"Paradise Sound"

from PiCast · host John Manuel

No precisely about John Milton's "Paradise Lost", but a poetic interpretation of the Hip Hop landmark song: "Gansta's Paradise". A single by American rapper Coolio, which was released on August 1, 1995 by Tommy Boy, Warner Bros. and MCA. Interpolating or sampling Stevie Wonder's song "Pastime Paradise" (1976 -double album Songs In "The Key Of Life"). In addition, the composition features vocals from American singer [[L.V.]], won a Grammy Award, and was credited for changing the course of Hip Hop by bringing it to a wider audience, besides the song was commissioned for the soundtrack of the movie "Dangerous Minds" in which Michelle Pfeiffer played as teacher and ex-marine": "LouAnne Johnson" . "Gangsta's Paradise" became a protest song that criticized violence and life in the marginalized neighborhoods focusing on the need for social change. It is like "César Vallejo" coined: "Every brilliant voice comes from the people and returns to them." PS.
