ALEJANDRO GUEVARA ONOFRE: My name is Alejandro Guevara Onofre, best known as “Alex”. I have studied political science, journalism and international relations. I am a writer and professor. I spend a lot of time writing and researching about Third World countries, olympics sports, biographies and Peruvian gastronomy.

One of the most memorable moments in my life was in fact when I published my first book: an encyclopedia called Mundototal. After, I published a book about History of Women in the United States (Spanish). At the moment, I am working a book about Third World. In the future, I would like to publish books about Olympic Games, democracy, ecology and nations of the world.

I am very interested in projects about democracy, olympics sports and women´s rights. My hobbies are drawing, doing sports and learning about Third World cultures. I am passionate about 1970s Music. I like reading, especially political books. My favourite book is “Murder in A Gentle Land” by Anthony Paul and John Barron. My idol is Jimmy Carter. I really admire him is because he´s so positive and enthusiastic about Third World democracy

Maria Theresa Husband

Question: Would the son or daughter of a Holy Roman Emperor take the title Holy Roman Prince or Princess?

I know that the emperor had to be King of some place (such as Maria Theresa’s husband was Holy Roman Emperor, and she was Archduchess of Austria, and Queen of Bohemia and Hungary), so would their kids be Prince/Princess of X (wherever he was also King, or in this case his wife?) or would they also become Holy Roman Prince or Princess??

Im sorry, i know its confusing.
but it’d be much appreciated

Answer: No they would be called Archdukes, or Archduchesses, the children of emperors are almost always Archdukes, or Archduchesses unless they are ruling another area, and that would change their title completely.

Maria Theresa Politics

Fado is more alive than ever. A new generation of artists joins to the mythic voices of its early times. Fado music is the heart of the Portuguese soul. The essential element of fado music is “saudade,” a Portuguese word that means longing. It is a sad music that sings to the destiny, to the death, to the betrayal love, to the despair and to the melancholy.

The origin of this popular music goes back to the 19th century and arises among the low classes and marginal neighborhoods. Fado was the earthy music of taverns and brothels and street corners in Alfama and Mouraria, the old poor sections of Lisbon. Later, these songs proceeding from the suburbs, became fashionable among the aristocratic class, which introduced its verses in their lives as an eccentricity of ordinary people. Like other forms of folk music such as Argentine tango, American blues or Spanish flamenco, fado cannot be explained; it must be felt and experienced. Fado can be performed by men or women. A `fadista´ or fado singer communicates through gesture and facial expressions. The hands move, the body is stationary.

This music reached its golden times in the first half of the 20th century, when the Portuguese dictatorship of Salazar forced the fado performers to become professional and confined them to sing in the fado houses. Nowadays, it is protected by official institutions and cultivated as tourist spectacle.

The unrivaled queen of the fado was Amalia Rodrigues, worshiped at home and celebrated abroad as the most famous representative of Portuguese culture. Other great names of fado music were among others these were Carlos Ramos, Alfredo Marceneiro, Berta Cardoso, Maria Teresa de Noronha, Hermínia Silva, Fernando Farinha, Fernando Maurício, Lucília do Carmo or Manuel de Almeida.

Nowadays, Cristina Branco and Mariza walk the fine line between carrying on the tradition and trying to bring in a new audience.

If you travel to Lisbon, don´t forget to go to a fado spectacle. There are some restaurants where you can have dinner listening to beautiful fados. The best fado houses are located in the quarters of Alfama, Mouraria, Bairro Alto and Madragoa. Take a look to Apartments Lisbon and discover this amazing music. You will enjoy it!
