# Manitas de Plata

Ricardo Baliardo (7 August 1921 – 5 November 2014), better known as Manitas de Plata ("little hands of silver"), was a French flamenco guitarist of Catalan Gitano descent, born in southern France. Despite achieving worldwide fame, he has been criticized for not following certain rhythmic rules, such as compás, that are traditional in flamenco.

## Life and career

Baliardo was born in a gypsy caravan in Sète, southern France.
Nicknamed Manitas de Plata ("little hands of silver" in Spanish), he agreed to play in public only ten years after the death of Romani-Belgian jazz guitarist and composer Django Reinhardt, in 1953.
Baliardo attained fame in the United States after a photography exhibition in New York, organized by his friend Lucien Clergue. He had recorded his first official album in the chapel of Arles in France in 1963, on the Philips label. It was later re-released in 1967, on the Connoisseur Society label and sold through the Book of the Month Club. This record brought him to the attention of an American audience, where a manager obtained a booking for him to play a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York on 24 November 1965, and on The Ed Sullivan Show the same year. He went on to perform in various venues around the world.
Manitas de Plata was the uncle of Diego, Paco, and Tonino Baliardo, and cousin to Pablo, François (Canut), Patchaï, Nicolas, and André Reyes (the sons of his cousin, flamenco artist José Reyes, with whom he performed as a duo in the 1970s), all current or former members of the Catalan rumba band Gipsy Kings.
De Plata died on 6 November 2014, aged 93, in a retirement home in Montpellier. He had suffered a severe heart attack in April 2013.

## Acclaim and legacy

One of his recordings earned him a letter from Jean Cocteau, acclaiming him as a creator. Upon hearing him play at Arles in 1964, Pablo Picasso is said to have exclaimed, "that man is of greater worth than I am!" and proceeded to draw on Baliardo's guitar. Australian multi-instrumentalist Chris Freeman, his student in 1971, acknowledged de Plata's influence and teachings.
A statue by the sculptor Jean-Loup Bouvier, depicting de Plata playing his guitar, was erected in front of Hôtel de Ville, Montpellier, in June 2017.

# Wevie Stonder

Wevie Stonder /ˈwiːviː ˈstʌndər/ are a British group formed in Brighton in 1993. They have released 6 studio albums on Skam records, Sonig and Cack Records. The band's name is a spoonerism of American R&B and soul musician Stevie Wonder.

## History

The band formed in 1993, when their first recording session resulted in a failed cover version of Stevie Wonder´s “I just called to say I love you” and marked the birth of Wevie Stonder - a name which would go on to spark a fad of spoonerised names and puns in electronic music (such as Com Truise and Joy Orbison).
Their first LP "Eat Your Own Ears" (it's name later taken by the London-based promotions company) was released in 2000, and led to a series of records for Skam, radio sessions for the BBC, and live performances at electronic music nights and festivals around the UK and Europe - with their debut live show at Sonar festival, Barcelona.
After a very long hiatus, Wevie Stonder have a new album - "Sure Beats Living" - due for release in May 2025 on Skam.

# Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens

The Sigma APO 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM lens is a super-telephoto lens produced by Sigma Corporation.
It is actually a range of two slightly different lenses based on a common design: the Sports and Contemporary. Both lenses feature similar specifications, but there are some notable differences. The Sports model has better weather sealing, more lens elements, a larger size and weight and slightly better optical performance at towards the 600 mm end of its zoom range. The Contemporary model, on the other hand, is built to a cheaper price point but features similar performance. Its performance suffers a little more than the Sport model between 300 and 600 mm.

# Svengali

Svengali (/svɛŋˈɡɑːli/) is a character in the novel Trilby which was first published in 1894 by George du Maurier. Svengali is a Jewish man who seduces, dominates and exploits Trilby, a young half-Irish girl, and makes her into a famous singer.

## Definition

After the book's publication in 1894, the word "svengali" has come to refer to a person who, with evil intent, dominates, manipulates and controls another.
In court, the "Svengali defence" is a legal tactic that portrays the defendant as a pawn in the scheme of a greater, and more influential, criminal mastermind.

## Novel

Svengali is a stereotypical antisemitic portrayal of an Ashkenazic (Eastern European) Jew, complete with "bold, black, beady Jew's eyes" and a "hoarse, rasping, nasal, throaty rook's caw, his big yellow teeth baring themselves in a mongrel canine snarl". He is continually filthy and yet still "clean enough to suit (his own) kind". George Orwell wrote that Svengali, who while cleverer than the Englishmen, is evil, effeminate, and physically repugnant, was "a sinister caricature of the traditional type" and an example of "the prevailing form of antisemitism."
   (Svengali) would either fawn or bully, and could be grossly impertinent. He had one kind of cynical humour, which was more offensive than amusing, and always laughed at the wrong thing, at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and his laughter was always derisive, and full of malice.
In the novel, Svengali transforms Trilby into a great singer by using hypnosis. Unable to perform without Svengali's help, Trilby becomes entranced.

## Portrayals

Svengali was almost immediately stripped of his Jewishness in portrayals. Svengali was first portrayed by the English actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree in London and by the actor Wilton Lackaye in the United States in the stage play of 1895, Trilby. The story has also been used in several movies.
The character was portrayed in the following films which were all titled Svengali: first by Ferdinand Bonn in the silent film of 1914, then by Paul Wegener in the silent film of 1927, by John Barrymore in 1931, by Donald Wolfit in 1954 (in Technicolor), and by Peter O'Toole in the film of 1983, which was a modernised version made for television and co-starred Jodie Foster. In the movie of March 1983 however, the names of the characters were changed.
In 2015, the Season 5 episode "The Mane Attraction" of the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic featured a character named Svengallop, an in-universe representation of Svengali who served as the exploitive stage manager of a traveling singer.
The character "Levi Svengali" was portrayed by actor and director Ash Avildsen in the television series Paradise City released by Amazon Prime Video in March 2021.
