3 concert in a week

Deep Purple............................ .Le Peuple de L'herbe

Lyricson

Heeeey! Do you know Deep Purple? It's a very famous English hard rock band , and along with Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, they are considered as the pioneers of hard rock, with songs like "Smoke on the Water". I have had the chance to see them, at Antarès in Le Mans, for my birthday, one day after(25 november), and I can say they are really talented!

The following day, monday night, I went to the Big Band Café in Caen to see the concert of Le Peuple De L'Herbe, one of my favorite band!! It's french electro music which concoctions acid jazz, Drum'n'Bass, dub and hip hop. I have seen more than 100 group of music but Le Peuple l'Herbe is certainly one of my favorite, in live!

Finally, last Saturday, to not change at Le Cargö in Caen, I went to a concert of reggae/ragga/dancehall, with a lot of singers , like Lyricson, mickee 3000 & Caporal, Sir Samuel(the singer of Saïan Supa Crew), Back to Zion, Straika D, ect... Very good vibes, very good rasta, very good marijuana, during more than 4 hours, I could forget all about external problems and seize the moment, it's what I like the most about concert! ;-)

Nandor Tanczos

I will present you a person who interested me since one or two weeks, Nandor Tanczos. You think it's impossible that a rasta can be a members of a parliement, Nandor is the living refutation!

He is a high-profile grassroots campaigner for making New Zealand an EcoNation and for restorative justice. First elected in 1999, he was the candidate of Green Party for Auckland Central. The vision of a stateless society based on voluntary mutual cooperation, where individuals are free became part of his ideas. He's a very important activist in England(the miners' strike of 1984-1985), US, and New Zealand, and stand for the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party.

Today he is Spokesperson for Drug Law Reform (including Alcohol), Forestry (Association), Information Technology, Justice, Tertiary Education, Treaty Issues, Urban Affairs, Youth Affairs.He is also a Member of the Justice & Electoral Select Committee. But despite his two terms of experience in the parliamentary process, he continues to say that Parliament is an artificial world which is a facilitator for change, rather than an end in itself.

So why it's an important thing for me, and in general for every body? A person as Nandor Tanczos permits bringing another perspective to Parliament, and most of all making a difference politically.

"Be Oneself and in that Oneness JaH will manifest" (N.Tanczos)

Bernard Werber

Bernard Werber

Hi! Today, I want to talk about Bernard werber, which has been my favorite writer for the last 3 or 4 years! I have read all his books, excepted Le mystère des Dieux which is upcoming in the beginning of the month.

So, Bernard Werber is a famous French writer of science fiction from between the wars and the philosophical story.

The trilogy Les fourmis, which has been translated in 35 languages, has introduced him as one of the most famous writer. B.Werber has written a dozen books, he has also produced a movie( La Reine De Nacre) and written a play (Nos Amis Les Humains).

He is also the author of two science-fiction novels, with two main characters, who are journalists. The first deals with the issues of the origins of the human species (Le Père De Nos Pères) and the second one is about mysteries of the human brain ( L'Ultime Secret).

Tiken Jah Fakoly

Tiken Jah Fakoly - Concert

Wednesday night, I went to the Tiken Jah Fokaoly concert, in Caen, with four of my friends. I imagine a lot of STID students don't know Tiken Jah...He's a Ivoirien reggaeman,who plays music "to wake up the consciences". He sings for oppressed people and about many other injustices suffered to the people of his country, and Africa in general. This struggle for justice,peace, against colonialism, neocolonialism and African dictator make Tiken Jah Fakoly as a much-listened artist throughout the world.

Tiken Jah Fakoly has recorded various tracks with other artists. He is featured on SteelPulse, Riké, Bernard Lavilliers, Dub Incorporation, Pierpoljak, Beta Simon ...

Hello, girls and boys!

My name is Bastien, but everybody calls me "Babar".
I am 18, soon 19, and I'm doing Undergruate degree in statistics and data analysis(STID) in Lisieux, in Calvados. It's a small city but I have meet a lot of kind people, a lot of them are in STID too, and we are always eager to go on party.

During the week-end, I live in the countryside, in Orne, and I love this lifeplace because I see all my friend!!

I'm passionate about reggae music and Rastafari culture, and I go to reggae and dub concerts as often as is possible. But generally, I love all the engaged and festal music.
