led d.j. bobo's live shows always have a story to tell and i'm very elaborate the important thing is finding the right mix of new songs and old gifts. and on the all things oscar when you perform old songs there's more emotional connection with the audience because they have grown up with the songs and it's also just a different from the new songs i play that i know that many people fell in love with my musical 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 it enough to also smoking cigarettes try to like it was d.j. bobo's last album was released in two thousand and sixteen she's and it went to number five in the swiss charts the beautiful 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.

dancing till 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 departure essential 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. from seed and believe. i didn't offer researching berlin but it was mostly in libraries and archives flew from a truck to form an image of bin laden based on photos book couples magazines and

newspapers as that 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 the writer. to recreate this last era. but. i tried to capture the atmosphere from back that far from the parting of my drawing star it was great fun exploring that visually sure this time it's. for 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. that's big me up the norm. i think interest has continued because these things are simply still valid within and sponsored by what was important in fashionable in the nineteen twenty s of things people read and watch are still a gentleman and so when you see the films from the period they have an unbelievable energy in the months of the go silent films simply blow you away. in the book it's the text by boris profile and the illustrations by a whole back nicholas that brings one thousand twenties 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 foundation you stop this i don't see and. 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 malini de trace 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 was of course i think there

were really great authors and orders both men and women got it through the court i were a lot of female protagonist zipper i think about all the. significant things. but gotten as good as a very modern and somewhat on that side. 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. and side by side the arrow was extremely glamorous but also sinister that people were dancing on the edge of an abyss or a volcano in the book i really gets that across the company in books that is able to be 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 it's

a fall because i know that this is my insta 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 what i thought of the lens. the city of sweeping change poised 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 a grab bag of the other culture news. strains former king juan carlos turns eighty this friday the next monarch who is still bears the honorary title king of reigned for thirty nine years until the abdicated in favor of his son philippe. one carlos is a central figure in spanish history he was born in exile in rome. the.

human help the robot may be able to paint on its own but it can't decide which papers all paints to use. a newly developed algorithm ensures that no two pictures are the same just as with human made artworks everybody is an original. to do it seem to mean. we want to introduce random elements in our works so they would be seen as realistic paintings of eastham ago but is pieces that derives from the movement of an artist made of flesh and bone you do not these think of. the days still certainly far off when machines will be able to paint by casa. still needs help even to sign his works but each new version of the out. rhythm refine his technique with hundreds of words to be scripted the robot from tree s.

a good way to see the local countryside is to take a ride in a horse translate this means of travel is popular in the region during the cold season the augustine know which family has traveled about four hundred kilometers to spend their winter vacation here. calling the country we wanted to see every corner of this region about so that's why we decided to take one of these plays. to go skiing to this is our first time here and we think it's great we'll be back for sure trish and. the driver where is home made woollen gaiters plus a bubble had made of sheepskin like all of his colleagues it can get pretty windy out here. this is the southern part of the touchdown range. with little going on as an altitude of one thousand meters see that mountain over there it's in slovakia.

pull up to eight passengers at a time. the roads here have lots of curves which isn't unusual for mountainous regions this part of the country also gets a lot of snow and that makes horse drawn sleighs an ideal means of transport just as the augustine family. do not seem to be at first i was really surprised at how narrow these mountain roads are so i also know it's tough to get to some places. things didn't turn out like i thought they would on our first day here our car got stuck life is different here so yeah it's. not that. many of the local residents have been dealing with travelling in still way conditions all their lives so they know what they're doing. it gets busy on through pocky street after sundown the bars restaurants and. pleasant places to eat drink and get warm
