I ran into a flock of geese on my walk to the World Arena for my volunteer shift this morning. Also I’m the worst at taking and sharing photos, especially while on vacation. Sorry. I love Colorado Springs. #WorldArena #ColoradoSprings #FourContinents https://www.instagram.com/p/CobExi7rcdq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trieste (Venezia Giulia). Piazza Grande. Fountain of the Four Continents and in the background the government building and Palazzo Stratti. The fountain (1751) symbolizes the Fortuna of Trieste, a free port with Charles VI and Maria Teresa of Austria. Different allegorical figures characterize it. Vaguely shaped like a cornucopia, it has four statues representing Asia, Europe, Africa and America, tracing its ethnic characteristics. Another 4 figures represent rivers, whose water flows from the mouth of four dolphins in the fountains. At the top is a woman lying on the rocks and surrounded by symbols of flourishing activity. The government palace (1901) is the last building of the square, in opulent Art Nouveau style, on the ruins of the Palazzo del Capitano built by Maria Teresa in 1764. Palazzo Stratti (1839), also quite elaborate, has several sculptural groups The sculptures represent progress, commerce, navigation, art and industry. The central female figure represents Trieste with symbols of modernity and wealth. On the ground floor is the Caffè degli Specchi, founded in 1839, a meeting place for writers and artists. #trieste #piazzagrande #veneziagiulia #square #mariateresa #allegorical #building #cornucopia #dolphins #govern #palace #flourishing #fountain #fourcontinents #progress #caffedeglispecchi #stories #travel #traveling #instatravel #travelling #tourism #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #igtravel #massimopistis #sovVERSIvi #ilmiolibro

Dress, 1725–40 Remarkable for its highly original ornamentation, which combines #chinoiserie imagery and allegorical figures of the #FourContinents, this #casaquin (jacket-bodice) and petticoat is a singular example of eighteenth century woman's dress. 🌼 The execution of the embroidery in wool rather than in silk is also rare. Fantastic birds, pagodas, and exotic flowers are familiar elements of the chinoiseries style of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, but the interpretation of the Four Continents as jesterlike figures is atypical and shows the influence of the #grotesques of the seventeenth-century designer Jean Berain. 🌼 Although the large shaded flowers correspond to those in woven dress silks of the 1730s, the #embroidery overall is more closely related to that seen in furnishing textiles. 🌼 The exuberant and vividly colored motifs are displayed to advantage by the flowing lines of the casaquin and the rounded petticoat. 🌼 This type of two-piece dress, derived from a working-class costume, was adopted as fashionable informal wear in the 1720s. 🌼 Wealthy women would have worn the petticoat over a #pannier to create the desirable contemporary silhouette. 🌼 The exceptional nature of the embroidery on this particular costume suggests that it was intended to be worn for a special occasion. #history #museumcollection #antiquetextile #instamuseum #museumoninstagram #antiquesilk #historicaldress #costumehistory #fashion #historicalfashion #historicalclothing #dresshistory #fashionhistory #historicalcostume #fashionhistorian #18thcentury #18thcenturyfashion Source: The MET https://www.instagram.com/p/BzodmZsAJYa/?igshid=m8fkp1brutpo

(Music): Ammoye - ‘As Long as You Love Me’

Listen on RadioVideo

Even in a world of musical anomalies, Ammoye is that rarest of things: a powerful female singer/songwriter in reggae, a genre that makes prevailingly male hip-hop seem wildly progressive by comparison.

If Ammoye’s story started and ended there, it would be riveting. That her life and by extension, her dazzling original music and unerringly upbeat worldview is the outcome of tremendous victory over adversity makes Ammoye a performer who both inspires and entertains.

“It’s imperative that feminine energy be represented in reggae,” Ammoye confirms. “We have a voice and we need to be heard just as much as males. It's very important. The imbalance is unfortunate and I am determined to change it.”

Only a fool would bet against her. Yet Ammoye — four times nominated for a Juno Award and the winner of the 2015 Reggae Exclusive Recognition Awards who counts musical greats Ziggy Marley, Freddie McGregor, Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Sly Dunbar and Steven "Lenky" Marsden among her contemporaries — is too versatile to rest in one category.

Indeed,asthesingermakesclearonherextraordinaryandsprawlingnewalbum,T​ heLight​whichincludes the thoroughly irresistible, keyboard-goosed smash “Sorry,” Ammoye is as comfortable singing dancehall, gospel, soul, and R&B as she is soaring above an ace reggae groove. Need a solid dose of sunshine and positivity?SimplylookintoT​ heLight​.

“I wouldn't wish the struggles in my life on anybody,” Ammoye says with disarming candour, recalling her upbringing in small-town Jamaica where she and her two siblings lived with her large extended family on very limited means.

“Because of the foundation laid by my grandmother, who raised us with my grandfather when my mom relocated to Canada to improve her life, I was able to endure and to overcome allobstacles. I refused to be a victim and I used all the bad experiences I went through to push myself harder to become more and greater than any of my circumstances.

“My grandmother taught me to trust my inner voice,” Ammoye adds, “and it has been my saving grace over all my conscious years so far.”

OnT​ heLight​,slice-of-lifetracksliketheslow-churning“Don’tCountMeOut”andthevaguelypsychedelic “Guns Off The Street” vividly document some of the travails that dogged Ammoye’s early years, including (but not limited to) violence, poverty, and political turf wars.

But it’s also clear that Ammoye — who lists Lauryn Hill, Grace Jones, Sade, Tina Turner, and Erykah Badu as kindred spirits — sculpted hardship into strength, unearthing the constructive from the destructive and using music to reflect it all. As such, it’s impossible to hear ​The Light​ and not feel electrified. “I work harder now for everything I want to accomplish because of all that I've been through,” she says. “I know not to take anything for granted because a lot of people simply don't have the opportunities that I have now.”

In addition to family, Ammoye found strength and solace singing in her local church choir in hometown Clarendon, Jamaica. After choir practice, she would regale the neighbourhood with her latest songs and poems from the top of the mango tree in her backyard.

In her late teens, reuniting with her mother brought Ammoye to Toronto. She quickly established herself in the community by forming the Sisters in Christ church group and the Voices of the Underground Artist movement, leading to further involvement and collaborations in Toronto’s vibrant music scene. Over the past several years, Ammoye has been consistently performing at high-profile events and festivals around the world, including the 150,000-attendee EXIT festival in Serbia.

The opportunity to sing at major festivals and shows on fourcontinents has afforded Ammoye the blessing of sharing the stage with before-mentioned marquee artists as well as with Chronixx, Romain Virgo, Chris Martin, Tarrus Riley, Barrington Levy, and fellow Toronto-based Jamaican transplant Exco Levi,to just name a few.

The 2017 Juno nomination for the hit “Sorry” (she was also nominated in 2013 and 2014) came on the heelsofAmmoye’sofficiallyreleaseddebutmixtapeE​ ntertheWarriorress​whichshowcasedaneclectic mix of new and unreleased tracks, compiled with Kingston production powerhouse Natural High Music. ThispeekintoAmmoye’sheartandsoulwasjustatasteofwhatisrevealedonT​ heLight​whichfeatures collaborations with top Jamaican reggae talent including legends Sly Dunbar and Lenky Marsden, acclaimed songwriter Mikey Bennett, and Donovan Germain of Penthouse Records and Natural High Music.

Ammoye’s formative years are never far from her music. “After doing our homework and after church on Sundays, my grandmother would allow us to watch our little black and white TV. I’d daydream about how I wanted to sing my songs like the people in these musicals we were watching.

“After the shows, I would run down to the backyard and climb up the mango tree and make up songs I was hearing in my head, then sing them out to the birds and animals. I couldn't wait to grow up and show my grandmother all that I was intending to do with my life.”

And while Ammoye’s grandmother sadly succumbed to cancer at age 61, her influence on her enormously talented granddaughter lives on.

“Forme,T​ heLight​isacalltoaction,”Ammoyesays.“Myintentistotravelacrosstheglobespreadingmy light through my music and bringing awareness that it's OK to change things up and do things differently, to see each other differently, and to come from a place of love and understanding without judgment. “That's the message and energy I want people to take away from my album. If that happens, then it’s a success.”

Trieste (Venezia Giulia). Piazza Grande (formerly St. Peter, now of Unity). I could understand Trieste and its enthusiasm in changing the name of this square, because of feeling foreign under the Habsburg Empire, but recalls a unity never existed, a non-existent state, a tyrannical power - at least for us Sardinians, from which, however, had the first name and the royal title. Architecturally, the square (more than 12,000 square meters) is remarkable, a special glance. On it, the building of the Municipality of Trieste (called Cheba - cage) faces the sea, on the Audace pier, a palace that is sadly known because the racial laws of the dictator Mussolini were announced from its balcony. Then, clockwise: the Palazzo del Governo (Prefecture), Palazzo Stratti, Palazzo Modello, and opposite, the Pitteri Palace (Plenario), the Hotel duchi d'Aosta, the Region. At the center of the square, moved towards the Town Hall, stands the fountain of the Four Continents, at whose side stands the column that at the top leads Charles VI of Austria. Each building and monument has its own particularities, which would be too long to explain here, but everyone deserves a deepening, especially the fountain. #trieste #piazzagrande #veneziagiulia #square #habsburg #remarkable #municipality #building #thecage #audace #governopalace #palazzomodello #townhall #fountain #fourcontinents #history #stories #travel #traveling #instatravel #travelling #tourism #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #igtravel #massimopistis #sovVERSIvi #ilmiolibro
