Rogers, “poisonous relations”: the family feud continues
TORONTO – “Fratelli coltelli”. Or, if you prefer, “Parenti serpenti”. These are the titles of two Italian comedies of the 90s that are well suited to the squalid show that the members of the Rogers family, owners of the homonymous telecommunications giant, are giving, publicly.

But let’s take a step back. Continue reading→

O ritmo era composto por dois jovens à concertina – o Miguel e o Mário Pereira! Eu estava que nem um peixinho na água a ver os elementos a dançar, moda após moda, com a ajuda da diretora do grupo Angie Camara que me adiantou que o mesmo foi fundado em 1987 e que desde então têm representado o clube em muitos eventos, incluindo festivais de folclore e, claro, no “Carassauga”. Para meu espanto dançaram a “Chula Vareira”, uma moda da minha linda Póvoa de Varzim… por momentos esqueci-me das agruras da vida! … Read More in Revista Amar >>>
