Klee and CoBrA: A Child’s play
The painter Paul Klee (1879-1940) is one of those figures that´s used to put emphatically into question -according to a cliché deeply rooted into popular imagination and repeatedly illustrated on contemporary culture through, for example, the deep and memorable speech by Orson Welles in the film The Third Man (1949)- the alleged anti-artistic mind of the Swiss. However, we suspect that someone, maybe Welles himself interpreting or not one of his admirable and judgmental characters, could argue that the majority of Swiss artists, like Klee himself, have to usually leave their country to be able to flourish as creators. However way it is, during most of the 20th century, Klee was revered constantly as one of the great artists by different generations that have had his extremely free and original work as a constant source of inspiration and admiration. Contact in the first decade of the 20th century with German expressionists and the Blaue Reiter movement artists (Kandinsky, Marc, Macke…) and in the second decade with the colourful Orphism of the Delaunays and the Tunisian landscapes, made him completely abandon the monochromatic and disciplined precision of his early works in black and white to embrace colour with moving imagination and enthusiasm that credited him the honour of being included by the Nazis in the infamous list and exhibition of degenerate artists organized in Munich in 1937. The basic principles both of his pictorial production and his vastly influent theoretical and teaching activity (he was a professor at the Bauhaus from 1920 to 1931) are well expressed in his metaphor of the tree, whose trunk is the artist. The roots grow according...Amsterdam Massage Center

Live Jazz in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a city made for jazz, and that´s been taken in by the locals, who look for those small bars, where the sound of a trumpet or a saxophone mix with the steps on the cobbled streets and the calm waters of its canals. So if you love this music and you want to travel to Amsterdam, we will tell you how and where you can have fun listening to a jazz band. One of the places with the most tradition is Jazz Café Alto. Known for its informal and warm atmosphere that make it so cozy, it has live music every night of the week with the best representatives of national and international jazz. So while you enjoy a delicious beer or a special cocktail, you can have the pleasant experience of listening to great performers. It´s located on Korte Leidse Dwarsstraat 115 and it´s open every night from 9pm until the end. We just recommend that you arrive early because the place is small and fills up quickly. Jazz Café´t Geveltje has 25 years experience as a place open for good music lovers. Inaugurated in the 80s as a folk music café, it evolved shyly towards jazz and fusion jazz, becoming a school of the great exponents of this type of music in Holland. Everything is about fun here, you only need to be ready to have a good time, because the place was completely rebuilt to have an accoustic according to the laws and that the sounds stay inside the café. It also has a bar where you can freshen up with delicious beers and some drinks...Kantjil & Tijger Amsterdam

UB40 Concert in Amsterdam
Much has been discussed about reggae and its culture. The Rastafarians, the marijuana, Bob Marley, the legalization of drugs, etc.. The truth is that in Europe many people choose reggae as a lifestyle alternative. It is not unusual to find people with “dreadlocks” and hippie clothes, with hemp products, handmade jewelry a pacifist attitude and “melow” way of dealing with problems. It´s funny how all these speeches are tied together to create a lifestyle in Europe, which apparently goes against the typical Western social standards. All this adds policies of pacifism, coming from Eastern or New Age culture, including meditation classes, yoga, vegetarianism, are already understood as “political correctness”. And of course: let´s save the animals! … Sometimes however, being peaceful does not solve much, and want a better world, does not make the world a better place. Perhaps if you listen to much reggae, you could become suspicious: not only of happiness and relaxation, the world is experienced. The cracked capitalist reality, apparently leads a group of individuals by this proclamation of subculture, the desire for a re-raise of the social norms of a society of Ultra-consumption. Indeed, reggae accompanies these proposals, like the sound of a promised land that has just arrived, but is still taking shape, in which young people are concerned and outraged joining. If we think of early reggae, the dub should be considered as the new psychedelic frontiers. Pioneers like King Tubby and Lee “Scratch” Perry, established the boundaries of sound and carried further with editing and manipulation of instrumental tracks by loading delay, echo and reverb, making the experience of the first...Profiles Hair & Body Spa Amsterdam
