MARADONA-KUSTURICA

Recientemente se presento en Cannes el documental "Maradona", la primera pelicula que habla sobre todos los aspectos de la vida del "Pibe de Oro". Dirigido por Emir Kusturica, el docu muestra a "los tres Maradonas" que Kusturica descubrio mientras filmaba: el maestro de futbol, el ciudadano incorrecto que esta en contra de las politicas de EU y el hombre de familia. El soundtrack fue compuesto por Stribor Kusturica. Emir Kusturica queria usar la cancion de la Mano Negra "Santa Maradona", pero Manu Chao le pidio a Kusturica hacer una rola nueva y asi fue como surgio "La Vida Tombola". Futbol, futbol, futbol...

The soundtrack was composed by Stribor Kusturica. Emir Kusturica planned to use the Mano Negra's song "Santa Maradona" but Manu Chao asked Kusturica to give him the chance to compose a new song and that's how he became with "La Vida Tombola".

OS GEMEOS FROM BRASIL ADD COLOR TO THE TATE

We had the chance to see the facade of the Tate Modern Gallery under six killer street art pieces as part of the Street Art at Tate Modern exhibition
Street Art at Tate Modern exhibition which runs until August 25. Os Gemeos, the brasilian graffiti artists from Sao Paulo were part of this project. Os Gemeos like to paint for the people who live on the streets, much of their work they reflect indigenous characters, celebrating Brasil's cultural diversity, their work also focuses on globalisation and its effects on a Brasilian society.

Some other artists invited to contribute on the Tate project are Blu from Bologna, the collective Faile from NY, JR from Paris ans Sixeart from Barcelona.

Here is the facade of the Tate and some work from Os Gemeos.

CULTURE KINGS

A couple of months ago Spot magazine, a lifestyle magazine based in Mexico, D.F. asked us to collaborate in the Urban/Street issue. We created a story about one of Miami's most urban boutiques: Culture Kings. CK is located in the Miami Design District and was founded by a local dude called Chris Oh. Here you can find a cool collection of sneakers, limited editions, vintage models and recent models too. Besides sneakers, they have music, clothes and art from local artists such as Arnold Steiner a.k.a. AS1. Here are some pics from that issue.
