Guts annonce Philantropiques, un nouvel album dans la lignée de sa série Beach Diggin' Comme pour ses 4 albums précédents, Philantropiques sortira sur le label Heavenly Sweetness, le 29 mars prochain. Guts s’est d’abord imposé comme beatmaker pillier de la scène hip-hop française en taillant la bande-son d’Alliance Ethnik, de Big Red ou des Svinkels, avant de se lancer en solo sous le nom de Guts avec son premier album « Le Bienheureux » sorti en 2007. Porté par une volonté constante de se renouveler, il s’entoure aujourd’hui d’un nouveau live band.

Un virage qu’il nous présente avec « Mucagiami » un premier extrait d’inspiration angolaise, une semba à l’orchestration percussive et cuivrée dans laquelle s’exprime le chanteur oublié Manuel Rosário das Neves alias Vum Vum. Philantropiques est un album résolument afro-tropical où se rencontrent le jazz et le carimbó.

In the modern world, we communicate across borders. English is the closest thing we have to an international language.

Enliven Class Discussions With Gallery Walks Students routinely talking with each other should be a staple in classrooms. We know this as teachers.

They can do this in pairs or triads, and it only takes a few minutes.

BusyTeacher.org By making sure you use variety in your pronunciation lessons, your students will be more successful with English pronunciation and gain the confidence that comes with it. 1Listen and repeatThis will be the first and most common method of teaching sound specific pronunciation in English. You say the target sound and have your students repeat it after you. If you are teaching a long word with multiple syllables, start with the final syllable of the word and have your class repeat it.
