song

A comedian has explained what the song from ‘The Lion King’ means in Zulu. It was fake and could cost you 27 million

by

A Zimbabwean comedian went viral last month after claiming on a podcast that the Zulu phrase that opens the legendary theme song of ‘The Lion King’, ‘Circle of Life’ meant, simply and plainly, “Look, there’s a lion.” However, it was a joke: a false translation. Now the original composer, the South African Lebo M, is demanding $27 million from him in a federal court in Los Angeles. Aaaaa stork. Since 1994, millions of people have hummed “Nants ingonyama bagithi baba” without having the slightest idea of ​​its meaning. The phrase opens ‘Circle of Life’, the song with which ‘The Lion King’and is written in isiZulu and isiXhosa, two of the twelve official languages ​​of South Africa. The official translation used by Disney says: “Everyone hails the king, we bow before his presence.” It’s a Praise Imbongia form of oral royal praise poetry rooted in South African cultural tradition. Author, author. The song composed and performed by Lebohang Morakeknown artistically as Lebo M. Morake lived in exile in Los Angeles during apartheid. Hans Zimmer asked him to contribute his voice and his knowledge of African music to ‘The Lion King’ and the result was that initial scream that, as dawn broke on the savanna and the Disney logo rose, made the hairs on the back of the viewers of the time stand on end. The song was nominated for an Oscar for best original song and a Grammy, although it lost both to another piece from the same film, ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’. The false translation. In February, Zimbabwean comedian Learnmore Mwanyenyeka, known as Learnmore Jonasi, appeared on the ‘One54’ podcast. The presenters began to sing the phrase from memory, like every neighbor’s son does. Jonasi stopped them: “That’s not how you sing, don’t destroy our language.” He then offered his translation: “Look, there’s a lion! Oh my God!” When one of the incredulous drivers asked him if he was serious, Jonasi insisted: “That’s exactly what it means.” The clip went viral in a matter of days. The song that seemed like an epic proclamation was actually just pointing to an animal. The demand de Morake acknowledges that “ingonyama” can be literally translated as “lion” in Zulu, but argues that in the context of the Praise Imbongi The word functions as a metaphor for royalty and ancestral authority. Jonasi’s translation would be, in the words of Morake’s lawyers, “a manufactured and trivializing distortion, intended as a crude joke for personal gain.” According to the same legal document, Jonasi has been making this joke in his repertoire for eight years. Who is Jonasi? The comedian, born in Zimbabwe and based in Pittsburgh, rose to fame in 2024 when he placed fifth in that year’s edition of ‘America’s Got Talent’. His comedy usually revolves around the contrasts between his life in Africa and American culture, and part of his regular repertoire includes criticism of the representation of Africa in Hollywood, such as the lions in ‘The Lion King’ having American accents or the baboon Rafiki speaking English with a South African accent. The joke was, in that sense, consistent with his usual discourse of questioning how Disney had treated African culture. Can a joke cost 27 million? The legal key to the whole matter lies in a well-established principle in American law: the First Amendment protects parody and artistic satire, but not false statements presented as true, even if said in a comedic context. Morake’s lawyers argue precisely that: that Jonasi did not present his translation as a joke but “as authoritative fact.” The lawsuit also cites: Jonasi’s attempt to monetize virality through merchandising. The amount requested amounts to more than $20 million in actual damages, plus $7 million in punitive damages. It is alleged to justify it that the viral is directly damaging Lebo M’s professional relationship with Disney and reducing his income from royalties. Disney has not made any statements on the matter. The answer. Jonasi launched a GoFundMe campaign titled ‘Help Learnmore Fight an Unjust Lawsuit‘ with which he has raised more than 16,000 of the 20,000 dollars he asks for. There he says that he never intended to cause harm and that he needs support to “protect his right to speak and tell jokes.” Before that, posted a video on Instagram in which he declared himself a fan of Lebo M’s work and proposed making a video together explaining the real meaning of the song. In networks, the composer responded that Jonasi “crossed a line by insulting African culture and spreading colonialist propaganda.” In Xataka | We all assumed that ‘The Simpsons’ would never end. Now, its showrunner has just confirmed it

‘Baby Shark’ is the most successful song in YouTube history. It is also the least profitable of all

by

It has already gone somewhat out of fashion, at least in terms of omnipresence at children’s parties, birthdays and meetings with children, but in those transition years between the birth of YouTube and the current flood of children’s content generated by AIs and insane algorithms on the platform, ‘Baby Shark‘It was a monumental success. One that, however, did not make its creators millionaires, unlike what many of us came to believe. Baby Shark, the legend. The infectious original song, since its publication on YouTube in June 2016, has accumulated an average of more than 4.7 million daily views. Now it’s at 16.4 billion views. Success transcends borders: available in 25 different languages, the United States leads as the main market in number of views, while Brazil holds the record in number of “likes.” In 2020, it dethroned ‘Despacito’ as the most viewed content on YouTube. And the distance continues to grow: ‘Despacito’ remains at 8.86 billion views, and ‘Baby Shark’ already doubles it. As The Wall Street Journal saysto get an idea of ​​the dimensions of the achievement: the amount is approximately equivalent to the sum of Taylor Swift’s ten most popular music videos on the platform. There is no money. Despite the records, Pinkfong, the South Korean company that created the song, barely generated $67 million in 2024. The reason: child privacy restrictions drastically limit its advertising monetization. In September 2019, Google agreed to pay 170 million dollars to resolve accusations of systematic violations of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The US Federal Trade Commission determined that the platform had collected cookies and IP addresses from children under 13 years of age to serve you personalized advertisingwithout obtaining parental consent. The sanction (136 million for the FTC, 34 million for the State of New York) represented the largest fine imposed until then for violations of this type. The investigation revealed that YouTube advertised itself among toy brands such as Mattel and Hasbro as a leader in reaching children ages 6 to 11. Changes for Baby Shark. This fine led to YouTube banning personalized advertising in “Made for Kids” content as of January 2020. Additionally, it disabled features such as comments, subscription notifications, playlists, and live chat. The economic impact was notable: Children’s content creators reduced their production by 18% and views fell by 20%. Profits plummeted between 60% and 90% compared to content with personalized advertising. Others affected. Other big names in children’s entertainment also saw stars with YouTube’s decision. Cocomelonwhich has two of the ten videos confirmed significant revenue losses after the removal of personalized advertising. Chris Williams, co-founder of pocket.watch (a digital studio specialized in children’s content), said that the main channels in the sector, such as the Indian ChuChu TV, had experienced drops between 50% and 60% in their advertising revenue since January 2020. To survive. Faced with monetization restrictions, Pinkfong has built a diversified business model where YouTube advertising represents only a fraction of its revenue. According to data from the first half of 202568% of its sales now come from content distribution (YouTube, but also Netflix and live shows), while merchandising contributes 15%, licensing 10%, and the remaining segment corresponds to video games and other digital products. This allowed the company to achieve a profit of approximately 13 million dollars in 2024 on total revenues of 67 million. Of course, its CEO has already spoken of integrating artificial intelligence and data analysis in content creation. No more viral bombs.

This song is number one on the Billboard chart in the US. And it has been generated by AI

by

The new artist that is triumphing on the charts in the United States is called Breaking Rust, but it is not a person, but an AI. Your song’Walk My Walk‘ has become number one on the Billboard list of song sales of the genre countryand we are not surprised because it is wonderful. And that raises again an increasingly loud debate. Why is it important. Music generated with artificial intelligence platforms has already sowed other controversies in the past, such as the one we experience with famous fake Drake song. Models and services like Suno AI They have evolved so much in recent months that today the results that can be obtained are as good as those of songs played and sung by human artists. And if not, tell this song by Breaking Rust, which has managed to convince people enough to make it number one in the prestigious Billboard magazine of hits in the US. Who is Breaking Rust?. In Newsweek they claim to have contacted the person behind the virtual artist Breaking Rust, but he has not made any statements. The artist has a profile in Linktree and on Instagramwhere 39,000 people are currently following him. In that account, videos made with AI appear in which the image of a cowboy is presented in different situations and with his songs in the background. Meanwhile, on Spotify has Right now more than two million monthly listeners. It is not clear who is behind said virtual artist, although some analyzes have tried to reveal that mystery. It is not the first and it certainly will not be the last hit of AI. What ‘Walk My Walk’ has achieved is striking, but in recent months we had already seen some virtual artists with songs generated by AI They end up being a hit on Spotifyalthough there are suspicions in this success (and probably, many bots). Replicating any style has long seemed like a piece of cake for AI models… even before ChatGPT appeared and it will change everything. We can no longer distinguish if a song was made by AI. It is already difficult to detect whether a text or an image has been created by an AI. The video seemed to be somewhat easier to identify, but the latest versions of Veo or Sora make it really complicated. With music we have reached a point where human music is indistinguishable from that generated by AI. This is what it indicates a recent study linked in Scientific American. It became clear that the majority of participants in this study could not distinguish creations made with Suno AI from human compositions. Rejection and worry. Music generated by AI, as in other types of content, is generating rejection in certain sectors. Josh Antonuccio, from Ohio University, explained that AI-generated content “creates more noise (…) The only thing that will continue to distinguish human artists is those who have remarkable music, a captivating perspective and a story that attracts fans.” Meanwhile, the truth is that this makes it more difficult for artists, especially independent ones who are trying to be successful in this segment. They also wonder if AI will ultimately I shouldn’t pay them a commission considering that he has (probably) trained with his works.

We can already choose and reproduce any song

by

Spotify has a gigantic user base that uses the application completely free. Now, the platform It has just improved this plan With something that took years: the possibility of searching and reproducing any specific song, thus ending with one of the most frustrating limitations of its free service. The platform has introduced the functions “Pick & Play”, “Search & Play” and “Share & Play”, which allow to select and directly reproduce any topic. Choose yes, but the ads continue. Until now, Spotify free users could only listen to music in random mode with a maximum of six jumps per hour, which forced to wait until the desired song sounded. This restriction pushed many users towards other alternatives, such as YouTube, or make the leap to the premium subscription. With this change, Spotify seeks to retain their free base while exposing these users to more ads. In detail. The new functions eliminate the most annoying barrier of the free service. Users can now play any song in the mobile application and reproduce it instantly, look for specific songs or play songs shared by friends on social networks. However, limitations do not disappear completely: as the company has confirmed to specialized media, There is a daily limit From “time on demand” that, once exhausted, is restricted again to six jumps per hour. A lucrative source of income. This decision comes at a crucial moment for Spotify. Your advertising business is going through difficulties, with CEO Daniel Ek recognizing that the company has “moved too slow” on this front. The platform wants advertising income to represent 20% of its total income, but It has only reached 11% until June. With 433 million free users compared to 276 million premium subscribers, improving free experience can translate into greater engagement and, therefore, more advertising exposure. And now what. Spotify maintains exclusive premium functions such as lossless audiothe Reproduction lists with AI and other advanced characteristics, beyond, logically, of reproduction without ads. With this change, the company has positioned itself towards maintaining sufficient incentives to not make its users opt for other platforms, some of them consider climbing the premium and thus continue to grow in advertising income. It is of course good news for users who were conf formed with the free plan, although everything will depend on that limitation of ‘time on demand’.

‘Louie Louie’ looked like a harmless song. Until the FBI examined her two and a half years in search of obscenities

by

It is very possible that there have been numerous songs in the history of pop that have deserved a exhaustive monitoring by the FBI. When rock’n’roll was considered a poison that destabilized youth, The songs abounded qualified by parents and educators as obsceneeven many that today sound harmless. But none reached the extreme of being investigated for two and a half years by an incomprehensible letter … In case the flies. In 1963, ‘Louie Louie’, a modest song performed by The Kingsmen Group and that was a previous version of Richard Berry in 1955 It became one of the greatest successes in the history of pop music. Sold millions of copies, forming such a notorious phenomenon that He caught the attention of FBI himself. The reason? The lyrics were so confusing that it suggested that it could include pernicious hidden messages. And that the original trail of the song came by long. Berry, in fact, had inspired a Cuban bole The title ‘El Loco Cha-Cha’. The lyrics of Berry’s version He talked about A sailor who sails back to Jamaicawhere his girl awaits him. Its simplicity (a single riff throughout the song) made Berry himself value it too much and sold the rights to the Flip Records record. In this way the song would circulate as a repertoire song, with groups like The Wailers versioning it before The Kingsmen. Interestingly, the singer of these, Jack Ely, had only heard the song once previously in a Jukebox And the melody caught badly, with what The Kingsmen song is slightly different from all the abovereceiving a special air, as a counterpoint touched. When his manager saw that the band spent an hour and a half concert playing only that song, he decided that he had to record it urgently. For that same reason, it was decided that they would try to recreate the sound of a live interpretation, hang the micros from the ceiling and with all the instruments sounding at the same time. The recording was full of problems: Ely wore orthodontics and was barely understood. And the instrumentalists did not listen to their voice, so each one goes to their air: hence the famous mistake in the 1:57 minute, when Ely advances to his entrance after the single and the battery filled his mistake with a redouble while the rest of the musicians continue. They believed that it could be correct, but there was no time to record more shots. To positive. The FBI arrives The success, which led the song to sell a million copies in its first year of life, of course, caught the attention of different associations of parents and leagues of decency that they wanted to ban it for its indecent content. Although no one was very clear about what exactly the indecency consisted. Because The singer was not even remotely understood. Although imagination could distinguish a slight Fuck Murmured half -song. The Governor of Indiana ended up prohibiting its dissemination in 1964 for its “obscene content”, which redoubled its attraction for youth. The politician came to say that his ears “buzzed” when he listened to the song, which undoubtedly turned the film into a demonic object. This triggered moral panic and led the song to get the attention of the government. The inquiries They ended up to the FBI: Cryptographers were hired by analyzing each sound And, of course, the singer was interrogated on numerous occasions. Officially, the FBI declared that the song was “incomprehensible at any speed.” But to heal in health, the seal that had edited the song published in the magazine ‘Broadcasting Magazine’, oriented to professionals and the industry, the full lyrics. So that there would be no trace of doubt. But the thing would not be there: a letter from an enraged father because of a letter “so obscene that he could not replicate it” caught the attention of Attorney General Robert Kennedy and the director of the FBI, J. Edgar Hoover. The investigation reopened, interviewed Richard Berry, the Kingsmen (curiously, there was no talk with Ely, who had left the band) and the record staff. Two and a half years later, the FBI concluded that the letter was so cryptic that it did not admit interpretations, and therefore, it was not obscene. In 2005, when ‘Louie Louie’ had become an impeccable monument in rock history, the controversy fled: the superintendent of a University of Michigan prevented the orchestra from playing ‘Louie Louie’ in a local march. There will always be paranoid delusions among high educational positionsIt is seen. Today the song is considered an icon whose influence on current rock is impossible to quantify: 4,000 versions of the theme have been counted and figure without possible discussion, again and again, in the periodic lists of the best songs of all time. Nothing bad to have been forbidden by the FBI.

Your mind can activate a loop song without asking you permission. Science knows why he does it … and why he doesn’t know how to stop

by

You are silent. Walking down the street, serving a coffee, looking distracted by the mobile. And suddenly … there is again. A melody you have not chosenbut who insists on returning. As a drop in the tap, as a notification that you cannot deactivate. In my case, it is the same song for a couple of days. Always the same part, as if the rest did not exist. It does not bother me, but it has made me think: why does this happen? Does our brain make sense, sometimes it works like a striped disk? What is exactly an Earworm. The Earworms – Also called “ear worms” – they are musical fragments that are installed in the head and repeat themselves again and again, without you chosen. The term comes from German Ohrwurm And today describes a mental phenomenon as recognizable as elusive. It is not something weird: As the National Medicine Library of the United States collectsup to 98% of the western population has ever experienced them. Most live them as a simple anecdotebut for some people they can become annoying or even distressing. We speak in a very specific way of spontaneous mental activity that science has been trying to understand. Why do some songs stuck. Earworms are the result of a combination of musical and neurological factors. The themes that are most repeated usually have simple structures, fast tempos and easy to hum melodies. This was revealed by a study led by musicologist Kelly Jakubowskiwhich analyzed more than 3,000 songs and found that those who stayed in their heads tended to have common melodic contours and a medium tempo faster than the rest. Among the most mentioned songs such as Earworms in Jakubowski’s study and his team, several Anglo -Saxon pop hits stand out. It is no accident: the work was done in the United Kingdom with English -speaking participants, so most of the topics that appear are in English. Even so, many of them have been true global successes, also known by the Spanish public: ‘Bad Romance’ – Lady Gaga ‘Can’t get you out of my head’ – Kylie Minogue ‘Don’s Stop Believin’ ‘ – Journey ‘Hoilebody That I used to know’ – Gotye ‘Moves Like Jagger’ – Maroon 5 ‘California Gurls’ – Katy Perry ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ – Queen ‘Alejandro’ – Lady Gaga ‘Poker Face’ – Lady Gaga The decisive occurs in the brain: the auditory cortex – the same one we use to listen to real music – is reactivated even when we simply imagine a song. The emotional state also influences: stress, distraction or nostalgia can open the door for a melody to be installed without prior notice. Auditory cortex Some minds are more prone to loop. Not everyone lives the Earworms the same. Some people barely notice them, while others suffer with intensity, as if the brain stayed in a loop. In most cases, Earworms are lived as a simple curiosity or even as something entertaining. But when the repetition becomes persistent and annoying, it can be a sign of something more serious. According to psychiatrist Srini PillayProfessor at Harvard’s Faculty, “these persistent loops can be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorders, migraines, unusual epilepsies, palinacousis, stroke or cerebral metastases.” It is not usual, but it can happen. What to do if you don’t want to keep listening to her. There is no magic formula to eliminate an EARWORM, but there are strategies that help. Curiously, try to block the song It is the least effective: the more struggles against her, the more she clings, a phenomenon described by Daniel Wegner as “ironic process.” Instead, accepting it without resistance usually works better. As the Kennedy center collectssome people choose to listen to the complete song; Others replace it with another melody. There are specialists who point to chew gum To interfere mental repetition. And you, what song isn’t you going from your head? Since I started investigating the Earworms, the song in my head has not disappeared. Now I know that I am not the only one, that there are reasons behind and that, deep down, that loop is part of how our brain works. And you? Have you ever had an Earworm that you couldn’t take off from your head? What was that song impossible to erase? Do you have any technique to take it off? We read you in the comments.

close parks to lime and song

by

Madrid. July. The thermometer Nourish with the 38ºC. The heat is so suffocating, so sticky, that you just feel like sitting in front of a fan with a soda to the side and wait for the hours to spend. ESO or seek refuge under a tree of El Retiro or any other of the parks of the capital, vast green, leafy areas, full of vegetation and that after all are designed for that, right? The problem is that when you get to El Retiro you find that it is closed. Its closure in the middle of the extreme heat wave seems absurd, a “common sense” measure, like They denounce Some neighbors and politicians. The City Council alleges however that allows it to avoid misfortunes derived precisely from high temperatures. The big question is … Is that true? And compensates? When the heat comes … Madrid needs shadows. So much, in fact, that has invested 1.5 million In euros to install Quita and Put at Puerta del Sol to prevent the square from becoming a roast. When heat really arrives and mercury goes from 35º, what many neighbors do, however it is to seek refuge in the parks of the municipality, such as Whim, THE ROSALEDA OF THE PARK OF THE WEST, Juan Carlos i, Arias Torre, Watercress source And of course the good retreat, 125 hectares with leafy trees and a vividifying shadow. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Refreshing Park, Closed Park. The problem is that these parks are not always open. It happened yesterday, July 7when in some points of the community 35ºC were exceeded. Despite that heat, the risks that suppose and the need for shadow, the City Council announced The closure of El Retiro and other parks already in the afternoon due to “adverse weather conditions”. A quick review of the official account of the Consistory in X arrives to verify that it is not something exceptional: today nine green areas of the city (the withdrawal included) maintain some restricted parts, just like Sunday. Saturday Several grove directly closed their gates from three in the afternoon, just when the sun squeezes. Something similar had already happened on Wednesday. Some time ago The Spanish newspaper He made accounts and calculated that between May 21, 2021 and May 25, 2022 the parks were totally or partially closed 161 daysthat is, 44% of the days. Almost one in two. Europa Press esteem that since May the parks have closed about 10 times. But … why? By “adverse weather conditions”, emphasizes the City Council, which usually accompanies each notice of a link to The web in which it details the protocol that follows to close the parks of the city. Its logic is quite simple: the City Council uses a ‘traffic light’ of four colors (green, yellow, orange and red) that identify the conditions of the parks and to what extent they are suitable for the enjoyment of citizens if the risks are taken into account. To assign one or the other it is based on data provided by the AEMET. The technicians make the forecasts setting specifically in the situation of El Retiro and according to such different issues, the temperature, the water in the soil or the risk of storms. Hence The City Council emphasizesthat its calculations do not always coincide with the forecasts of other areas of the city. The most serious situation, the “red alert”, implies that all the planned activities are suspended, the enclosure is evicted and the park closes. And when is it declared? A priori when The technicians foresee wind gusts equal to or greater than 65 km/h with maximum temperatures below 35ºC and a percentage of water available in the soil of less than 75%. Another possibility (which is applied in summer) is that the streaks pass 55 km/h, but with high temperatures, in which the maximums are above 35º. When this alert is activated in the retirement, it is transferred to other large green areas of the municipality and the whim, Jardines de Sabatini, the Rosebed of the West Park, Juan Carlos I, Juan Pablo II, Quinta de Fuente del Berro, fifth of the mills and fifth Torre Torre Arias, green hectares, green. Reviewing the newspaper library. It may seem excessive, but the Consistory remembers that the retreat is full of large and old trees, “so they can suffer damage or fractures in branches and trunks.” In fact the protocol applied by the City Council Refers to that risk in your name. Your goal? Basically manage “incidents caused by trees.” It is not a minor issue. In March 2018 A four -year -old boy died due to the impact of a pine who collapsed in retirement, May 30 A 25 -year -old was critical of the fall of a branch in a Carabanchel park and does alone A few weeks A woman was seriously injured after a tree fell on her when she left home. Rain or snowfall involves a risk. The mixture of wind and extreme heat, also. “Against common sense”. That the closure of the parks respond to a protocol does not prevent the measure from generating criticism. Both neighbors (they are easily in networks) as of opposition parties. A frequent complaint and that I recently remembered The Europa Press agency is that the municipal protocol goes “against common sense”: if the heat waves are a threat and the parks serve among other things to mitigate it, why do they close just when they do the most missing? No other alternatives in the middle of the cannula? The issue has unleashed an intense debate at a social and political level. More Madrid He has insisted in which “a reflection on the review of the protocol” must be opened and update the inventory of the trees. And the Socialists have advocated “risk maps” that takes into account the type of woodland and avoid the complete closures of parks, in addition to direct access to the Eugenio Trías … Read more

J Balvin shows his love with ‘Rio’, his new song

by

J Balvin has returned to the music scene with a song that, beyond being a song, is presented as a window into his personal and emotional life. “Rio,” the first single from his upcoming album, not only demonstrates his artistic evolution, but also his connection to the most significant aspects of his life. The music video, recorded in an intimate and personal way, shows scenes from his daily life with his partner, the Argentine model and actress Valentina Ferrer, and his son. These images reflect moments of genuine connection and familiarity, moving away from the typical luxuries of the genre to focus on everyday experiences that many can recognize as their own. With introspective lyrics, Balvin opens his heart to reflect on the value of gratitude and the importance of finding fulfillment in his own home. One of the most powerful phrases in the song, “Why look for on the street / What abounds in my house”, sums up this message of self-discovery and appreciation for what is essential. This approach also translates into the musical production, which combines soft reggaeton with melodic rhythms that captivate from the first moment. A surprise for Valentina Ferrer During a show in Paris, J Balvin surprised his partner and mother of his son, Rio, Valentina Ferrer, by presenting the song accompanied by its emotional video. The Colombian artist shared the reaction of the model, who, visibly moved, could not hold back her tears as she approached to hug him in the middle of the concert, making it clear how much this special gesture meant to her. “I love you, you know ♥️… ‘Rio’, a song that comes from the heart and that you can now enjoy with your partners and families🙏”expressed the Colombian through his social networks. In the comments, Ferrer responds: “I love you so much !!! “To continue enjoying and growing as a family” Regarding the context of his career, “Rio” arrives at a time when Balvin is in a stage of introspection and gratitude. After the success of his album “Rayo” and with a world tour on the horizon, the singer seems to have found a balance between his professional and personal life. With this release, Balvin not only reaffirms his place as one of the most influential figures in reggaeton, but also demonstrates that sometimes music can be a bridge between art and personal authenticity.
