. d.j. bobo stages a show for all the censors and five million concert goers around the world can testify. tickets to see this was a sensation sell for up to one hundred fifty euros now the d.j. bobo is turning fifty. because you see through fifty loops strangely enough you slow down the beat in the term fix. yes everything gets a bit more relaxed noticed i was on the go constantly for the first fifty years and i can imagine my body and mind now will tell me to take things a bit easier these shingles shaw i don't fall into the big side so. d.j. bobo was born of a need bottom line on january fifth one nine hundred sixty eight he trained to be

a baker but in the one nine hundred eighty s. his career took off when he won a swiss show dance contest. but. he also began working as a d.j. . back. soon he began to produce his own songs his breakthrough came in one thousand nine hundred two with somebody dance with me. a string of hits followed d.j. bobo became one of the top names in euro dance mixing techno and house with rap and pop choruses it was one of these sounds have been one nine hundred ninety s. . into out below.

bobo's live shows always have a story to tell and are very elaborate the important thing is finding the right mix of new songs and old gigs. and on the all things all score when you perform old songs there's more emotional connection with the audience because they have grown up with the songs and also the different from the new songs i play that i know that many people fell in love with my music in the one thousand nine hundred fifty to mention in the noise the fact that they're still with me today makes me very proud do you know if you know that's not you see a short drive away like it was d.j. bobo's last album was released in two thousand and sixteen cheese and it went to number five in the swiss charts due to photos to date musician and entertainer is sold fifteen million records worldwide and the father of two keeps his private life separate from his career but that doesn't mean his heart isn't in his music.

you drop has a long tradition here in berlin and not only is the city nightlife a major draw for tourists today but already nearly a century ago in the golden twenties the german capital was party and depository central that was the time of the weimar republic from the end of world war one until the nazis came to power in one nine hundred thirty three and now a brand new coffee table book takes us back to that heady time of great excesses and great suffering in lovingly illustrated images. illustrator. has visited the legendary scenes of the roaring twenty's in berlin and captured them in his work. back then berlin was europe's fun capital. is up from seed and believe. i did a lot of research in berlin but it was mostly in libraries and archives you from a try to form an image of believing based on photos book couples magazines and

newspapers has a lot of course i also crisscrossed the city for instance passing through brandenburg gate and thinking wow the great thing about berlin is you can feel the history wherever you go your sister. has made history come alive again in seven hundred sixty five illustrations of his work entitled night falls on berlin in the roaring twenty's depicts the big city lights dancers backstage and performing at the city's famous cabaret venues. the mood in the metropolis is one of sinful pleasure nippled work for five years together with a writer. to recreate this last era. but. i tried to capture the atmosphere from back that far from the party on my drawing stark and it was great fun exploring that visually sure this time it's. the.

one nine hundred twenty s. berlin is featured both in the accompanying exhibition to the book and in film. the t.v. series babylon berlin enjoys world wide success. of us with a. big meet up going on. i think interest has continued because these things are simply still valid within it's one thing what was important unfashionable in the nineteen twenty s of things people read watch are still a gentleman and so when you see the films from the period they have an unbelievable energy for months it still goes silent films simply blow you away. in the book it's the text by boris paul fina and the illustrations by oh but nick was that bring one thousand nine hundred twenty s. berlin alive again it comes with an accompanying music cd. but the one nine hundred

twenty s. weren't just about hedonism this was an era of sweeping change in many respects. politics. work. poverty. sports. and fashion you stop this i don't see. the roaring twenty's were only a golden age in the city for one specific group through to most other people there were very dark difficult years most people had no social support network and didn't really have much to laugh about it it's still night life was extremely important extinguished. for the first time the stars of this decade were women people like actress money detritus and dancer josephine baker. night falls on berlin pays homage to female pioneers such as t.f. on how to one of the most successful women in the film business. about whose mental acrobatics astonished cabaret audiences. scott bonds of course i think there

were really great authors in orders both men and women got it through the court i are a lot of female protagonist zipper i think about the. significant things. but gotten as good as a very modern and. the black and white illustrations depict the contradictions of a time when people partied even though the. nightmare of the third device was quickly approaching. the site by the arrow was extremely glamorous but also sinister that people were dancing on the edge of an abyss or a volcano in the book really gets that across the company in books etc to about the coffers if this is the graphic elements are really something that is unique this guy can really draw and i think the hard black and white lines of the drawings capture the mood very clearly of the guns guns caught on film so with so far as i

know that is my insta use i like drawing in black and white stock moves in the shading and contrast a part of my style well but i also think that fits perfectly with the age that's because this was a time of contrasts five accomplish that there was glamour there and there was mystery when i was i thought of the lens of. the city of sweeping change joist on the brink of a catastrophe in the one nine hundred twenty s. . such a fascinating time never get bored of it and for a look at what else was making headlines on this day in europe here's our grab bag of the other culture news. spain's former king juan carlos turns eighty this friday the next monarch who is still bears the honorary title king reigned for thirty nine years until you am to gated in favor of his son philippe. one carlos is a central figure in spanish history he was born in exile in rome.
