Francesca Han: Right Music, Right Time
by Ian Patterson
Korea has never been more fashionable, leading the way in technological advances and dictating hair styles, television viewing, eye shape and pop music trends across Asia and beyond. The mindboggling response to singer PSY's song “Gangnam Style," with over a billion hits on You Tube, epitomizes the phenomena of the so-called “Korean Wave." Fewer people, inevitably, ...

There are plenty of positives about getting older: wisdom, maturity and a more balanced outlook are just three of them. But it would be unrealistic to suggest that there aren't a few negatives thrown in there. When bassist Eberhard Weber woke up in his hotel room on the morning of April 23, 2007, in Berlin, Germany, ...

by AAJ Italy Staff
Hanno un nome tanto lungo quanto originale (anche se spesso viene poi ridotto a acronimo per praticità, MOPDTK). Compiono nel 2013 i dieci anni di attività.
