La bossa-nova en deuil de baden powell. Une partie de la mémoire des «años dourados» (années dorées) de Rio a disparu avec Baden Powell.
C'était l'époque des cabarets de Lapa et de Copacabana, quand, au tournant des années 60, une bande de compositeurs et de musiciens (Baden Powell, João Gilberto, Tom Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes...) réinvente la musique et découvre la bossa-nova, rythme symbole d'une douceur de vivre à la brésilienne. Baden Powell commence alors sa carrière de «meilleur guitariste du monde», selon la Folha, quotidien de São Paulo. Il est l'auteur de plus de 600 musiques populaires comme Prelúdio, Samba da Benção, Tem Dó, Berimbau et Carta ao To, écrites avec Vinicius de Moraes, ou Lapinha, Quá-Quá-Rá-Quá-Quá, Aviso aos Navegantes, avec son complice Paulo Cesar Pinheiro.

The Auberge du Pont de Collonges, situated near the gastronomic capital of Lyon in south-east France, was the oldest three-starred restaurant in the world, having held the ranking without interruption since 1965. In a rare move, the Michelin boss, Gwendal Poullennec, visited the restaurant on Thursday to deliver the news that the rating had been lowered after 55 years. The decision prompted anger and dismay from Bocuse’s peers. Poullennec told France Inter radio: “I understand the team’s emotion. 24MEUR Cimabue artwork found in kitchen. France has blocked the export of a tiny early Renaissance masterpiece found in a French woman’s kitchen that fetched more than €24m (£20.5m) at auction and became the most expensive medieval painting ever sold.
Christ Mocked, by the 13th-century Florentine painter Cimabue, had hung for decades above a cooking hotplate in the kitchen of a 1960s house near Compiègne, north of Paris, before it was spotted by an auctioneer who had come to value furniture for a house move. But after the unsigned work was bought at auction in October by US-based private collectors, the French state this week classified the painting as a “national treasure” and refused it an export certificate. The move gives the French state 30 months to attempt to find funding to acquire the picture itself. New futuristic library in china.
