  • Randy (album)

    Randy (subtitled Băp!! Beep Boo-Bee Băp Beep-M-Boo Bee Băp!) is an album by American jazz pianist Randy Weston recorded in 1963 and originally released on Weston's own label, Bakton. The album was later reissued in 1972 on the Atlantic label under the title African Cookbook.

    Reception

    Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "When this set was recorded in 1964, pianist Randy Weston had no luck interesting any label to release the music, so he came out with it independently on his tiny Bakton company... It is surprising that no company in the mid-1960s signed Weston up because "Willie's Tune" from the set had the potential to catch on, "Berkshire Blues" is somewhat known and the mixture of accessible bop with African rhythms overall is appealing... An excellent outing."

  • Loco (Apache)

    Loco (1823–1905 or 1909) was a Copper Mines Mimbreño Apache chief.

    Name

    It is unknown whence Loco received his name. One theory suggests that he was named for the fact that he was "'crazy' enough to trust the white men." Another theory says that he got his name from his actions at a battle against the Mexicans, where he supposedly braved gunfire in order to save an injured warrior.

    Time as chief

    Unlike the militant Geronimo and the proud but aware Victorio, Loco was an advocate for peace. After the death of Cuchillo Negro, chief of the Warm Springs Tchihende, (1857) and Mangas Coloradas, chief of the Copper Mines Tchihende, (1863), the Copper Mines Mimbreños and the Warm Springs Mimbreños, under Pindah's pressure, were forced to leave the Pinos Altos area, near Santa Rita del Cobre, and try to concentrate in the Ojo Caliente area both of the tribe's bands; after Delgadito's death (1864) the Copper Mines Tchihende Loco, along with the Warm Springs Tchihende Victorio (who, already chosen as his son-in-law by Mangas Coloradas, was preferred to the older Nana), became the chiefs. The Mimbreños accepted to settle in a reservation, before at Ojo Caliente and later at Cañada Alamosa, but the Mimbreño reservation was abolished, and Victorio's and Loco's people was sent to the Mescalero reservation at Tularosa. When the Government stated to deport the Mimbreños to San Carlos, in 1877 Victorio and Loco led back their people to Ojo Caliente, but, in 1878, 9th Cavalry was sent to bring them back to San Carlos. Victorio took again the warpath, but Loco was arrested. Loco didn't join Victorio in his last war in 1879-1880, remaining in the San Carlos reservation. In 1882, when a party of Apaches including Geronimo forced Loco to leave for Mexico, Loco instead waged guerilla warfare against the Chiricahuas. In 1886, Loco went to Washington, D.C. to negotiate; however, like Geronimo, he was made prisoner and sent to Florida.

    Loco (composition)

    Loco is an orchestral composition in one movement by the American composer Jennifer Higdon. The work was commissioned by the Ravinia Festival of Highland Park, Illinois to commemorate the Ravinia train as part of the Train Commission Project. It was first performed on July 31, 2004 at the Ravinia Festival by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

    Composition

    Loco has a duration of roughly 8 minutes and is composed in a single movement. Higdon described her inspiration for the piece in the score program notes, writing:

    Instrumentation

    The work is scored for an orchestra comprising two flutes, piccolo, three oboes, three clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four French horns, three trumpets, three trombones, tuba, piano, timpani, three percussionists, and strings.

    Reception

    Jeremy Eichler of The Boston Globe described Loco as "a gleaming and rambunctious curtain-raiser". Scott Cantrell of The Dallas Morning News similarly called it "seven minutes of high-energy scurries, clatters, chatters, jabs, chugs and fanfares." Andrew Druckenbrod of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote, "This piece imitates a "fast-moving train," and it roared into the hall. The fanfare-like work filled every nook and cranny with rhythmic pulsing and walls of sound." He added:

    Loco (Jowell & Randy song)

    "Loco" (English: "Crazy") is the lead single from Jowell & Randy's album El Momento released on February 27, 2010. A remix features reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel, was released later on June 15, 2010.

    Live performances

    The remix version was performed on the 2010 Premios Juventud on July 15, before that, Wisin & Yandel performed their single "Irresistible", including a choreography by the dancers of Step Up 3D dancing behind them.

    Music video

    A music video for both versions (album version & remix) was filmed since February 23, 2010 in San Juan, Puerto Rico directed by Music video director Ulysses Terrero.

    The video for the album version was premiered on March 30, 2010, while the remix version with Wisin & Yandel was premiered on July 8, 2010.

    Someone

    by: Lee Greenwood

    Love should mean so much
    But the only kind I touch was incomplete
    Till the moment I found you
    That's the moment that I knew
    There's someone like me
    Who still believes somethings are meant to be
    Someone who needs forever someone like you
    Holding on to the same dream I've been dreaming of
    Someone who still believes in love
    So here you are at last
    We can feel what's come to pass
    Is here to stay
    World can come and go
    It won't matter 'cause I know
    There's someone like me
    Who still believes somethings are meant to be
    Someone who needs forever someone like you
    Holding on to the same dream I've been dreaming of
    Someone who still believes in love yeah
    Someone like you
    Holding on to the same dream
    I've been dreaming of
    Someone who still believes in love
