Germany’s top skating pair comes to Bucharest


Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy, Germany’s best award-winning artistic skating pair, will be part in the ‘Kings on Ice – Olympic Tour 2010’ show in Bucharest on April 11, alongside current European champion Evgeni Plushenko and European vice champion Stephane Lambiel. The performance on Mihai Flamaropol skating rink will bring together the most representative figures of artistic skating, against a musical backdrop provided by famous violinist Edvin Marton. After winning the silver medal in the European Artistic Skating Championship last month in Tallinn, Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy will also join a group of highly acclaimed skating champions. The championship in Estonia once again brought Savchenko and Szolkowy back in the public’s attention, with the pair winning the silver medal with a record score of 211.72, just 1.43 points below the pair that won the first place. The two made history in Germany by being the first pair that won two consecutive titles at the World Artistic Skating Championship (2008 and 2009) in the last 11 years, being at the same time also the first skaters that obtained the top mark from the jury of the International Skating Union. The tickets have the following prices: RON 120, 180, 250, 350 and RON 400. They can be bought online from myticket.ro and from the Diverta stores.


Cuba’s “superabuelos” take over Netherlands before Bucharest
performance


The members of the ‘Live From Buena Vista: The Havana Lounge’ orchestra are warming up by taking a small tour through the most important cities in the Netherlands ahead of giving their last demonstration of authentic Cuban music in Bucharest. One of their shows was given on a stage that was the ‘preferred’ stage of the world’s rock legends: U2, Rolling Stones or Pink Floyd. Part of the World Music Masters series, the show scheduled on February 12 within Bucharest’s Palace Hall, will reunite on the same stage the elite of Cuban music, featuring the charismatic ‘superabuelos’ Teresa Garcia Caturla and Julio Alberto Fernandez. After taking their music beyond their country’s borders and winning millions of fans all over the world with the energy and warmth of Cuban rhythms, ‘Live From Buena Vista: The Havana Lounge’ returns to Netherlands, one of its favorite countries, with a series of ten exceptional shows given on the country’s largest stages in Amsterdam, Roermond, Uden, Nijmegen, Eindhoven, Scheveningen, Rotterdam, Zwolle, Leiden and Apeldorn. The ‘Live From Buena Vista: The Havana Lounge’ tournament started in the Netherlands on January 26 and is not a simple musical synthesis of Cuba’s history since the 1930s until today, but instead represents a veritable cultural exchange between nations. After giving numerous sold-out concerts in cities such as Vienna, Brussels, Bremen, Gottingen and Zurich, the four generations of musicians that consist of famous names from the ‘Afro-Cuban All Stars’ the ‘Buena Vista Social Club,’ the ‘Sierra Maestra’ and ‘Tropikana,’ led by the two ‘superabuelos’ (‘super-grandparents’) of Cuban music will return this month for the fourth and last time to Bucharest. The tickets have can be bought for prices ranging from 70 to 160 RON in Diverta stores.
