So Get Up (30th Anniversary poem book) written by Ithaka Darin Pappas

So Get Up, a lyric poem by Californian artist and songwriter Ithaka (or Ithaka Darin Pappas) was written on December 13th 1992 on a cafe napkin in the Amoreiras neighborhood of Lisbon, Portugal, where he worked and resided from 1992-1998. At the time, Ithaka had been guest-hosting segments of the program "4º Bairro" (4th Block) on the national station Rádio Comercial during which he would often read his own short stories and poems. Having arrived to the station that day with little or no material to recite, Ithaka wrote So Get Up and a couple of short prose pieces at a coffeeshop next to the station's studio just prior to going on-air. A few months later, Ithaka recorded an electro musical version of So Get Up and other songs with a production team in Manchester, England released by indie label Embryo Entertainment with little public attention. In subsequent three decades however, So Get Up as a vocal poem has been utilized extensively by international producers in almost every sub-genre of electronic dance music. There are, to date, more than six-hundred and fifty songs using the So Get Up poem vocalized by Ithaka as their base, making So Get Up one of the most remixed vocal acapellas in musical history. Some of the most visible versions globally have been produced by Underground Sound of Lisbon, Fatboy Slim and Cosmic Gate. https://www.amazon.com/So-Get-Ithaka-Darin-Pappas/dp/B0BMSN6PQH

"SO GET UP" La canción de música electrónica portuguesa más grande de la historia

Letrista y vocalista de todas las versiones de So Get Up, Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas)

Underground Sound Of Lisbon ft. Ithaka – So Get Up (1994)
So Get Up supuso el ir más allá de lo que era habitual, es decir, rock y fado. Fue publicado en 1994 como cara B de Chapter One y parte de la letra dice: “The end of the world is upon us, pretty soon it will all turn to dust”, un trabajo de Ithaka (ou Ithaka Darin Pappas), un artista griego-Californiano. La versión USL de la canción es en realidad un remix de la versión original de 1992 de Ithaka (quien también es el vocalista del remix de 1994).

So Get Up de USL ft. Ithaka conquistó el mundo cuando el sello Tribal America se lo dio a Junior Vazquez y Danny Tenaglia.

Traducción de la canción

Levántate El fin de la tierra está sobre nosotros Muy pronto todo se convertirá en polvo
Así que levántate Olvida el pasado
Sal afuera y diviértete
Así que levántate. El fin de la tierra está sobre nosotros. Pronto todo se convertirá en polvo.
Así que levántate Olvida el pasado
Sal afuera y diviértete
Sal de tu mente
Volverse loco
A un lugar que nunca has estado antes
Entonces levantate

© 1992 Ithaka Darin Pappas


https://www.redbull.com/int-es/sonidos-esencial-de-club-portugueses

El mundillo de la música electrónica portuguesa está en plena efervescencia y es uno de los más originales de Europa. Como en otros muchos lugares todo empezó escuchando sonidos tecno y rave provenientes de EE.UU, Reino Unido y Alemania. Luego el Underground Sound Of Lisbon cambió todo el panorama durante las tres últimas décadas. El movimiento está muy influido por la lusofonía, los sonidos que los emigrantes de Angola y Cabo Verde llevaron a Portugal, que con el tiempo se ha convertido en algo más global. 

Mientras Lisboa se prepara para acoger el Red Bull Culture Clash, vamos a presentarte algunos de los sonidos de club más importantes de la capital portuguesa de los últimos 30 años.
