you know issues that most people haven't paid attention to and i'm not sure what to make of them but that seems to be part of a music awards event. this time many people didn't even know the lyrics of these guys song before hand but now they're talking about us and about time too. but music did take center stage for most of the evening. out of the star jason derulo performs his song colors for the first time in germany the official anthem at the summit suckle world cup. because i'm a new determined by commercial success. tom thanks for this beautiful towards me. to look up queen hill in a fish. picked up his seventeenth and putting it top of the all time winningest list. she sang live alongside response in their intuition of his new track.

this it's just a wonderful feeling the queues of really captivated me at some point i stared at my own keyboard long enough but now there's no stopping me with a. pitch i should invent is an artist with a particular obsession he collects old keyboards from recycling yards liberates the keys from them and gives them a new purpose. by me spending time happy when the keyboards are really old and when you can see that they've already been through a lot of the silver he does it. he turns the yellowing that comes with age to his advantage a lot of my other people paint with acrylics and i do it with ease with the there's nothing disgusting about it and with the yellowing is just from sunlight and aging and i utilize all the different shades when i lay on my compositions to create the nuances in coloring that i need that is paul. pierce pac-man for instance

is made up of some three thousand handpicked and cleans keys of many different shades modern keyboards tend to be flashy keys from the older ones helped create a relief so the key mosaics become three dimensional. as it is and it is an advance because a lot of times i've incorporated a very special keyboard into this picture and it was owned by the inventor of pac man himself. i think when i got hold of it i thought it's just too gorgeous i can't destroy it in this thing has a gun so i left it in one piece on the made a classic motif for this class and. the creature devours its creator but it does so in a very charming way off and it's. the inspiration for his first key measure takes was a spit computer games from the one nine hundred eighty s. like space invaders. the frankfurt based artist has always taken his subjects from

the computer world using jesus pixels seems only natural but he also wants to paint conventional subjects now he's working on a piece for the rowing champions league achieving subtle hues and shavings with keys can be a tedious charm. so you have to keep looking at the emmys replacing he's looking replacing keys and looking again he's been working on this image for nearly two hundred hours trying to perfect it. even when he's not working he sees mosaics all around him. but right now he has no time to unwind his client nigel longly is getting impatient. calibrator and i thought this is going to here's a nice to see you kelly ayotte events so far so good as my house the painting coming along for the rowing champions league would you like to see something sure let me show you the very interested. by this is certainly to be nice to have it

finished now then we could auction it off for good causes until i still have to decide who get the proceeds with us but it's fabulous. it's good to know there are a few sections here that are quite finished. this is when will it be done i'm not sure hopefully soon though it will take a while but yes it will be a while yet. both men need lots of patience whether rowing or making art from key. time now for something to eat and cuban cuisine is on the menu but the restaurant in our next report isn't located in havana but rather right here in the german capital iras and eric garage fellow have been running their cuban restaurant since two thousand and fourteen and for our weekly series fifty kitchens one city they share one of their specialties with us. you. home isn't simply the place where you were

born the warden whose home is the country's it gives you the opportunity to achieve something more than just i always say i have two homes where i was born well and good lynn where i now live. in erica ruff and i run a cuban restaurant in berlin to kenya. little havana. before that opened it four years ago they did an awesome free since they discovered that while there was several cuban bombs there was no truly cuban restaurant in the city . so it was high time to open one. plus amongst the phone did what you really like about germans is that they're clearly when it comes to trying out new kinds of crazy and they are very flexible free and open to new experiences and they're very honest. it is corrupt fellow grew up in

a small town in the west of cuba she had her first child at seventeen in one thousand nine hundred nine an uncle who lived in berlin invited her to come visit she decided to stay at home she had been an english teacher in germany she started to work in restaurants. just throw me through my view i always found gastronomy interesting and we don't have that in cuba if people opening their own businesses i do. although i trained is another profession and i've always been drawn to the restaurant trade. and even as a little child like i would love to spend time in the kitchen with my grandmother by two she would always cook for a lot of people and i was there with her. or him us or done by. eric or a fellow was born in the same town as his wife they lived just fifty meters apart

but they never met back then. he studied agricultural science and then left for italy that's where he met era's who was on holiday there eric has lived in berlin for ten years now. he told himself how to cook and he is always experimenting and dreaming up new recipes cuban cuisine is an enduring source of inspiration it is itself a fascinating mix of influences among them african and spanish. i am really passionate about what i do. at the middle i've always enjoyed cooking. and learned a lot working in various establishment the the poor then i thought about it for a long time and then i decided to do this. and present my culture and cook for the german public and political one. but up over here is the cuban national dish the name means old rex but the dish is

a beef steamed the recipe calls for flank steak because the treads well when cooked . cuban cuisine tends to be spicy and highly seasoned with plenty of garlic human and failed leaves the baby leaves are also pictured in the cuban coats of arms there is symbol of strength. to make it up every year for the meat is boiled to tender and then it's pulled apart and looks like old rags to get. to. the history of the dish has long been disputed some say it originated on the canary islands others say it comes from mainland spain. at the bluff though it's something you can always eat them with the good makes a great family oh because it's so practical. in fact you can make two forces with

the one piece of meat which you think you first of a hearty soup with little and sopa and then use the meat to make a delicious well. the restaurant isn't shit about the mainly residential neighborhood with lots of men in street life and cafes people have come here to enjoy themselves since the mid nineteenth century. let the kenya how about is not on the mainland hordes of hungry people don't necessarily come in just by chance the start was difficult but its reputation has been growing and relieve its patrons are making. the style of the atmosphere and the people view to those who didn't seem likely recommended it was very tasty but to say this is a dish to it feels like a piece of cuba that's where i'm from if you lose a broad it's important to have somewhere that feels like oh no you know that's why we come here. there is the regular menu and very special but the

dish that is in great just a month is about the. volume course you know about. and . it better to have in the morning. the hotel free zone in brussels is a modest building at first glance but what most tourists may not know is that it's a wee unesco world heritage site now this is because it was designed by the architect victor horta who was a key architect of the art nouveau era now the building has changed ownership and it's been renovated now it'll open in all of its splendor as a museum and the owner's new living quarters. this townhouse in the heart of brussels is an architectural gem the signature of its designer victor horta is visible everywhere down to the last detail aptly it's

located on the roof or street of the handsome one after years of neglect the former result had lost its shine a sleeping beauty waiting to wake from its slumber. and new fortron indian princess wants to break the spell. soon after moving to the belgian capital in twenty seventeen she discovered the old arguable building it was love at first sight. if a child you don't take care of the child is neglected and i felt in a way that the home was like and often looking for a parent and. and when i stepped into it the house was literally crying please take care of me. and she responded to floor by floor as she lovingly restored every nook and cranny and uncovered elements.

of the building which was designed by pioneering architect victor horta in the late nineteenth century now over a century later has had new life breathed into it. the second is restoring all the painting the frescoes and the fuss up so the facade is going to be like it was originated in one thousand nine hundred four and that is going to pop the heart of the house on ruble because right now it's a bit camouflage you don't really see it it's very discreet. discreet on the outside perhaps but the interior cannot hide the splendor of the treasures it is home to. many of the original furnishings and fixtures are very well preserved. it is people have all you living in are to go. home how can you breed it's overwhelming you know motives and colors are just pouring like a monsoon on you know. getting a make over by the indian art lover was

a godsend for the building and the cultural heritage of brussels a sleeping beauty reawaken. and finally we wrap up the show with a final part of our series on musical instrument the gong has been used in ritual ceremonies prayer and meditation since the bronze age and more recently it's been used on stage with rock bands well since its roots can be traced back to china you might think that this is where the gong is made but actually there's a company in northern germany which has gained quite a reputation in making these metal instruments. one hundred and ten kilograms of nickel silver vibrating creating countless turns

some are in order but they affect us all the same. it is a load of onions when certain people are afraid and say that's too powerful too intense they don't like it but others do they find the vibrations of the gong to be soothing the vibrations go through their entire body so it functions like a massage is that they don't know you mustn't. there's a lot of work involved the four of plastic on couldn't get massages plenty of heat and muscle power and can't you can go wrong along the way each cone starts out as a metal disk that's heated up to eight hundred degrees celsius. and we've heated the edges to soften them so my colleagues can bend them using blows from a hammer otherwise the materials to hobbs if we heat it wrong it can get to solved then my colleagues might moan because our books things up. and they don't make you

facility any shocked out off workers rely on one another and call must have the right surface tension or it won't sound right so then tackle the edges fast making around fifteen hundred dents in the metal if one of them blows lands in the wrong spot the whole instrument can be ruined. if you stick my the cuff country i put all my strength and my energy into it because the gong needs that this gong can only sound good if i give it enough tension power hopefully it will return the favor by making a reasonably nice sound. off to countless. close to shapen stabilize the gong send my uses his helmet to find the sound. i mean minute music can make a huge difference to the way the comb sounds. and gives the gong gets its own face it's a tradition. some of the companies are going to go down for when you tense you make

more mistakes than when you take a more relaxed approach and say yes i'm going to finish scraping it the dangerous policies of this area here so if you scrape along this line you should do the same along the edge of the center circle too but you risk to go and go against the center and then you're done for it is done as it was before you know. after three days of hard work the comb has that world famous pointy sound bands like pink floyd and the police have used the phones gongs. to some a gig i am made in germany could make brain this gong beat any drums hands down. these days rather than on the concert stage more feisty gongs wind up in yoga santas.

and with that we come to the end of the show but we want to let you in on this week's contest winner before we go now all this week we had asked you if you play an instrument and if so which one now lots of people send in photos as you can see right there but there can only be one no winner from our draw and that is andrea linus from mexico and there she is playing her child cello rather so we drew her entry as the winner congratulations under you have won yourself a euro max wrist watch or get that off to you right away so now it's time to say the vibe of be. sure to tune in tomorrow for our highlight show and the best picks out of the week we will see you then. next time on your own the highlights of the week a new museum in venice features an exhibition about the legendary ladies' man casanova. the creations of belgian florist done your own start you demand the world
