  2. English ''Guys! How are you? We from Queremos! team inform you that, due to the last episodes related to COVID-19, artist MIKA decided to cancel his tour in South America, including his passage through Rio de Janeiro, which would take place on April 5th. MIKA has just released a note on his Instagram profile: @mikainstagram. The goal is to collaborate to ensure the safety and health of the public, the artists and all of our collaborators involved in the production of the show, since we are faced with an unprecedented situation. We are devastated to have to go this way, knowing very well what it means for the fans. Refunds are already available to buyers at their ticket offices. For those who guaranteed admission to the pre-sale, request it at Eventbrite in Profile > Tickets. For those who bought on the Tudus website, refunds will be automatic. And for those who bought at the Circo Voador ticket office, go back to the place with the ticket to have the amount refunded. Queremos! team''
  3. Yes, thta's the correct translation, my bad (and Google Translate's as well) Thanks for pointing it out, girls
  4. Translation ''My show is an oasis, but also a provocation'', says Mika to Papelpop The climate in Brazil is hungover. Carnival ended just a few days ago and some say that the New Year only came into effect now, after Ashes Wednesday. Everyone seems to wake up and there is still glitter scattered everywhere. On the floor, on their bodies themselves... but the colors of this which is our most traditional party, present in costumes and headdresses, are really part of the essence of Brazil. They are always alive in the imagination even of those who see everything from the outside, like Lebanese Mika. When I mention the subject, he promptly says: ''I would love to enjoy this in Rio, it's something I have never done before. But if I do it one day it will be dressed up.'' His interest in the Marvelous City is nothing new. On the album ''No Place In Heaven'', released in 2015, there is a song that bears its name. In June 2018 the singer came back, but it was just a nod. He came for a walk, accompanied by friends. There was no alarm. ''I like to watch the viaducts there. I am a big fan of [Oscar] Niemeyer and architecture.'' He answers my questions while eating his dessert at a hotel in Luxembourg, a small country located to the east of Germany where he would perform that night. He insists on the Brazil agenda and questions where I speak from. Escape the classic stereotype of the gringa star who has a simplistic view of here. ''I am obsessed with the idea of being with you. People are happy, though. I know that it's not easy and that it's not safe anywhere, in a second things become dangerous, but you feel alive there'', he explains. ''I hate it when everything is just right.'' A good example of what has been said is ''Ice Cream'', one of his most recent singles. In the clip of the song, marked by a quite behaved double meaning, the singer drives an ice cream van while dancing through the streets of the city. As a candy seller, it makes summer the most delicious of the seasons. In 2010, when he played here for the last time, he was already a sensation. He made approximately 20 thousand people jump like popcorn when opening his set with ''Relax (Take It Easy)'', in the third edition of the extinct Festival Planeta Terra. Today, more mature, the artist returns in the first week of April for what will be his first tour in Latin America in a decade. In Brazil there will be three shows: two in São Paulo, as part of the Lollapalooza Festival, and another in Rio de Janeiro, at Circo Voador. He says he is happy and that the return only happened after his team was renewed. ''It is very crazy when I think about how it played out. I told them 'I am making changes here and I want a new team. I want more South America, I want Brazil, I want festivals there. Find a way to achieve that.''' And it worked. Exactly five weeks later, invitations to play in the Brazilian, Argentine and Chilean editions of the event arrived. ''I have zero expectations for what I will find there now'', he says, laughing. ''This is the rule for doing what I do. The show usually adapts itself according to what I see in front of me. If the vibe calls for something more extravagant, more sweaty, or even more songs... everything is more beautiful. So why not do that?''. His business is really surprising. Ahead of The Voice France and The X-Factor Italia as a coach, he not only taught young talents to achieve their most beautiful musical notes, but also reinforced his ability with languages. In addition to French, which I risk at some points during the interview and I am promptly answered, he also speaks (and sings) in English and Italian. I remember a post made on his Instagram profile at the end of last year in which he interacted with an assistant during a visit to Mexico. Mika spoke almost perfect Spanish - the opportunity to know: don't you feel like singing in Portuguese too? ''I've been working on a project with Mariza, a Portuguese fado singer. Do you know her? We were thinking about making a mix of songs in Portuguese, French and English. Your language is a beautiful language to sing, I think it would be easy. I think it's very close to the Italian, I like the idea.'' If, when he released his debut album, ''Life in Cartoon Motion'' (2007) Mika sang themes centered on the search for his own identity, as well as drawing parallels between himself and the figures of Freddie Mercury and Grace Kelly (Princess of Monaco who earned him the title of his biggest hit), today things flow at a very different frequency. Since coming out as gay in 2012, he says he is more comfortable with himself - to the point of giving his new record the name ''My Name is Michael Holbrook''. This is what appears in your documents. The new crop of songs is delicious. His verses, which remain bittersweet, make us to dance in the same proportion as they touch the heart. They talk about jealousy and the unfolding of passions. They narrate the pain of the end, but without forgetting simplicity of finding and living a great love. ''Tiny Love'', the most daring song on the album, is a good example of this. In addition to the lyrics that strolls through the gardens of Central Park, its structure, without any exaggeration, beckons to the boldness of Queen's classic ''Bohemian Rhapsody''. Mika is not afraid to bet. Between the enjoyment and the tears that surround this storytelling craft, ''My Name is Michael Holbrook'' seems to be his most personal work to date. I comment on that and Mika disagrees. ''I would say that it's the most liberating. My only rule when I started working on these songs was to turn them into something that was free, completely shameless. I tried to be as faithful to myself as possible and when I defined what I wanted to talk about, the themes ended up being more personal. I needed to feel more secure to go deeper into myself.'' Despite making music for the general public, his creative sense clashes with the logic of the industry. ''We are seeing the market being dominated by urban and girls singing songs written by, I don't know, seven people. Young people consume, dance it. I don't want to repeat the same formula'', he explains. With the growth of the repertoire it's difficult to select what to leave out and what must be on the set. There are classics like ''Grace Kelly'', ''Lollipop'' and ''Origin Of Love'' that captivate the audience right from the first chords, but the new ones have also conquered their space. ''Dear Jealously'', for example, an electronically based song and of frantic lyrics, made the Brooklyn Steel audience in New York jump right off the tour. The record, which offers a preview of what the artist presents to Brazil in April, can be seen on the live album ''MIKA: Live From Brooklyn Steel''. In the two concerts that originated the material, filmed in September 2019, there is a profusion of colors, joy and love. After all, how challenging is it to place balloons, curtains, lights and instruments on the road? ''Not even a little. It's not because the fans need this moment and want it so much. We have been circulating for 6 months and I already understood that this show is an oasis, but also a provocation. I sing about feelings and they need to be provoked, you can't just put loose things on stage and sing. I think that is why I have enjoyed this tour so much, because we are transporting a circus full of meanings.'' But to accompany Mika, you see, it takes more than giving yourself up. Let there be breath! He dances non-stop, he doesn't tune off a second. He plays the piano, ends the night with his ruffled Dior shirt soaked in sweat. He jokes that there is no time to interact. The silence, in his words, captures the audience's attention. ''When I'm on stage, I use my body and my feet to communicate and that's incredible because it gives me the idea that I can do it in different ways. People really listen to you when you don't speak. It is my revelation.'' A month from the show he does in São Paulo, at Cine Jóia, tickets are almost sold out. At the end of our conversation, I go back in time and think about when, as a teenager, I heard his compositions and recognized myself in them. I tell this story and mention the importance of LGBTQ+ representation in music, remembering the thousands of fans who are waiting for him in Brazil. In response, Mika thanks and highlights the power of emotion, one of the most effective tools when it comes to promoting empathy and resilience. ''There is little of that out there and when we look for the concept of community it's necessary to think that they don't exist without emotion. It's what connects people.'' For him, we need to come to a consensus on the fact that there is much more than a request for tolerance involved in the issue. ''We are a necessity and the fact of allowing ourselves to be empowered is very important in this fight. Some of our greatest minds, thinkers and inventors, were gay. We are a great source of excellence.'' Mika in Brazil Tickets for the singer's performances are available for prices ranging between R$ 120 and R$ 1,400.

  17. FAN-ACTIONS: DIRETRIZES ''Como alguns de vocês devem saber, houve alguns problemas com as fan-actions no recente show de Mika em Paris (22/12). A promotora, Alias Production, entrou em contato conosco pouco antes do show começar, para nos informar que eles tinham ouvido falar sobre as ações propostas pelos fãs e eles sentiram que a grande quantidade de papel envolvida poderia criar muita confusão, fazendo com que o local cobrasse taxa extra de limpeza, que por sua vez seria repassada ao Mika Fan Club - independentemente do MFC ter organizado a fan-action ou não. Portanto, a segurança confiscou grande parte do papel que os fãs estavam tentando trazer. O Mika Fan Club não tem um orçamento, e eu acho que nenhum de nós quer pagar pela limpeza de um local de concerto! Sei que muitos de vocês estão planejando uma variedade de fan-actions para os próximos shows do Mika, e que muitos deles envolvem ''adereços'' ou itens que podem causar lixo e outros problemas em potencial nos locais. Então, conversamos com o pessoal da Alias, pois eles são os promotores da maioria dos próximos shows franceses, perguntando que tipo de diretrizes eles gostariam que as fan-actions em larga escala seguissem. Obviamente, essas são recomendações da Alias, mas provavelmente são boas diretrizes que qualquer fan-action, grande ou pequena, deve seguir. Diretrizes de fan-actions: Lembre-se de que cada local tem suas próprias regras e regulamentos. Todos e tudo que entrar no local devem respeitar as diretrizes de segurança e proteção, incluindo os regulamentos de segurança contra incêndio. A ação deve ser organizada por um grupo sério e respeitoso de pessoas com um líder definido. Entre em contato com a promotora com antecedência e explique sua idéia e projeto com o máximo de detalhes possível. Para grandes shows como Zenith e Arena, é melhor entrar em contato pelo menos quatro semanas antes do evento. Quanto mais cedo, melhor. Ter a solicitação do fã-clube legítimo geralmente é a melhor opção. O promotor informará se o projeto parece realista e poderá fazer perguntas adicionais, dependendo dos seus projetos: por exemplo, um aviso técnico completo para qualquer coisa com uma fonte de iluminação e o papel deve respeitar algumas questões de segurança contra incêndio. Você permanece responsável pelo projeto, financeira e logisticamente. Se o projeto exigir alguma montagem antes da abertura das portas, lembre-se de que você normalmente não poderá entrar no local mais cedo. Se você entrar cedo, essa não é uma oportunidade para uma volta nos bastidores ou para conhecer o Mika e a banda! Seria estritamente para as necessidades do projeto. Algumas fan-actions menores podem não exigir a aprovação do promotor se não exigirem objetos, itens ou logística adicionais. No entanto, é melhor fazer check-in antecipadamente, por precaução. Lembre-se de que, embora as fan-actions sejam divertidas e possam realmente melhorar a experiência do programa, a prioridade continua sendo o show em si. Os promotores terão prazer em ajudar com qualquer coisa que venha de fora, desde que não perturbe a criação do show e, portanto, o resultado final que todos estão esperando. Então, o que isso tudo significa? Bem, pedimos que qualquer pessoa que organize fan-actions realmente pense sobre quais serão os efeitos colaterais da ação: Isso criará uma enorme bagunça no local que pode exigir limpeza adicional? Tem potencial para criar um risco de incêndio? Isso interferirá no prazer de outros fãs do show - por exemplo, isso bloqueará a visão deles do palco? Obviamente, o MFC não pode controlar o que cada pessoa faz, mas se você deseja a ajuda do MFC e quer dizer que ''esta é uma fan-action aprovada pelo Mika Fan Club'', será necessário seguir estas diretrizes. O que quero dizer é que você não pode dizer: ''estou com o Mika Fan Club, por isso estou autorizado a fazer isso'', porque isso não é automaticamente verdade. Sei que muitos de vocês já fizeram alguns planos e que tudo isso pode ser perturbador, mas como agimos como o fã-clube ''oficial'' do Mika, queremos garantir um bom relacionamento com a Alias e todas as outras. promotoras e locais com os quais Mika trabalha. Agradeço sua compreensão e tenho certeza de que vocês terão perguntas. Portanto, sintam-se à vontade para perguntar abaixo ou enviem uma mensagem particular para mim ou para uma das outras moderadoras. Obrigado.'' Texto Original em Inglês:
