Yoshiki – Carnegie Hall – New York, NY – October 28, 2023

Yoshiki is a Japanese musician and composer. As the drummer, pianist, and founding member of the rock band, X Japan, he is no stranger to playing iconic stages around the world like Wembley Arena, Madison Square Garden and Coachella – just to name a few. Fresh off of the stage at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, Royal Albert Hall in London and the Garden Theater in Tokyo, Yoshiki’s Classical “REQUIEM” tour made its final stop at Carnegie Hall in New York City.  

The audience filed in one by one, some in costume as it was Halloween weekend and some in their finest attire. Soon enough the room was full, the lights were dimmed, the ushers let in some final stragglers and the performance began.

The show started with the orchestra alone playing a piece composed by Yoshiki before he took the stage. A short video was played after the first piece to give the audience a glimpse into Yoshiki’s life. It talked about how music had been a part of his life since he was a kid, what his relationship with his parents was like and what being the first Japanese artist to have his handprints and footprints in cement at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood meant to him.

He reflected on moments in his career when doctors told him he wouldn’t be able to play the drums again after getting surgery for severe damage done to his neck over the years and how he was able to overcome this and get back to drumming once again. 

With a smile on his face, Yoshiki then took the stage, and the audience welcomed him with open arms. The performance consisted mostly of pieces composed by Yoshiki where he was accompanied by individual vocalists and a full orchestra behind him. He also performed songs from X Japan’s discography, Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake where he was joined by a ballet dancer on stage, and even a drum solo.

Every person listened attentively and with great appreciation, you could feel the excitement buzzing in the room before he even took the stage and it only felt stronger when he began to play.  It was a beautiful night that felt like a true celebration of music and Yoshiki’s career to this point.

Récord sudamericano de Silvia Ortiz y notable nivel en el maratón de Valencia

Mientras el maratón de Valencia-Trinidad Alfonso se ha confirmado como uno de los principales del mundo, con su excepcional nivel de elite y sus 33 mil participantes en la línea de salida, este domingo 3 de diciembre, varios atletas sudamericanos cumplieron un excelente papel. Cayó el récord sudamericano femenino, por segunda vez en menos de tres meses, y también se mejoraron marcas nacionales. El  etíope Sisay Lemma encabezó la clasificación masculina con 2:01:48, constituyéndose así en el cuarto corredor en la historia que baja de las 2:02. En varios momentos pareció que iba a aproximarse al récord mundial, aunque declinó levemente en los últimos tramos. De todos modos, estableció el nuevo récord del circuito, mejorando por cinco segundos el que había fijado el año pasado el keniata Kelvim Kiptum, quien justamente en Chicago, hace pocas semanas, se apoderó del récord mundial con otro registro “estratosférico”. En total, 40 hombres corrieron por debajo de 2:10, lo que indica el nivel “super” de esta prueba. El mejor sudamericano fue el brasileño Daniel Ferreira do Nascimento, 33° con 2:08.40, aunque no pudo acercarse a su plusmarca (2:04:51) ni la mínima olímpica para París (2:08.10). El ecuatoriano Segundo Oswaldo Jami concretó una gran actuación con su 38° puesto en 2:09:05, estableciendo el nuevo récord para su país y convirtiéndose en el 18° corredor sudamericano en bajar de 2:10. Su registro lo ubica noveno en la tabla sudamericana permanente y mejora el tope nacional que Silvio Guerra había fijado en Chicago (19-10-97) con 2:09:49. Poco después llegó el recordman argentino Joaquín Arbe (41° con 2:10:03) y los otros sudamericanos en el top 100 fueron el peruano Ferdinand Cereceda (52° con 2:12:19), su compatriota Nelson Ito (69° con 2:15:41) y el brasileño Vagner da Silva Noronha (75° con 2:16:30). En damas, la etíope Workesh Degefa consiguió desborar a su compatriota y favorita Almaz Ayana para ganar en 2:15:51. Y la ecuatoriana Silvia Patricia Ortiz brilló con su marca de 2:24:50, que no solo representa el nuevo récord sudamericano, sino que también la clasifica por dos minutos (la mínima es 2:26:50) para los Juegos de París. El anterior récord sudamericano era de la colombiana Angie Orjuela con 2:25.35, logrado el pasado 24 de septiembre en Berlin. Ortiz había fijado el récod de su país en el maratón de Sevilla, en febrero, con 2:27.36, pero luego fue superado por su veterana compatriota Rosa Alva Chacha en Hamburgo (2:26:34). Ortiz –quien cuenta entre sus antecedentes con el título sudamericano de maratón 2021 en Asunción- participó en el reciente Mundial de Budapest, donde fue la mejor sudamericana del maratón (29ª. con 2:35:09). Ahora, en Valencia, 45 mujeres corrieron por debajo de 2:30, otro ejemplo de la calidad de la competición. La ecuatoriana Mary Zeneida Granja extendió la gran performance de los atletas de su país al bajar por primera vez de aquel  registro (fue 45ª con 2:29:30). Y luego se ubicaron: 48ª. Magaly Josefina García (Venezuela) 2:31:45, 51ª. Katherine Ruth Tisalema (Ecuador) 2:32:50, 55ª. Marcela Cristina Gómez (Argentina) 2:34:03, 60 Carmen Patricia Martínez (Paraguay) 2:36:44, 72ª. la debutante Graziella Zarri (Brasil) 2:42:48 y 77ª. Tania Chávez-Moser (Bolivia) 2:44:46. La marca de Magaly García constituye el nuevo récord de Venezuela, mejorando las 2:36:07 que había logrado el 19 de marzo en Caracas. La prueba masculina Dentro del elevado nivel, había expectativa por el debut del astro de las pistas, el ugandés Joshua Cheptegei, recordman mundial de 5.000 y 10 mil metros llanos, tricampeón mundial y campeón olímpico. Sólo pudo mantener el ritmo de los líderes hasta promediar la prueba, ya que luego declinó y terminó 37° con 2:08:59. Otro de los astros mundiales con presencia en Valencia fue esa leyenda etíope llamada Kenenisa Bekele quien, a sus 41 años, produjo notables 2:04:19 para obtener el cuarto puesto. Los nombres dominantes fueron sus compatriota Sisay Lemma y Dawit Wolde, y el keniata Kibiwott Kandie. Iban al frente hasta el km. 30 cuando Lemma consiguió desprenderse para recorrer en solitario –y pujando por los récords- en los últimos tramos. Se había largado con un clima ideal, de 6°C en la salida (subió hasta 9°C en la meta), humedad del 60% y vientos leves. Los parciales del grupo líder fueron 14:28 para los 5k, 28:55 para los 10, 43:03 para los 15 y 57:25 para los 20. El paso de ese grupo, con dos “pacemakers” y seis hombres en punta, fue de 1.00:35 en el medio maratón, lo que significaba 13 segundos por debajo del parcial de Kiptum en su récord mundial, aunque se sabe que el keniata tiene su fuerte en el segundo tramo. “Ya en el kilómetro 25 me di cuenta que el récord mundial sería muy difícil, por lo que me propuse ganar y mejorar la marca de Valencia” dijo Lemma. Recibió 75 mil euros de premio por su victoria y 30 mil euros de bonus por el récord de la prueba (también estaba previsto un super bonus de 250 mil euros por récord mundial). Lemma, quien cumplirá 33 años el próximo 12 de diciembre, tenía como mejor marca 2:03:36 desde Berlin 2019, cuando llegó tercero en la carrera ganada por Bekele con 2:01:41. Entre los principales antecedentes de Lemma también se cuenta cono su victoria en una “major” (Londres 2021 con 2:04:01) y terceros puestos en esa misma ciudad (2020 con 2:05:45) y Tokio (2020 con 2:04:51). España celebró el nuevo récord nacional de Tariku Novales, quien marcó 2:05:48 y ocupó el 11° puesto. Tariku nació en Etiopía, pero llegó a los seis años a España, donde fue adoptado por una familia (igualmente, ya como profesional y a sus 25 años, entrena regularmente en las altiplanicies etíopes). Ahora dejó atrás la plusmarca española que Ayad Lamdassem mantenía con 2:06:25.   El top 10 masculino 1          Sisay Lemma (Etiopía)         2:01:48 2          Alexander Mutiso (Kenia)   2:03:11 3          Dawit Wolde (Etiopía)          2:03:48 4          Kenenisa Bekele (Etopía)  2:04:19 5          Gabriel Geay (Tanzania)     2:04:33 6          Kibiwott Kandie (Kenia)     2:04:48 7          Chalu Deso (Etopía)                        2:05:14 8          Mohamed Esa Huseydin (K)          2:05:40 9          Medhi Frere (Francia)         2:05:43 10        Gasha Ayale  (Israel)                       2:05:46 La prueba femenina Las damas completaron una fiesta total para Etiopía ya que se concentró el duelo esperado entre Ayana (campeona olímpica de 10 mil metros en Rio 2016) y Degefa, con Gebrekidan manteniéndose entre ellas junto al km. 10 que pasaron en 32:02 y el medio maratón en 1:07.29, con un minuto de ventaja sobre la keniata Chepchirchir. Ayana trató de despegarse, pero Degefa –quien volvía a correr maratón después de cuatro años- no le perdió pisada. Y a los 33 km. Degefa se adelantó por primera vez, tomando una ventaja de cuatro segundos al paso de los 35 km (1:52:4). Allí Gebrekidan se había atrasado unos 50s. Degefa amplió su ventaja en los siguientes kilómetros y se convirtió en virtual ganadora por 40 kilómetros, ya que su margen había aumentado a 21 segundos. Cruzó la línea de meta muy por dentro de la barrera de los 2:16 gracias a una actuación de 2:15:51 que mejoró su mejor marca anterior de su carrera de 2:17:41 de 2019 y la llevó al séptimo lugar en la lista mundial femenina de todos los tiempos. Ayana también hizo su marca personal de 2:16:22, mientras que Gebrekidan completó el podio etíope en 2:17:59, 1:11 más rápido que su mejor marca anterior.     El récord del circuito es 2:14:57, logrado el año pasado por otra etíope, Amane Beriso. Al igual que entre los hombres, España contó aquí con un nuevo récord nacional, correspondiente a Maayoufi con su quinto puesto en 2:21:27. Es marroquí, pero el último año adoptó la nacionalidad española.

Ethiopia's Kitata sprints to London Marathon win as Kipchoge suffers rare defeat | More sports News

Ethiopia's Kitata sprints to London Marathon win as Kipchoge suffers rare defeat | More sports News

LONDON: Ethiopian Shura Kitata outsprinted Kenya’s Vincent Kipchumba to win a thrilling London Marathon on Sunday as a stunned world record holder Eliud Kipchoge faded late in the race to suffer his first defeat since 2013. In cold, wet conditions, 24-year-old Kitata edged clear in the final metres to win by one second over Kipchumba in a relatively slow two hours, 05.41 minutes. Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia was third in 2:5.35, with Kipchoge, the hot favourite, who in his last race a year ago became the only man to break the two hour mark for the distance, eighth in 2:06.49 having suffered cramp and a blocked ear. In the absence of injured Kenenisa Bekele, Kipchoge was widely expected to lift a fifth London crown but was never able to impose his usual speed in the relentless cold rain. He was in a pack who went through halfway in just under 63 minutes – very pedestrian in relation to his recent races, not least his official world record of 2:01.39 set in Berlin two years ago. Ethiopians Lemma and Tamirat Tola, both sporting woollen hats to stave off the cold, took up the running as the field began to realize that, perhaps, Kipchoge was struggling. They were right. The favourite, whose face never usually gives any indication of suffering, was showing the occasional grimace and he lacked his usual smoothness. At one point the leaders clocked a five minute mile, a virtual jog at elite level. Then, as never previously seen during his all-conquering career, Kipchoge, 35, broke, dropping back from a pack of six with just over three miles to go. As the pace eventually picked up it was down to three, shoulder to shoulder, as they entered The Mall in a finish more like an 800m race than a marathon. The tall Kipchumba looked as if he would do it as he edged ahead, but Kitata fought back magnificently to take the tape. Kitata, who finished second in London in 2018, thanked his missing compatriot for his victory. “Kenenisa Bekele was helping me for this race and he advised me how to run,” he said. “I trained for the same course, I am very happy to win.” Kipchoge had won 12 of his 13 previous marathons – the blip being a second place behind a then-world record in his second outing over the distance in Berlin in 2013. “I’m really disappointed, I had a problem with my right ear after it blocked, and then I really cramped and had problems with my hip from about the last 15 km,” he said. “It’s really cold but I don’t blame the conditions and I’m still there to come back again.” Earlier, Kenyan world record holder Brigid Kosgei was a comfortable winner of the women’s race in 2:18.58 as American Sara Hall produced a great finish to snatch second from Ruth Chepngetich. The races, originally postponed from April because of the COVID-19 pandemic, were run over almost 20 laps of a fenced-off course in a “controlled secure biosphere” around St James’s Park. Although there was no mass field this year, around 40,000 people are running the distance at venues of their choice through the day. They will receive official finisher’s medals and raise millions of pounds for charities hard hit by the cancellation of the April race.

Celebs Shower Tyler Perry With Love After His Studios’ Historic Grand Opening Weekend

Tyler Perry Studios held its grand opening over the weekend and celebs are showering him with love and praise for the big feat. Peep their reactions inside…

  Tyler Perry unveiled his state-of-the-art Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, which sit on 330-acres, inviting a slew of YBF celebs to share in the celebration over the weekend. And it’s a major deal. Tyler Perry Studios is considered one of the largest production studios in the country with 12 soundstages, 40 buildings on-site that are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and more than 200 acres of green space.

Not to mention, he’s the first African-American to own a studio without the backing of corporations or partners. Yeah, he did that. He’s providing a seat at the table like no other.

  Welcome to my table!! pic.twitter.com/fzvP3lTQQX

  A slew of A-listers were in the mix to celebrate Tyler’s huge accomplishment, including EGOT Whoopi Goldberg (who was honored during the gala), Spike Lee, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Taraji P. Henson, Viola Davis, Cecily Tyson, Halle Berry, Debbie Allen, Samuel L. Jackson, Phylicia Rashad, Usher, Ava DuVernay and TONS more.

Following the epic night, Tyler tried to express his emotions in a tweet:

  I’m a writer with no words for Saturday night. So if a picture is worth a thousand words then let them speak for me while I gather my emotions and try to process what happened on Saturday!! https://t.co/KAI2QGPmtz pic.twitter.com/SXBLEeqqV2

— Tyler Perry (@tylerperry) October 7, 2019

  He dedicated one of those soundstages to legendary actress Diahann Carroll, who passed away last Friday following a long bout with cancer. Tyler hopped on Instagram to pay tribute to the “Julia” actress, sharing how he had previously planned to pay tribute to the iconic actress before her passing.

”In less than 24 hours I was scheduled to dedicate a sound stage at my new studio to Diahann Carroll,” he wrote. “As I sat reviewing her video tribute, I got a request to call her daughter when she told me of her Mother’s passing. I did what I could to try and comfort her in this difficult time, but I know no words could soothe, however I prayed that it would."

He said Stage 5 in Tyler Perry Studios will forever hold the legacy Diahann Carroll left behind.

  And so did Hollywood titan Will Smith, who was accompanied by his wife Jada Pinkett Smith:

  Before wrapping up the monumental weekend, Tyler held CHURCH outside on his studio lawn. His girlfriend Gelila Bekele and their 4-year-old son Aman were also in the mix.

  Couldn’t close the weekend without Jesus meeting us on the lawn at the studio!! Having a full heart and a thankful soul to all that have prayed me all the way here. https://t.co/DbMSUNDaq1 pic.twitter.com/PFvHvQQsk9

                  @tylerperry you built the biggest studio in America, one that can fit all the other Hollywood studios combined and still have room to spare. You’ve also created a dream of hope and possibility for everyone to know that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can always do better when you’re aligned with the Divine. Thank you for the naming of the soundstages. I love mine. #GloryToGlory #ImagineThis

I am thankful for a fresh start! The past is OVER!! @tylerperry I am forever changed. I was sitting on the trolley as we were touring the grounds saying “wow, I’m here to witness this.” @tylerperrystudios sits on 330 acres, a former confederate army base. He bought it y’all!!

                  I wish I could post pictures from inside this spectacular studio, but we’ve been asked to refrain. I got to experience the dedication ceremonies with my sister @teraduvernay and it was beyond. A black man owns a studio lot larger and more modern than any studio lot in Hollywood. Fun Fact: The studio lots of Disney, Warner Bros, Paramount, Fox and Sony could fit inside Tyler Perry’s studio lot at the same time - and there would still be 60 acres to spare. Jaw dropping. And all on a former Confederate Army base. Our ancestors rejoice. Twelve soundstages. A 200,000 square foot office complex. A whole neighborhood of historic homes and facades for film shooting. Perfectly manicured hedges all around. And beautiful black people working at all levels. A stunning achievement that will echo through the generations. Words can’t express the pride. And the joy. Bravo, @tylerperry. Stunning to witness. History made.

Surrounded by my heroes, I watched Denzel, Queen Oprah, Spike, Whoopi, Sir Poitier, Will, Halle , Dame Cicely and our angels John Singleton and Diahann Carroll honored. The Armand de Brignac crashed against each soundstage as fireworks lit up the sky. Generations of blood, sweat and tears, success, excellence and brilliance. It makes me so proud, so full, I could not stop crying. Thank you my Virgo brother for so much love and passion put into every detail. My prayer today is that you will take it all in. You inspire me to dream even bigger.

                  Last night was surreal - Overwhelmed with pride for @tylerperry, creator of the first black-owned major film studio in our HISTORY. To have shared in this moment in some small way, standing beside the most iconic talent in celebration of his accomplishment, was an absolute honor that I will never forget. Last night Tyler dared us to dream a bigger dream for ourselves, and today I dare each of you to do the same!

I GAGGED when she said “Bev, I saw your feather (my @anthonymaxwell_ny hat has a very tall feather) throughout the service but I didn’t know it was you”! First off, in what universe would ANITA BAKER know who I am? I mean, come on son!!!! I had so many magical moments with ICONS this year, with them telling me they appreciate my work on my radio show & also telling it like it is on tv! The last quarter of this decade is dedicated to MOVING ON, climbing new heights, reaching, stretching!

Boygenius, Clairo, Dijon & Bartees Strange – Re:SET (Day 2) – Forest Hills Stadium – New York, NY – June 17, 2023

Re:SET made its debut this year as a three-day, 12-city traveling concert series with headliners each day’s headliners including boygenius, LCD Soundsystem and Steve Lacy. 

Kicking off Day two of the festival was Bartees Strange. He opened his set with a full band, playing songs like “Mulholland Dr.,” “About Today” (a cover from the band The National), and ending his set with the ever-so-electric “Boomer.” It was the perfect way to start the day. 

The second performer of the day was Dijon. His set included songs like “Big Mike’s” “Rodeo Clown” and “The Dress” (one of my personal favorites from his 2021 album Absolutely). A passionate performer from start to finish, Dijon captivated the crowd with his soulful voice.   

Next up was Clairo who played songs ranging from her very first EP, “diary 001” to her sophomore album, Sling. The wind and rain started to pick up halfway through Clairo’s set, but who wouldn’t want to dance to “Softly” in the rain. She didn’t miss a beat and neither did the audience. Ending her set with a song that has proven itself to be timeless even 4 years after its release (and very fitting for the month of June) “Bags” rang through the stadium, the sun was back out, and if you weren’t singing along before this, you certainly were now. 

Before boygenius took the stage, Tecumseh Ceaser, a member of the Matinecock Turkey clan, welcomed us onto Matinecock territory through a land acknowledgment and song. 

The crowd was buzzing and soon enough “The Boys Are Back In Town” blared through the speakers, which meant it was time for supergroup boygenius to take the stage. Beginning their set backstage with a camera pointed at them, the audience watched through the big screen on stage as popular singers and songwriters Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker sang “Without You Without Them” in perfect harmony.   

The trio made their way to the stage with the “$20” intro playing, fans were waving $20 bills in the air and the show was in full swing. Tears were shed, screams were loud and the fans that had waited hours and hours in line before the show did not hold back. 

They played fan favorites from their self-titled debut EP such as “Ketchum, ID” and “Me & My Dog,” songs from their latest album the record, and even an unreleased song called “Boyfriends” which naturally they dedicated to all the boyfriends in the crowd. Each member played a song from their own popular discographies as solo artists with the help of their bandmates. Fans sang along to Phoebe’s “Graceland Too,” Julien’s “Favor,” and Lucy’s “Please Stay.” 

There’s something about singing “always an angel, never a god” with thousands of other people that makes you feel like you’re on top of the world. Although Re:SET 2023 has come to an end, boygenius will be on the road in July and August and if they’re coming to a city near you, I would highly recommend checking them out this summer. 

Here’s to hoping Re:SET makes a return in 2024!

Maratón de Valencia, excepcional nivel y la presencia sudamericana

Varios atletas sudamericanos tomaron parte –y con buenas performances- de uno de los maratones que se han consolidado entre los más importantes del mundo: Valencia. Fue la 42ª. edición de la prueba española, este domingo 4 de diciembre y nuevamente con resultados asombrosos. En damas, la etíope Amane Beriso dio la sorpresa al superar a su compatriota (debutante en la distancia) Letesenteb Gidey, mientras que entre los hombres sí ganó alguien que hacía su aparición en la distancia, el keniata Kelvin Kiptum. Y lo hizo en 2h.01m.53s. que lo catapulta al tercer lugar del ránking mundial de la historia, solo precedido por esos colosos llamados Eliud Kipchoge (2h01m09s) y Kenenisa Bekele (2h01m41s). También Beriso fijó el tercer tiempo del historial femenino. Entre las damas, la peruana y recordwoman sudamericana Gladys Lucy Tejeda ocupó el 20° puesto y su marca de 2h.26m.26s. estuvo muy cerca de su registro (2h.25m.27s) logrado el pasado 20 de febrero en Sevilla. Otras atletas de nuestra región fueron la venezolana Egris Arias (54ª. con 2h.42m.39s) y la colombiana Diana Bejarano (154ª. con 2h.57m.47s.). En hombres, una nueva demostración de jerarquía del tres veces olímpico brasileño Paulo Roberto de Almeida Paula: a sus 43 años, todavía es capaz de correr en 2h.10m.20s (su marca personal es 2h09m51s, también conseguida a principios de temporada en Sevilla). Paulo ocupó el 26° puesto de la clasificación. Y su compatriota Samuel Souza do Nascimento terminó 44° con su mejor registro personal de 2h.14m.51s, mejorando en más de dos minutos el que había logrado cinco años atrás en el maratón de Buenos Aires (2h17m01s para el sexto lugar). La gran expectativa en esta carrera se concentraba en Gidey, campeona mundial de los 10 mil metros en Eugene y que trataba –en su debut- de unir la plusmarca mundial de maratón a las que ya había logrado en el medio maratón y, en pista, en los 5.000 y 10 mil metros llanos. Gidey arrancó con un ritmo tranquilo, pasando los 15 km. en 48m.03s. Sin embargo, al pasar el km. 30 ya estaba en “modo récord”, su parcial de 1h35m24s era cinco segundos mejor que el establecido por Kosgei en Chicago. La sorpresa fue que su compatriota Amane Beriso había resistido ese ritmo. Y poco antes del km. 35 consiguió despegarse de Gidey para marchar en solitario hacia la victoria femenina. Beriso, de 31 años, marcó 2h.14m.58s, siendo así la tercera dama del historial en bajar de 2h15m, precedida por las keniatas Brigit Kosgei (récord de 2h14m04s en Chicago 2019) y Ruth Chepngetich (2h14m18s, también en Chicago, el mes pasado). Beriso tenía como mejor antecedente una marca de 2h20m48s, seis años atrás en Dubai y desde entonces no había corrido por debajo de 2h22. Letesenbet Gidey terminó agotada para el 2° puesto en 2h.16m.49s. Su consuelo es que dicha marca constituye la quinta del historial femenino y la meojr para una debutante. Hasta ahora el debut más rápido correspondía  a otra etíope, Almaz Ayana, quien en octubre marcó 2h17m20s en Amsterdam. El podio femenino se completó con otra debutante, la keniata Sheila Chepkirui, quien marcó 2h17m29s. Es la primera vez que un maratón femeino hay siete mujeres por debajo de 2h19m. Chepkirui, de 31 años, venía precedida por importantes antecedentes en esta temporada de medio maratón como su registro de 1h04m36s en Ras Al Khaimah y su victoria en Berlin con 1h05m02s. “No puedo creer lo que logré hoy. Todo fue fantástico: el circuito, el clima, la multitud. Estoy encantada”, dijo la ganadora, Beriso. Entre los hombres, a la altura del km. 30 se habían despegado Kiptum, el etíope Tamirat Tola –campeón mundial y ganador de esta prueba el año pasado- y el tanzano Gabriel Geay. La serie de ataques del debutante Kiptum sólo fueron resistidos por Geay, pero luego aquel se alejó. Kiptum, de 23 años, cubrió el segundo tramo de la carrera en excepcional registro de 1h00m11s. Geay fue su escolta, llevando el récord de su país a 2h03m00s, mientras que otro debutante, el keniata Mutiso, se adelantó a Tola en los tramos finales y terminó en 2h03m29s. Tanto Kiptum como Mutiso tenían antecedentes importantes en medio maratón. EN el caso de Mutiso –quien reside en Japón- 57m59s desde hacía dos años en esta misma ciudad de Valencia. Geay, por su parte ha colocado a Tanzania en el mapa de las potencias del maratón y llegaba con un antecedente de 2h04m55s (Milan 2021) además del 7° puesto en el Mundial de Eugene. Para el atletismo español también hubo muchos motivos de satisfacción, además de contar con una de las mejores carreras del circuito mundial. En damas, Marta Galimany registró 2h.26m.14s, batiendo el récord nacional que ostentaba Ana Alonso desde 1995 (2h26m51s). Y entre los hombres, el joven Tariku Novales logró el 13° puesto con 2h07m18s, que constituye el cuarto registro del historial de su país.     Los top de Valencia 2022   Mujeres 1 Amane Beriso (ETH) 2:14:58 2 Letesenbet Gidey (ETH) 2:16:49 3 Sheila Chepkirui (KEN) 2:17:29 4 Tadu Teshome (ETH) 2:17:36 5 Fancy Chemutai (KEN) ) 2:18:11 6 Tiruye Mesfin (ETH) 2:18:47 7 Tigist Girma (ETH) 2:18:52 8 Etagegne Woldu (ETH) 2:20:03 9 Dolshi Tesfu (ETH) 2:20:40 10 Majida Maayouf (MAR) 2:21:01   Hombres 1 Kelvin Kiptum (KEN) 2:01:53 2 Gabriel Geay (TAN) 2:03:00 3 Alexander Mutiso (KEN) 2:03:29 4 Tamirat Tola (ETH) 2:03:40 5 Kaan Kigen Ozbilen ( TUR) 2:04:36 6 Chalu Deso (ETH) 2:04:56 7 Milkesa Mengesha (ETH) 2:05:29 8 Ronald Korir (KEN) 2:05:37 9 Philemon Kiplimo (KEN) 2:05: 44 10 Goitom Kifle (KEN) 2:06:09 Los ganadores del Maratón de Valencia en la última década Hombres - 2011 - Josgei Isaish Kipglat (KEN) - 2h07:59 - 2012 - Luka Kanda (KEN) - 2h08:14 - 2013 - Felix Kipemoi Keny (KEN) - 2h07:14 - 2014 - Jacob Kibet Kengador (KEN) - 2h08:39 - 2015 - John Nzau Mwangangi (KEN) - 2h06:13 - 2016 - Victor Kipchirchir (KEN) - 2h07:39 - 2017 - Sammy Kitwara (KEN) - 2h05:15 - 2018 - Leul Gebresilase (ETI) - 2h04:31 - 2019 - Kinde Atanaw Ayalew (ETI)- 2h03:51 - 2020 - Evans Chebet (KEN) - 2h03:00 - 2021 – Lawrence Cherono (KEN) – 2h.05:12 Mujeres - 2011 - Abo Jima (ETI) - 2h34:23 - 2012 - Birhane Dibaba Adegna (ETI) - 2h29:22 - 2013 - Azalech Masresha (ETI) - 2h27:01 - 2014 - Beata Naigambo (NAM) - 2h30:54 - 2015 - Beata Naigambo (NAM) - 2h26:57 - 2016 - Valary Jemeli Aiyabel (KEN) - 2h24:48 - 2017 - Aberu Zennebe (ETI) -2h26:17 - 2018 - Ashete Dido (ETI) - 2h21:14 - 2019 - Roza Dereje (ETI) - 2h18:30 - 2020 - Peres Jepchirchir (KEN) - 2h17:16 - 2021 – Nancy Jelagaat (KEN) 2h.19:31 Algunas de las cantidades más significativas de la prueba: 1.- Récord con 30.000 inscriptos.

Tori Kelly – Bowery Ballroom – New York, NY – September 11, 2023

Tori Kelly is back and better than ever! Following the release of her most recent project, tori, Kelly hit the road on an eight-city tour with New York City and The Bowery Ballroom as stop number two. 

The room was filled to the brim with fans anxiously awaiting Kelly’s entrance. There were no support acts making this a true evening with Tori Kelly. Her setlist included songs from her latest project, original fan favorites like “Should’ve Been Us,” “Dear No One,” “Nobody Love” and many more. Kelly brought an amazing energy to the stage and the crowd was not disappointed as they knew every single word. 

Kelly is a true talent with a voice that fills the room through power and control. I’m sure everyone in attendance was aware of just how incredible she is before the show, but even so, every single person in the room was in awe of her performance. Including one of Kelly’s most recent collaborators, Jon Bellion. Her live show is one that should not be missed. I’m so excited for what’s to come with Kelly as she explores the pop and R&B genres and continues to grace us with her art.
