Cartier x Six N. Five - Magicien from Six N. Five on Vimeo.

I am delighted to welcome you to this realm, where we have had the privilege of creating a short film that invites you into a magical world of new realities: the Cartier Magicien universe.

Since the begining of this journey I have been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling, and the Cartier Magicien project represents the culmination of many creations made over the past few years. Through a combination of different techniques and my own universes, a new piece has been born that invites viewers on an enchanting journey through the captivating and unique vision of Cartier watchmaking.

From the surreal to the sublime, each frame of the film is a testament to the power of digital art to evoke sensations, ignite the imagination, and transport audiences into new realms. With a focus on beauty and a talented team committed to creating something unique and distinct, we have crafted a piece that showcases Cartier’s iconic collections and celebrates the art and ingenuity of digital storytelling.

[le Bananier bleu] - https://is.gd/BCsIAO

"Philo", Philippe Gouyer-Montout - percussions, bèlè

Le percussionniste martiniquais Philippe Gouyer-Montout, plus connu sous le nom de scène Philo, est l’une des étoiles montantes du bèlè. Son premier album, Landzifou, est sorti au début de cette année 2020. Une excellente occasion de lui ouvrir les portes du Bananier bleu, et un artiste à suivre. Bio fournie par l’artiste.

Né en 1976, Philo grandit à l’Anse Dufour, quartier des Anses d’Arlet, fief du Bèlè du sud de la Martinique. Dans son enfance, il découvre une Martinique « Rue Cases Nègres » qui s’éclaire à la bougie, qui se réveille au pipirit chantant, au chant du coq, aux sons des conques de lambis et à la cadence des coups de sennes des marins-pêcheurs.

C’est au contact de ses grands-cousins et des anciens du village parmi lesquels son grand-père Jovany Plumber et son oncle Tifrè, qu’il s’initie pour la première fois aux pratiques du tambour : Bèlè, Danmié, Chouval bwa et Gwoka guadeloupéen ne le quitteront désormais plus durant toute son enfance.

En 1996, il arrive à Montpellier pour étudier la philosophie ; porté par sa passion et sa foi dans le Tambour, il joue dans les rues, sur les places publiques, les bars en solo ou avec les groupes antillais de la région (Antilles-Bèlka, Savannah Mujick, Kaladja Percussion, Aksyon Ka). Il fera à ce moment ses premiers pas en studio et sur les scènes locales (Le JAM, Victoire 2, l’Antirouille, le Rockstore, le Médiatore, le Théâtre de la Mer).

Arrivé à Rouen en 2001, il autoproduit en 2002 et 2005 deux EP intitulés Philo et Les Voix du Tambour Vol. 1 et 2 qui font partie d’un projet récompensé en 2004 et 2005 par la Région Normandie, proposant performances scéniques et animations pédagogiques. En 2006, sa prestation lors de la première partie des Maîtres du Bèlè au Trianon Transatlantique de Rouen, aboutira à un duo inédit mariant bèlè et gwoka, ils se produiront sur plusieurs scènes en France (Jazz sous les Pommiers, Théâtre de Caen), puis au Sénégal (Gorée Diaspora Festival). Parallèlement, il fonde Kannigwé avec Jimmy Louis-Marie, projet fusionnant jazz et bèlè, qui les emmèneront en Italie (Bari in Jazz), en France (New Morning, Festival C’est Pas du Jazz, La Bellevilloise), et en Martinique (Habitation Fond St Jacques).

En 2011, c’est le pianiste martiniquais Éric Ildefonse qui fait appel à lui pour enregistrer son album, aux côtés de Luther François, Felipe Cabrera et Chander Sardjoe, s’en suivront des concerts dans la Caraïbe (Martinique Jazz Festival, Lamentin Jazz Project, Nuits Noires à Cayenne) et une collaboration remarquée avec les maîtres du Tabla et du Sitar indien Nantha Kumar et Subrata De.

En 2013, il enregistre Jazz Bèlè Philosophy, du trompettiste guadeloupéen Franck Nicolas en compagnie de Mario Canonge, Michel Alibo, Magic Malik, Grégory Privat, Tilo Bertholo, avec qui, il se produit en France (Sunset Sunside, Le Jam) et en Martinique (Biguine Jazz Festival). Il crée à la même période deux nouveaux projets qui mélangent bèlè, électro et musique classique. Le Trio Electropikal Roots Culture et le Duo Empreinte Digital sont présentés au Trianon Transatlantique dans une soirée consacrée à la francophonie.

Par la suite, il collaborera avec Éric Pédurand, Alain Jean-Marie, Jean-Claude Montredon, Sonny Troupé, Dédé St Prix, Arnaud Dolmen, Yann Cléry, et participera au projet Concept Bèlè au New Morning et au Triton avec Gaby Azérot et Philippe Cantinol.

Parallèlement, ses travaux ethnomusicologiques et pédagogiques entrepris depuis 15 ans aboutiront en 2011 à l’obtention d’un Certificat d’Aptitude à enseigner la musique traditionnelle en conservatoire, et à la labellisation par le Ministère de la Culture du spectacle pluridisciplinaire Témoignage Hommage Voyage.

En février 2020, entre conférences, master-class et cours au CEFEDEM de Normandie, il sort son premier album Lanzdifou (Aztec Musique). Dans cet opus, jazz, blues, afrobeat et percussions caribéennes sont la base d’un nouveau genre qu’il baptisera Afrobeat Caraïbe.

A l’aise, aussi bien sur les scènes Jazz (Jazz à Vienne, Europa Jazz) que les scènes World (Festival Mozaik du Havre, Ville des Musiques du Monde, Le 360 Paris Music Factory), Philo s’apprête à conquérir le monde.

The influence of Queen Margaret of Austria at the Spanish Court

Philip III of Spain still retains the reputation of a weak, dim-witted monarch who preferred hunting and travelling to governing and therefore turned over the reins of power to his royal favorite, the Duke of Lerma. Despite the attempts of biographers and eulogists to deny that Margaret of Austria exercised a political voice at her husband’s court, and despite chroniclers’ negative assessments of the impact of the queen’s advice, Margaret of Austria did succeed in voicing her opinions and winning the ear and the support of Philip III.

Venetian ambassadors noted the queen’s interest in political matters and her desire to have a say in the making of decisions. Ottaviano Bon, reported in 1602 that Queen Margaret of Austria “is capable of great things, so much so that she would govern if she could in a manner different from that of the King.” In fact, Bon implied that the queen’s political intuition was sounder than her husband’s. Francesco Soranzo reported that Philip III loved his queen very dearly. Soranzo described Margaret of Austria as “astute and very skillful in securing the King’s love ... she wants to be respected and known as queen.” Although Soranzo implied that Margaret of Austria was an intelligent and resourceful queen, he added that she “likes to have others think that she has great authority with the king, but she does not have it except in petitions of little importance.”

According to Soranzo, the Duke of Lerma watched the queen and ensured that she had little influence with the king. Ottaviano Bon, who noted Margaret of Austria’s political acumen, also reported that she was “controlled by the Duchess of Lerma and the Duke her husband ... and the king has greater estimation of them than of her in many things, which makes her reticent, melancholic, and without any authority.” The more frequent references to Margaret of Austria center around her unhappiness at the court, an unhappiness brought on by the Duke of Lerma’s influence over Philip III. Hans Khevenhüller, the imperial ambassador in Madrid, detailed a conversation he had with the queen in which Margaret of Austria expressed her discontent with the Spanish court. She had told him that she would “much rather be a nun in a convent in Goricia (Styria) than Queen of Spain.”

The Duke of Lerma had gone so far as to interfere in the private moments that the king and queen shared by instructing her not to speak about political matters with the king at any time, and especially not in her moments alone at night with Philip III. To ensure the queen’s compliance, Lerma threatened to arrange trips for Philip III that would leave Queen Margaret alone in Madrid. He also threatened to remove María Sidonia, the queen’s lady-in-waiting and closest friend, from the court. In an entry from 1601, the chronicler Luis Cabrera de Córdoba noted that the queen was ill and that the illness was a result of her displeasure with the king’s absence and the attempt to control her servants. Margaret of Austria’s illness did cause Philip III to return to the royal palace and remain with her until her health improved.

Lerma’s efforts to remove María Sidonia from the court failed, as did his attempts to send the queen’s Jesuit confessor, Richard Haller, back to Central Europe. Lerma also did not succeed in silencing the queen. In fact, Margaret of Austria questioned Lerma’s political and financial policies, and went so far as to warn Philip III that the Junta de Desempeño, set up by Lerma in 1603 to improve the monarchy’s financial situation, had only worsened Spain’s economic problems. 

Queen Margaret consistenly sought to negotiate favourable marriages for her sisters, and successfully arranged for them to marry important princes. She defended the interests of her Austrian Habsburg relatives at the Spanish court. Khevenhüller employed the queen’s influence on numerous occasions. Margaret was particularly successful in getting Spanish aid for her brother, Archduke Ferdinand. She convinced Philip III to give him a monthly stipend of 5000 ducats. The king listened to her requests and to her comments. Philip III had an “affectionate, close relationship” with Margaret, and paid her additional attention after she bore him a son in 1605, the future Philip IV. 

Queen Margaret was also a great patroness of the arts, who dedicated her life to pious foundations and charitable works. As well as her husband receiving many gifts of important paintings, Margaret also benefitted. She received works by Jacopo da Empoli, Alessandro and Cristofano Allori and Domenico Passignano, as well as a magnificent painting by Federico Barocci, all from Florence. Margaret of Austria also encouraged Philip IlI’s tendencies toward piety and religious devotion. During her lifelime, the queen maintained close relationships with several religious individuals. 

Queen Margaret died while giving birth to her youngest child in 1611. When she died at the age of twenty-six, rumors abounded that she had been poisoned by the Duke of Lerma’s close associate, Rodrigo Calderón, whom the queen had criticized openly. Numerous Spaniards bemoaned the great loss Margaret’s death meant for the Spanish kingdoms; there were even those who claimed that Margaret of Austria had died a martyr. Her husband never remarried and died ten years later.

Cuba: A escobazos agreden a los hermanos Leyva en plena vía pública (+VIDEOS)

Los activistas cubanos Ada Iris Miranda Leyva y Fidel Manuel Batista Leyva, fueron agredidos de forma violenta por un grupo de represores, acusados de ser “chivatos” de la Seguridad del Estado. Con una escoba se ve cómo una mujer arremete repetidamente a los activistas, mientras desde una ventana toda la escena quedaba grabada.

Los agresores fueron identificados por opositores en la isla como Daylan Cabrera, Oscar Ramírez y Elia González Peña, todos acusados por los activistas de ser “represores chivatos de los grupos de respuesta rápida”, residentes de la calle. En su página de Facebook, la activista cubana Ada Iris Miranda Leyva, compartió detalles sobre lo ocurrido, asegurando que:

“Estas escorias pandilleras comunistas están dirigidas y protegidas por los esbirros asesinos de la seguridad del estado y el MININT (Ministerio del Interior)”. Los Leyva habían salido para comprar agua según refirieron en redes sociales.

Además asegura la activista opositora cubana que otros represores participaron en la agresión identificados por Leyva como: Roxana Martínez Torres (hermana de la represora Lizania Bermúdez Torres), Anna Karine Rodríguez Martínez, Mario Osorio Silva, Yoel Cruz Rodríguez, Yunior Mojena Vega, Virginia Celestina Ladrón de Guevara Cruz (presidente del infame CDR), Carmen Sánchez Recio (delegada de circunscripción) y su hijo, Pedro Bermúdez Ávila, Yadira Rodríguez Font, Yosvani Córdova Guillén, Luis Pablo Suárez Ladrón de Guevara, Magda Lianys González Almaguer, Olga Lidia Ladrón de Guevara Cruz (madre del represor Onier Íñiguez Ladrón de Guevara), Luis Alberto Carballosa Pelegrino (padre del represor Luis Alexis Carballosa Saavedra), Fidel Raúl Hornia Miranda, Alexis Pérez Rodríguez.

“Responsabilizamos por la Vida, Libertad e Integridad Física y Moral de nuestra familia al dictador asesino Raúl Castro, su testaferro Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez, los esbirros de la seguridad del estado, el MININT, la policía, las FAR y los violentos grupos de respuesta rápida” dijo la activista.

Agresiones y repudio contra la familia cubana por opositora al régimen

Durante el mes de junio, la familia denunció haber sido víctimas de varias agresiones por los denominados grupos de “respuesta rápida” del régimen cubano, que suelen agredir a los opositores cubanos mediante actos de repudio, ofensas, amenazas e inclusive arremetidas contra sus viviendas.

«Nos mandaron a salir de la vivienda y nos sujetaron para que nos dieran golpes el grupo de respuesta rápida. Uno de ellos, llamado Oscar Ramírez González, esposo de Dailen Cabrera traía un cuchillo escondido en la espalda e intentó apuñalar a mi hermano Fidel Manuel Batista Leyva aprovechando que un policía lo tenía llaveado», aseguró Ana Iris durante el pasado mes de junio.

Cualquier miembro de la familia opositora puede ser objeto de estas agresiones, según ha referido la cubana, quien ha sido atacada en diferentes ocasiones, cuando se dispone a salir de su vivienda, e inclusive han amenazado a la cubana con quitarle a sus hijos.
