LOLLA NEWS: ARGENTINA SIDESHOWS, WHEN AND WHERE!

By Cata Greloni Pierri

Interpol, Troye Sivan and Years & Years will have their own side shows at Vorterix Theatre and Niceto Club before the three-day festival at San Isidro Racecourse.

The news was revealed yesterday and social media popped. Lollapalooza Argentina confirmed the sideshows that will be part of the festival and today we tell you which are the groups that will have an extra show during their stay in Buenos Aires for Lollapalooza which will take place from March 29th to 31th.

On March 27th the British Years & Years will head the opening day with their show at Niceto Club; Interpol will play the following day, on March 28th, at Vorterix Theatre, and Troye Sivan will do their part at Niceto Club. But, who are these boys?

Five years have passed between their debut album, Communion, and Palo Santo, the album they rehearsed this year. The frontman, who combines an eighties-like synth pop with electronic beats electrónicos, and Olly Alexander’s powerful voice -apart from a great dancer-, lead this British band to success. We are sure they will give a great show in Palermo to dance and shout all night long. But your tickets now because… #teenalert

South African musician and TV, theatre and film actor Troye Sivan will be next to play. He is just 23, but he is at the peak of his music career. Bloom is his latest album and which led him to win a place among “best year albums” lists of some specialized media. The young artist is also nominated as Best New Artist for Grammy and he already has two pop hits: 1999, ft Charli XCX, with a party and nostalgic video, and another one ft Ariana Grande, called Dance To This.

For pre nineties audience there will be some New Yorker post punk. Interpol will play at Vorterix Theatre now that they are at the top of their career. They have just launched their sixth studio album, Marauder. The group was created in 1997 at NYU (New York University) and their singer, Paul Banks, also has a powerful voice, but his is more gloomy and resounding than Alexander’s.

For those who want to listen to their sound, “Evil”, “Slow Hands” and “Lights” are some of the songs that will have us jumping at Colegiales Theatre. Post-rock guitar sound of Banks and Daniel Kessler can be easily recognized and thanks to their  long song book they have sold million of albums and shows all around the world for two decades.

Lelé Tinelli: “I’m not interested in being liked by everyone”

By Leandro Infante

People feel they know her since she was born. She grew up in the limelight, and since she left her parents home and started living freely, she has always stood out. She grew surrounded by art, animals, and nature and now she is creating her own singer style. Just some month after launching her solo career, Lelé talked with Le Banana:

This year you work hard both with Madness Clothing and with your music career, what did you enjoy the most of all this process?

I really enjoy my job. Both things are amazing and I feel I’m blessed to have the chance of doing what I love. I love my clothing brand, I love playing, creating, and developing different things. Music is beautiful and I am happy with this project; I have enjoyed every single thing I’ve been gone through and I feel overjoyed when find myself writing and singing my own songs -in spite of my fears that of course are always there but that I try to overcome.

Madness could create a solid community through social media, hashtags, and powerful images. What do you like the most of this brand?

In Madness we are all women, it is a group of young powerful women who are eager to create and carry our message. I enjoy everything, since the process of creating the photos and the looks to the moment of IG content creation. We plan and create everything together. It is great.

You have just launched “I”, the first single of your album. How do you feel now that you are showing your music to so many people?

It was a shock because I felt that song like a birth. I gave a lot of my inner self in that process. I was fearful, I was nervous, but above all, I felt sheer happiness. I love this song and I love listening to people singing it and seeing that now it belongs to everyone.

And next year you’ll perform at Lollapalooza Argentina, how do you feel about that? Which are your dreams about the show?

I am still in shock! I am very excited about it! It is something new and it is an honor for me to be there sharing something so personal as my music. We will give everything on stage!

You have always been into creative things: first, painting; then fashion, and now music. Have you thought about gathering together all your passions in one project some time?

Yes. They are all related at some point and it would be great to do something that include them all.

What made you share some weeks ago your anorexia and bulimia issues with your more than 3 million followers?

It was something that came deep from my heart. I think it is good to share this kind of things. Even more if it is something that can help others. After sharing my experience, I saw that other women also shared their stories problems, I think we have to talk about our fears and issues in order to cope with them.

You have a lot of fans and followers that always give you love through social media, but you also have some “haters”. How do you handle that?

I get on really well with my fans, who are now kind of friends. I feel people’s love and care. It’s everything okay with haters -laughters- I am not interested in being liked being liked by everyone.

You also have time for love. How are you when you are in love and what is what you enjoy the most about your relationship?

I fall in love easily. I am passionate and romantic. I love love and I love sharing life with a such a beautiful person as my boyfriend (Luca Bonomi, son of Kosiuko’s founders). I am happy, I have a lot of fun and we are having a great time together.

You have a unique style and you are always adding new trends and innovating with your outfits. What do you like the most about fashion?

I have fun playing, mixing and creating new things. Fashion is versatile and it can even show my mood and how I am feeling. But above all what I prioritize is being comfortable. Everything’s fair, we don’t have to stick to trends.

LB News: From Tokyo to New York, the Pre Fall Catwalks

By Leandro Infante 

Fashion Weeks have always have a strict calendar. They come one after the other twice a year. But trends and innovation appear more and more in the new calendars imposed by Pre Fall or Resort catwalks that show maisons ‘craftworks, such as Chanel Métiers D´Art. Today in Le Banana we’ll tell you what happened at the latest catwalks of French maisons Dior Homme and Chanel, and of Italian maison Versace.

Japan, Sporty and Tech for Dior

The front line was full of celebrities. At the catwalk, there stood a huge metal woman figure that reminded 80s science fiction films and there were hundreds of cherries, the typicaL fruit of Tokyo, the host city. That was the setting chosen by Kim Jones to launch his second collection for Dior Homme, after leaving Louis Vuitton Homme. There was a lot of fit tailoring, genderless items, techie and metal accessories, and many hints to extreme sports clothes.

 

Versace is 90s and Kimye

New York was the location chosen this year by Versace. Strange choice since the city recorded the lowest temperatures in years. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were the most important guests of the show in which Donatella Versace showed one more time her decision of going back to the brand’s baroque identity. This kind of Versace, the one of golden shirts, animal print and cut out dresses with golden pins is still alive. Leather, printed silks and gabardine were the brand’s favorite materials. Cut out in dresses and clips were shown in extra large sizes and all the outfits had a cool style that broke the brand’s typical formality with sneakers and belt pouches as the key items – as it has been seen in all trendy hype brands.

 

Tweet of Appreciation

ICONIC FINALE, WITH AMBER

French like Egypt

As Versace, Karl Lagerfeld chose New York to launch “Chanel Métiers d’art”, the annual catwalk in which the French Maison shows its mastery of the art of shoe making, jewelry and goldsmithing. Pyramids, goddesses, and queens such as Isis, Osiris and Nefertiti were the brand’s inspiration: they chose black and white kohl, and the models wore huge shoulder ornaments, delicate hand cut flowers, feathers dyed in gold, and impressive earrings and necklaces. The setting was the Metropolitan Museum of Art, one of he museums with the biggest Egyptian collection of the world. Style mixing such as printed denim jackets wore together with classic tweed or haute couture dresses was also seen; in that way, the brand showed a less formal style but at the same time kept Madame Cocó Chanel spirit.

Le Banana Highlights: Miami Art Week

By Pamela Aguirre Leonetti

A day after the end of Miami Art Week, in Le Banana we’ll share with you the highlights of this event that gathered the best of international contemporary art, and we’ll show you the artworks and installations that you must know.

Art Basel Miami Beach was again the most important fair of this great week that this year presented more that twenty exhibitions, talks, panels, and conferences.

This time, Art Basel displayed artworks of more than 200 international galleries. Gagosian Gallery, founded in 1979 in Nueva York, was one the event’s must sees, with works such as Ode to Love, by American artist Jeff Koons, and installations and artworks of other renowned artists such as Takashi Murakami, Georg Baselitz, Ellen Gallagher, and Andreas Gursky, among others.

French Gallery Perrotin art offer was also stunning. Italian artists Paola Pivi left the public speecheless with the artworks What goes round – art comes round, a collection of 24 rugs-sculptures of polar bears, and the exhibition Art with a View at The Bass museum, which includes an incredible series of life- size bears made of fluorescent feathers. Prices? 220 thousand euros each bear.

Cheim and Read, Franco Noero, Edward Tyler Nahem Gallery, and Lehman Maupin also presented memorable artworks. Positive Vibes, by Jack Pierson, was one of them. What is it about? A huge sign made of a mixture of typographies and pop colors. Jean Michel Basquiat was another highlights with the artwork called The Whole Livery Line, of 1987, valued at 2.600.000 euros. While South Korean artist Do Ho Suh art works were the star at Lehman. His sculptures made of steel, acrylic and polyester caught everybody’s attention and some were sold at more than 80000 euros.

Argentine gallery Ruth Benzacar was also remarkable with great works by Eduardo Basualdo, Tomás Saraceno, and Jorge Macchi, among others.

The B-side

Apart from Art Basel, Miami Art Week had other fairs, installations and events at the beach, museums, and convention centers. Among side fairs the highlights were Pinta, organized by Argentine art collectionist Diego Costa Peuser, and Untitled, where there were three Argentine galleries.

Tomás Saraceno was another revelation of the Week. He was represented by three galleries and he stood out with his beach installation “Albedo”, sponsored by luxury watches brand Audemars Piguet. The artwork, which seeks to raise awareness about Earth plight atmosphere, is a group of huge umbrellas that reflect sunlight and belongs to Saraceno’s multidisciplinary experiments in collaboration with Aerocene foundation.

One of the most stunning installations outside Art Basel was the one that Argentine artist Luna Paiva showed at Faena Beach: a golden fireplace back to the sea in front of a curtain and an empty chair -also golden- that stare at it. A powerful and poetic image.

And you? Which artwork did you like the most?

Who is Chiara Parravicini, the Ex-Disney Girl Who Will Soon Launch her First Solo Album!

By Leandro Infante

“Soy Luna”’s ex-actress is one of Argentine top influencers. She is just 22 years old but she has already conquered 2,4 mill followers with a mature and soft voice, while she is preparing her first solo album.  

Actress, singer and fashionista,  Chiara Parravicini (22) is much more than that. After leaving her role as Yam in Disney’s acclaimed series “Soy Luna”, she decided to make a career change to fully focus on music. In an exclusive interview with Le Banana, she tells us her secrets, her dreams, and the key aspects of her life nowadays.

– After three years in “Soy Luna”, you decided to step aside and focus on your career as a singer. Why did you make this decision?

I needed to make my music. I had hidden it for many years and I felt it was urgent to bring it to light. I had to decide between going on a tour all around Latin America for a whole year or staying to record and produce my album, and since I am so passionate about my art, it was not a difficult decision.  Singing leads me to another level and lets me experience something different. It is magical.

– How do you deal with changes, do they scare you or not?

Over the last few years, I have  learned that making plans is very difficult because life is full of changes. In my case, changes are always for the better.  

– How would you define your music style?

My music is very personal and it is difficult to label it.  I don’t want to be categorized as a singer of just one style or genre, I think that my inspiration comes from many styles.

– You work a lot, do you have time for love? How is Chiara when she is in love?

I think that falling in love is like singing. It raises you to another level and it’s like magic.  I know this although I haven’t had the chance yet of deeply falling in love with someone.

– If we talk about dressing, you are unique… you always choose vintage items and  accessories. How did you create this style?

I have always loved dressing differently.  I look for items that make me feel unique, I don’t want to seem as having been taken out from a fashion catalogue. My mom and some artists that I admire are my main inspiration when I choose what to wear and how to create my style.

– You were at Chanel fashion show and you made friends with Valentino’s creative director. How were those experiences?

Both experiences were surprising and awesome.  Pier Paolo Piccioli is lovely and also really creative. And Chanel’s fashion show  left my speechless.

– Do you have a Muse?

I am inspired by the seventies,  I love the magic and the refinement of this decade.

– Your skin is perfect. Which is your beauty routine and what do you advise to take care of it?

I love taking care of my skin, both body skin and, specially, facial skin. I protect my skin from sun and I follow a daily morning and night routine to take care of it. The products I use are recommended to me by my cosmetician and they are a secret.

– When making-up, you always choose a natural style. Which is your secret to have a fresh and gleaming make-up?  

I tried that the skin is never dry and I subtly add some shine to those places where light is naturally reflected.  Besides, I highlight the eyebrows and eyelashes, and I always moisturize the mouth.

– Which are the items that you always carry in your bag?

Lip balm, lipstick,earphones, chewing gum, and concealer.

– You have more than 2.5 mill followers in Instagram, a number that might generate some pressure. How do you handle it and what is your relationship with your followers?

I would like to start talking more with my followers through my stories, but I feel a little bit shy talking to a cellphone and that thousands of people then read it. That’s why I choose to upload silent content, except when I show myself singing.  

– What do you like to express in your social media?

My aesthetics and a part of who I am deep inside. After launching my album, I think that people will get to know me better. So I don’t care a lot if I don’t show my personality or my feelings through the cell phone.  

– If you had to recommend 5  Instagram accounts, which ones would you choose?

@digitalf33ls, @nitch, @lindamccartney, @cinespia y @architecturaldigest

– You always say that going on worldwide tours is a dream that came true. Now, which is the dream you are pursuing? Which are your projects for the future?

My dream now is filling those stadiums with my own show and being recognized by the artists I admire, all around the world. Being a movie or TV star would be also fantastic. In short, doing everything that I love.

Art Basel: A Door to see BA from a New Angle

Art Basel: A Door to see BA from a New Angle

By Pamela Aguirre Leonetti

A white and light-blue revolving door at the end of a wooden pier in the Río de Plata. On one side, the horizon. On the other, Puerto Madero skyscrapers. It is six o’ clock in the evening, the sun is setting among the clouds and the image is sheer poetry. It is the artwork Perspective of Absence, of Argentine artist Eduardo Basualdo, which can be visited until September 12 from 12 to 20 at the pier of Asociación Argentina de Pesca, at Puerto Madero.


Arriving there is not easy. It is a precarious wooden structure stretching 800 metres out into the river, where wind and water are strong. But it is worth the effort. It is, perhaps, the most poetic artwork of Art Basel Buenos Aires and it is, undoubtedly,the one we like the most.

Basualdo thought about the borders of the city to create the artwork and he chose this place because it is the farthest end of Buenos Aires; that is, he thinks, the best of this work. “We are a mix of land and water, the door is a symbol, a blurred limit that  allows us to contemplate the horizon but also brings us back to the shore”, he says at a talk at Asociación de Pescadores.

The door is the end, the last stanza of the poem. Along the way we find small installations, and when we reach the last part of the pier, a dark room left us without light so that we can see the door with surprise, full of eagerness, fancy and hope.

Le Banana Picks

We suggest that you visit Perspective of Absence at sunset, until September 12.


Before, 15 minutes away by car, you can visit the artwork Kermit the Frog, Even by Alex Da Corte. Ejerce? At Arenas Studios, Av. Don Pedro de Mendoza 965.

The best of it? To wait until the performers dressed in frog costumes appear and hold Kermit the frog as if it were a puppet on a string. If you go, don’t miss that moment! When? Until September 12, from 12 to 18.


Also at Arenas Studios but from 13 to 17, if you like contemporary dance, you can enjoy the performance Aggregate by Romanian artist Alexandra Pirici. 80 dancers dance and sing in a performance where movement repetition is at the center.
