great arias and even the touch of cross to highlight the parts that he wants to know, what makes the dentist? he just did the jack loves and binding thing except for way. but i'm not even allowed to go to my own car on everyone with later holes and every single day stuff getting you ready to meet. the gentleman can join me, right? just do it on dw, the small, but my d, the mandolin is the instrument of the year. and virtuoso, i'd be, i'd be tough shows us why it deserves to be heard. what's the human library? it's where people take the place of books and tell their live stories to strangers . it was at the heart of the industrial revolution. manchester, the british city,

is a top travel destination for 2023. find out why and more now, under a max the, it may be small, get it sound is not lost in a large or to strong. the mandolin dates back to the baroque era is really musician out of the of utah is one of the world's leading mandolin players. here in berlin. he tells us what he loves about the stringed instrument, and why he wants to restore its to its rightful place. the . 2 the high,

my name is ivy 1000. the mandolin is probably one of the most underestimated instruments in the morning, but i think it's wonderful. let me show you why the, on the top regularly packs out the concert halls like berlin's pierre bill, as he's renowned as one of the world's best mandolin players. an instrument especially popular with amateur musicians for the mandolin, is this new wonderful, charming user friendly instruments evolved from other blustering instruments in new york and 8 and sensor. it became very popular. also throw the 20 century as in kind of an off to work instrument. the instrument you would play with friends after work or would take with you for a trip. for 2023. germany's federal state counsels for music has named the mandolin, instrument of the year, originating and the italian broke. today it appears in a variety of sizes and shapes and this hit gave it. it's breakthrough into pop and

rock the to so this is the operating of our youngest, losing my religion. the sun came out when i was in primary school. so i think like over night i became this school kid who can play the area and song. instead of that, i get a place, you know, the value in boston. born and raised in southern israel. i'll be, i'll be taught, discover the mendel in at h h, a journey of discovery that has never ended in 2010. he became the 1st mandolin player ever to be nominated for a grammy for best instrumental solo, his performance with orchestra. he feels especially drawn to adaptations of classical music such as of all these concerto in a minor, the even though i'm remembering there for that many years professionally. i feel that

it's few holes secret series that i need to reveal. i see it with every new piece that i played sometimes is really the very 1st directions of it. is this not playable on demand and, and then, you know, i would sit with it for half an hour and figure out a way to play it. and it's like, ok, there's another way to play the mentoring. so i have a list of discoveries to stay with the instruments for lynn has become i'd be, i'd be toss 2nd film. he moved to germany's capital in 2009. 2 berlin is interesting and it's just a difference to relation to my career, the with the and through the way i, i, i play or interpret the mixture of people and of cultures that you encounter here in the are toward the music for it. but not only is easiest so and reaching

his ideal world is one with a mandolin in every home. obviously talk frequently holds workshops designed to introduce the instrument to a broader public. ready it's one of the world's easiest instruments to learn. the simplest through cards are g major and c major g major is you put the 1st finger on the 2nd front of the 2nd string. and this fingered on the 1st spring on the 3rd from one spring up. and you have a c major court. the of the, of each all mix of parents is the world over. not only as a musician, but as an ambassador and advocate for a long under appreciated instrument. the i am on a mission to bring the magdalene, you know,

in the front stage. i think partly because it's suffered off of kind of a little bit of a bad reputation or bad conversation throughout the history of music is a sweet instrument, extremely capable. not in any way under any of the other instruments of the day. now, the in a library, you can borrow and read books, but can books tell us as much as people can in the danish capital. copenhagen, there is something called a human library that invites you to listen and ask questions. here's how it works. i'm a blind thought. i'm a social work, a book. i'm a transgender, not by an area,

but in modified. i'm here in copenhagen in denmark at the world's 1st over human library. now this is a place where you can come and borrow people instead of books and hear their story . so let's find out which books are available today. the human library was founded in the year 2000 in copenhagen as a safe place to discuss the subjects that otherwise might be uncomfortable. were it considered taboo in casual conversation was that there are 6 books available today, and these are some of the topics that we can discuss now. i'm going to start by borrowing a blind for fleming baptist and wasn't born in the line. he gradually lost his eye sight over the years story. he's not afraid to share. somebody, ask me. i have always been blind. i could tell a story about who is to pay it blind and the story about to have the notion with

the 1st 210 years of my life and laid on kids. on total blindness. people don't think a lot of files to be blind. how proper the magic sits can be okay . and how does the dog help you that helped me to find the all step seats? it also helps me to go for me to be in the right temple. because if i only use my white stick to take pelvis, as well as if i use my dog. this is how the library works. visitors come on the weekend and choose from the list of available, so called books. then there introduced to their book and have 30 minutes to sit down and chat with that specific person about their chosen topic. both parties can break up the conversation at any time if they feel uncomfortable. running abigail sound of the human library 23 years ago here in coping taken and now operates in 85 countries worldwide. well, i wanted to create

a safe space where we could explore diversity, challenge our unconscious bias and basically meet people. we thought we might have something against a we don't like a, we were not socially, you know, certain about. and just really find out what's going on, who are you? now i'm going to borrow a non binary transgender of round addresses, personal questions about gender as well as body modification, which some people might find intimidating. i've heard from a lot of people that they are a little bit afraid of me. last time i was hearing that reading garden have 3 conversation and all 3 said if i were just to walk past you on the street, i wouldn't be a little bit afraid once, really. and that was like last month. okay. yeah. i'll fix openly about being born a biological female, but using a non binary identity after transitioning the

i thing the best thing you can ever experience is talking to somebody you don't really understand when i sit in front of somebody and we just, i'm on the surface don't think we have anything in common. that's the most interesting conversation in half. because if you just read a book you can, you can serve, decide for yourself what part of and you want to read and how seriously you want to take it. but when i'm here in front of you and we have eye contact, then you see that i'm a nice person. you want to listen to me more than just reading a book. visitors can also seek advice from the books as a social worker and know how to help the people i'm working with the families. i work with maintenance my perspective. i've been myself in the system from when i was born. so i know what the people i am hell, thing thinks about being in the system. visitors reactions are positive iphone.

it's really interesting. there are many different books that you can read and learn . i learned a lot and we don't know their lives. i think it's very important to have these like safe space so people can get to each other. and it's also nice because maybe you that have the opportunity to meet people really different from you and like your daily life. and i think it's super important as a project for me i have experience to really get really deep though into to a topic. i would, nobody never touched. so for me to talk with a person. and so i understand what is going on behind a person's mind and how could i menu me that was to show the biggest amount of his picnic to so how does one qualify to become a book? while i think it's a good book and become a library, somebody who really has faced bias and stigma and prejudice. and can help us better understand the group in the community that they were present. the subjects or books to change from week to week to keep readers coming back for more interesting

discussion. overall, i've been very impressed with my experience here at the human library because to tell you the truth, i probably wouldn't have the chance to borrow such books or meet such people in my daily life. and it also reminded me that you can never judge a book by its cover if you're traveling to the u. k. don't just see london. you might be surprised to hear that manchester in northern england was recently included in the list of the world's best travel destinations. for 2023, we wanted to find out if a trip to the former industrial city is really worth it. a welcome to manchester, the northern industrial city that is probably most well known for its football or for the fact that its previous musical legends like oasis and the stone roses. but the cities, industrial heritage means is not exactly famous for its beauty and therefore isn't

usually on everyone's travels booking list. however, it's the only you case that you need to be named one of the places to be in 2023 bibles lonely planet. national geographic and i'm here today it's 5 that if that's really the case, i'll be checking at some of the places mentioned by lily plan the national geographic as well as so mind communion institutions. so let's get going. i'm starting act with the wonder through the on coach district, which was once the beating heart of the cities industry. my gestures payments for being the 1st industrialized city in the world. it was the case leading producer of kaufman and tech styles during the industrial revolution. nowadays on coats is one of the coolest districts in the city with lots of upcoming restaurant cassie's in bars. manchester is one of your fastest growing cities, but it seemed even more redevelopment than usual since the pon demik. there seemed to be individual projects being set up all over the city. this big white building

over here is under construction right now is we kind of get any closer, but it's set to open in june as a major, our space and cultural hop. so the cities development hasn't just been a button you building, creating more green spaces has been at the heart of the cities, growth mayfield park is manifest as far as our city center public park. and it was designed as an urban escape. the you can see that they really made an effort to preserve manchester's industrial parts in the midst of this huge, beautiful green space unique to the city, i guess time for some more culture sands on the wall as manchester's oldest license music venue. and it just recently reopened again last year after undergoing some major refurbishment. manchester has always had a thriving college receipt,

especially when it comes to music. i'm entering some kind of gateway to find out more about had the city shape the music scene here. the why do you think my dresser has been such a hot spot for music? it's always be like trying to read the fine. it's of lots of the i why things happening. i think that's why the music came from like, and also the influence has to came into the city. so we've always had caught a big immigration of influx of, from the irish and folks back in the days to yeah. to the south asian influx to, to, to make an influx. ok. so there's always been kind of something going on in manchester which influenced the music. and i think you can hear it and that full. and i think that for the great music that came out and the great office that came out of my chest, now i'm heading to my final stuff of the day to launch is. so would it be complete

that vincent, one of the city, famous cross fear by some of defining suppressed fear in the world? it is freed right here in manchester. so a trip to the marble arch, it seems like the perfect end to my day is welcome. thank you. so is it here that you guys have here? is it all locally brewed the birth date, initial start in the credit of where the kitchen is now in just a very, very tiny and it's a positive popularity to my group. we needed to pick pharmacists, so we then right away arch from the corner from the hub, hired and going away. just possibilities in manchester. operating out, was it just use right away? ok. we would have us do it the well i have to say i've been live at least surprised by manchester. it might not be as

beautiful as some other cities, but it's definitely a vi a been an atmosphere here. a lot of other places just don't have just the alternative seen as well. you're saying manchester is definitely besides the now for a mouth watering chip delicious dishes such as to last rice or my fe or typical of west african cuisine and rarely found on the menu in european restaurants. but in london's a cocoa restaurant, you can now enjoy specialties from west africa underscore may level this may be the most and the control of fries north america. on some groove lobster to go with it. what the story behind the or cruising version of this west african cast normally turned off wouldn't be saved in a hand across the ceramic bowl like that. and smoking, christie rice, and whatever is just that solid interpretation of what you know child in this

united way. you eat that rice and as cool a bit of a time, but then it's like crusty and jotted smoke use the rest of a coco has been typing up the london restaurant scene with some newsletter since 2020, west african classics. falling dining levels are introducing western pilots to a new kind of area to our approach to the way that we took our food here is a can take, you know, forensic classic methodology, classic dishes. and then we refine it. i use uh, you know, from my background no more than techniques and a lot of progressive ways of cooking. it just sort of really intensify the flavors and not sees with us throughout the whole of the founder a g. i could call me a cocoa is a dream come true. he grew up in nigeria before coming to london to study and later

giving up his career for his true passion, gastronomy and his restaurant is based on the core concept. i wanted people to come in a few of the different tablets to a remote puddle. i think that is just fine with to keep everyone pretty much nothing. a lot of people are right down recipes. you'll actually get them back and we seem down and ticket that heritage. i've done this really tell you the but you know, trying to showcase it in an elegant model. are you uh they gave me husbands a head ship at a car coast in september 2022 to 34 year old, grew up in southern england as the son of nigerian parents and has worked in top rates and mission, all star restaurants worldwide. to me my childhood memories, in terms of food, destiny, go back to my mother. i think it's a very cliche thing to say about how you know, you get inspired from your home cooking and parents cooking. but it's very true.

has to a lot in the style chic memories for me, especially the travel is a go back to nights area. uh, visiting the street mock is the legal bar on law kitchen london. are you uh, they gave me fine spices that are less familiar in europe like spicy and fishy grains of paradise. all grains of the names, a type of lock spies from senegal and kind of go gets many ingredients unavailable in europe directly from produce the countries a is a bit of a struggle to kind of source those specialist spices for us the significance to uh, west african food, we work very closely with these guys to ensure that we get the best quality spices to start as and secondly that these are the specific to the, causing that with the meg as the west african cuisine is too large fries and it takes them to stage on attackers menu to say then spice up the rice with a test source. the sources might have felt that is, i mean,

scott funded cities and spices kids. i spend hours concentrating it into a paste. this can either be took out of a fire in place or cook dinner or even baked. so in the restaurant, hey, we cost this to ensure consistency. the rise to sit with drill scottish lobster along with the source entering made of current. finally, the de la fries smoked to be the face of this restaurant and you know, showcase the food that we did. hey, this is trudy. and we want to embrace our culture and we want to educate people as a native showcase this wonderful kazi. and we would love to see a coca cola. i'm not the only person that's experienced i shall offer. i see that

from my mom. you know, i want the well to see via vices and mommy. these are the 3 basic concrete ends and there were signs this time and no house. but how a cocoa has managed defend the establish, feel centric taste of west africa, or cuisine level in london. start this area where they say one person's trash is another stretcher. and yes, you can make art out of just about anything. with her sculpture is made of trash. stephanie, kira gust once, people to question consumerism. when i see this kind of things of trash i am, i always think okay, this is what's going to he left once to monitor. if he's gone not of science, know our plastic trash. and that's why i like to you. it's in my own work because i feel like that's the most of use. stupid thing that could you nature,

were you searching itself in the well, that's the overwriting. theme of stephanie killed guest work, the french artist phones plants and creatures out of clay. and lets them populate and even overpower trash produced by humans. a wanting to humanity off for sure can help question the world. i'm glad we live in. and in a way that is much more visceral then. and documentary can be like, usually off work, it touches you emotionally and not the collect truly. and i feel like that is what is most important to know. stephanie co gust studied architecture as a child. she loved making minutes just scope because she's been creating her discarded

objects. pieces since 2017 and people loved them. she's got hundreds of thousands of followers on social media and exhibits in europe. asia, australia ends north america, to my work. once less it's kind of like, i tend to describe it as a post apocalyptic, cheerful, via, you know, like it's really happy. everyone is colorful, everything is chill and you have those colors and move shapes. and you just have what's left of humanity, which unfortunately isn't the beautiful things. it's trucks. the little town of fun in southern brittany, this is where the artist lives and works. the plots that sprout from the towns crevices her inspiration. this unstoppable marks of nature is reflected in her paces for my work, i really picked an interest in nature. and so now when i'm out and about,

i always look out for the tiny things that grow out everywhere. and uh, yeah, i really love it. so anything that grows really picks my interest to a message is expressed not just in sculptures, but also paintings. whether in small, the foreign lodge formats, nature is always vibrant and ramping and even call the noises books. the classic cultural assets, the, the basic idea of books is that it's a bit like the trash. so the book is just a representation of know which and what we know and about everything that require until you doing to the environment. and yet, despite our no, let's read, you know,

thing as for the trash, it keeps piling up. stephanie co gas know, receive some of the garbage from friends, discarded items, the basis for new inspiration and that solar from euro max this week. be sure to follow us on social media for more from the world of culture and lifestyle. thanks for tuning in and join us again next time, the
