"I Ride" por Ithaka
"I RIDE" - Ithaka, UM MULTI TALENTOSO HOMEM DO MAR
Deixamos aqui um tema musical que descreve alguns motivos pelos quais este artista Californiano (com fortes ligações a Portugal) faz o seu "ride" pelas ondas. palavras com as quais muitos de nós se identificam com certeza.
Ithaka Darin Pappas é Californiano, um artista na verdadeira grandeza que a palavra encerra ‐ escultor, fotógrafo, escritor, músico, surfista ‐ tendo no mar e no surf uma das suas matérias primas criativas. Ithaka tem também uma ligação muito forte ao nosso País, onde tem amizades sólidas passando por isso por cá várias temporadas.
Em termos musicais Ithaka, gravou em Lisboa, os seus dois primeiros álbuns de hip hop, Flowers And The Color Of Paint e Stellafly. A sua música, Escape From The City Of Angels, apareceu na banda sonora do longa-metragem da Columbia Pictures, The Replacement Killers. Durante os diversos anos que residiu em Portugal, alguns dos seus projectos musicais foram nomeados para um total de nove Blitz Awards (o equivalente Português dos Prémios Grammy).
A sua faceta de escultor:
"Eu gosto de saber a história por detrás de cada prancha... porque cada prancha tem uma história para contar". Darin Pappas soletrou estas palavras a um shaper brasileiro, na sua oficina quando este se preparava para lhe ceder umas das suas velhas pranchas para uma nova criação do multifacetado artista californiano.
Na sua faceta de escultor, Ithaka transforma shapes convencionais em novas e excêntricas formas, criando verdadeiras obras de arte daquilo que muitos poderão considerar uma amalgama velha e amarelada de foam e resina!

So Get Up lyrics
https://www.lyrics.com/sublyric/96238/Ithaka/So+Get+Up
The end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
So get up. Forget the past. Go outside and have a blast.
Go a thousand miles in a jet airplane. Go out of your mind go insane.
To a place you never been before. Eat ice cream or you'll lick the floor.
'Cause, the end of the earth is upon us.
Pretty soon it'll all turn to dust.
Goodbye my friends. Goodbye world.
I'll see you in the next life.
c. Ithaka Darin Pappas 1992
