Roisin Murphy presented her album Overpowered in a concert at Teatro Cervantes in Malaga on 28th October 2008. You can watch and embed the video, download concert photographs and get more information at TVSpain - ROISIN MURPHY video, Overpowered concert in Malaga .
Irish chanteuse Roisin Murphy is a singular presence in 21st-century pop. Unlike your stereotypical, ultra-focused, career-obsessed modern young pop wannabe, Ms Murphy didn’t particularly wanna be at all. The Wicklow-born and Manchester-raised singer hadn’t sung a note when, at the age of 18, she approached a bloke she liked the look of at a Sheffield club and asked him, ‘Do you like my tight sweater?’ A pretty great chat-up line, all told; good enough to get her the guy (dance producer Mark Brydon), make her the lead singer of a twisted dance-pop duo called Moloko, and serve as the title of the pair’s 1995 debut album. Roisin Murphy fell in love and fell into pop purely by chance. The more you fall into the lush dance-pop swirlings of this, Murphy’s second solo album, the more you feel that it was pop’s lucky day.
Overpowered, a sumptuous 11-track, all-killer-no-filler, electro-disco gem sees Murphy striving to get rid of her Big Hit Albatross. ‘Sing it Back’, you may recall, was the ubiquitous mainstream club anthem of 1999, which would have been all roses and kittens for Murphy and Brydon if it hadn’t been a remix that didn’t really sound like the rest of Moloko’s more trippy, art-funk oeuvre.

No one else but Roisin Murphy would have the guts to wear such an edgy outfit, and pull if off so magnificently. To the Christian Dior Spring 2009 show yesterday, the singer is wore this structured dress from the Gareth Pugh Spring 2009 collection, which was only presented 3 days ago during Paris Fashion Week.

Feria de Malaga takes place every year in August in the capital of the Costa del Sol. It opens with a firework display, a big night party on the Malagueta beach and the MTV concert featuring top international pop stars.
The following day the city centre is transformed with horses carrying people dressed in typical Andalucian costumes. The horses and horse-drawn carriages take Malagenians to the church (Santuario de Ntra. Sra. De La Victoria), where they attend a service and offer flowers to the patron saint of Málaga, the Virgen de la Victoria. This is a chance to see a beautiful display of horse-riding clothes and outfits, horse harnessing and the special andalusian costumes and dresses.
During the day the fair takes place in the Malaga’s Old Town “Feria de DÃa” and in the evening in the outskirts at The Palacia de Feria located south-west of the center “Real De La Feria” (the feria proper). Feria Real is a rather commercial theme park and mass entertainment. In contrast the fair in the city center is a wonderful an spontaneous gathering of thousands of people joining together to have fun.
The fashion show for elderly “ PASARELA DE MODA MAYORESâ€, a part of a one week event â€XIV Semana del Mayor†is organized for senior citizens by Department of Social Welfare of Malaga Town Hall between 29th April and 4th May.
If you want to see the prove of a quality of life in southern Spain just see the video. But it’s not just the catwalk. You can see Spanish senior citizens every evening, wearing glamorous clothes, walking along the beach promenades, sitting in the street restaurants and bars, having a coffee, ice cream and a glass of brandy. Spanish elderly can enjoy their lives.
Antonio Banderas returned again to Malaga - the city where he was born to participate in this year celebrations of Semana Santa / Holly Week. He was accompanied by his wife Melanie Griffith and the childeren Alexander and Dakota. Dressed with a tunica he gave a signal by knocking a bell to 180 men who carried the trone / float of Virgen de Lágrimas y Favores / the Virgin of Tears and Favours.
Banderas returned to London to continue filming of ‘The Other Man,’ but he promised to go back very soon for the rest of the Semana Santa celebrations.
