is very quick, and its tunes are frequently improvised by ceterasi starting from preexistent melodic-rhythmic formulae. The hollers of the men (women are never allowed to holler during the dance) roll freely, apparently without any connection to the percussive, rhythmic beat of the tunes. However, apart from Romanians, Maramures is inhabited by Ukrainians, grouped in a few villages in the north of the region. Their party music is not too different, yet distinct from the Romanians'. The ceterasi know this music; it is only natural, as they are often hired for their weddings, at which they perform hori and invartite.

A few decades ago, before Popicu was born, there were also many Jews in Maramures - innkeepers, publicans and cattle traders scattered around the villages or living in the town of Sighet. Most Jews were deported at beginning of the 1940s and disappeared from the region. Those who survived left the country after World War II, leaving behind their graveyards. A curious nature, Popicu studied their music, with help from older ceterasi who made efforts to remember it as they used to perform it at weddings. (One of them is Ionu' lu' Grigore, one of Popicu's frequent collaborators.) Thus, little by little, Popicu's shows have come to incorporate the music of "others." '

    DESCOPERIRE – S-a gasit apa pe Luna !

    0




    NASA a facut senzatie dupa ce a anuntat ca a descoperit apa pe Luna, iar potrivit lui Anthony Colaprete, responsabilul stiintific al misiunii LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite), cantitatile sunt importante. Circa 75 de litri de apa s-au gasit intr-un crater de 20 - 30 de metri cu numele Cabeus. Un oficial din cadrul NASA, Gregory Deloy, de la Universitatea din California, a explicat ca este o descoperire "extraordinara" si "majora".

    In cursul misiunii efectuate luna trecuta, NASA a prabusit o sonda LCROSS intr-un crater situat in apropierea polului sud al Lunii, pentru a studia materialele rezultate din impact, iar in acest fel a fost descoperita apa. "Se poate spune fara sa ne inselam ca in craterul Cabeus exista apa inghetata", a explicat Colaprete. Temperatura in aceasta regiune a Lunii este extrem de scazuta.
