TEORIA & PRAXIS MUSICAIS PORTUGUESAS (I)
Jorge Martinez
Se, neste blog, existe um label "pensamento filosófico português", nada justifica que, paralelamente, não haja outro designado por "teoria & praxis musicais portuguesas". Embora de forma desgarrada, já vários dos notabilíssimos valores dessa área foram aqui referidos (e passarão, agora, a estar abrangidos pelo novo label), mas nenhum melhor para a inaugurar oficialmente do que O Artista Anteriormente Conhecido Como Jorge Rocha & As Lipstick (aliás, "o Prince Português") ou, contemporaneamente, Jorge Martinez (isto é, "o Ricky Martin Português"). A sua vida e obra multifacetadas irão ser, gradualmente, abordadas, mas, hoje, como cartão de visita, fica o videoclip de lançamento do seu último álbum, Silêncio, que, nas palavras do próprio Jorge, "é uma bela e comovente história que retrata o amor em todo o seu esplendor! Um videoclip enigmático, com uma tenacidade dramática brilhante. Fascínio, sedução, glamour, lamas, areias, ruínas, escombros, falésias sumptuosas, entrelaçadas com dor, desespero e sofrimento, tornam este filme num monumento à capacidade do ser humano, em acreditar e lutar contra qualquer adversidade. Mistério e Amor num filme/videoclip com impacto, poderoso!!!"
