Sol Naciente

Caminando en Planeta C

Sol Naciente


Terminando mi caminata esta mañana

Fui a caminar al aire fresco temprano esta mañana. Al salir, miré hacia atrás y pude ver el reflejo del Sol Naciente en mi casa. No sé por qué, pero el reflejo me hizo pensar en Bernard Edwards, mi ex-socio y co-fundador de The CHIC Organization. Falleció hace quince años y este año el canal Japonés WOWOW hizo un documental sobre mí. Una parte importante de este documental se trata sobre la muerte de Bernard. Murió en Japón, conocida como la tierra del Sol Naciente.

You will hear a Nile Rodgers song today. It will make you happy.

Today's pop music—genre-crossing, gender-bending, racially mixed, visually stylish, and dominated by dance music with global appeal—is the world that Nile Rodgers created. In the 1970s and 1980s, he wrote and produced the songs that defined that era and everything that came after: "Le Freak," "Good Times," "We Are Family," "Like a Virgin," "Modern Love," "I'm Coming Out," "The Reflex," "Rapper's Delight." Aside from his own band, Chic, he worked with everyone from Diana Ross and Madonna to David Bowie and Duran Duran (not to mention Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, Prince, Rod Stewart, Robert Plant, Depeche Mode, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Grace Jones, Bryan Ferry, INXS, and the B-52's), transforming their music, selling millions of records, and redefining what a pop song could be.
