He's Bacccckkkkkkk!

Ahhhhh it was great having Ridha take a break from all the things the business that keeps him away from Second Life and perform a show at Koeln Lounge. As usual, the audience was spellbound as he wove in and out of each song like a precision driver at the Indianapolis 500. My highlight was just seeing how happy people were that Ridha was back in Second Life.

Birthday Wishes

Our good friend Lemania Indigo, who in real life is an incredibly talented artist, celebrated her birthday in grand style yesterday in Second Life with a party and concert by none other than, Ridha! It was a great time, the SIM was full the entire night as party goers swayed to Ridha's music. A little stream issue in Second Life stopped the music for just a few minutes, otherwise we do believe Ridha would have sang straight through. Dancing, dancing dancing was the order of the day but by far Ridha's original tune "All I Need is You" brought down the house. Great show--great fun! Happy Birthday dear Lemania!
Thanks to Alishaba for grabbing some of these great shots!

Koeln Lounge Beauty

Ridha recently performed at the Koeln Lounge and my bad, I didn't blog it. My only excuse is this...like the people in attendance it is such a personal experience to hear Ridha. When he sings, I imagine, like everyone in attendance that each and every song is meant just for you. What a beautiful concert...hearing Bobby Vee's song "I Love You More Than I Can Say" always sends a chill down my spine. As always Ridha, like all your fans, I treasure every concert and every moment you take to share your musical gift with us.

Back to the 80's

The 1980’s brought us two revolutions in the music industry…MTV and the compact disc. It also brought us a wide diversity of music including new wave, rap, techno pop and metal. Last night in the SIM Greece Digital, Ridha celebrated this unique musical decade in song at their “Back to the 80’s” party sponsored by Radio Apodrasi (www.radioapodrasi.gr ) and the management of Greece Digital. Because of this, Ridha was not only performing before a large Second Life crowd, but for people around the world on the radio station’s stream. (Rumor has it his brother Walid was tuned in from Tunsia.) Ridha had the house rocking from the first note he hit and spent the rest of the evening weaving a tapestry of song that had the crowd wanting for more. It was a great party—lots of energy and people from all over the world enjoying a little bit of musical nostalgia. As always, Ridha made one more night in our lives special.

Music Videos in Production!

Ridha has spent the last few weeks shooting music videos for his new CD across Northern Italy. He thought you might enjoy seeing some of the behind the scenes shots of the production. Keep checking back as he will be giving you sneak peeks of the videos here!

April in Koelne Lounge

Wednesday Ridha did his April concert in Koeln Lounge and it was very memorable for many reasons. As usual he held the audience captive with his sweet song stylings. Here are some real time pictures of the concert from Ridha’s point of view—I’m sure you will enjoy seeing behind the scenes!

HOPE

It was called a concert for HOPE. As people from SL gathered to celebrate the brave battle people make daily with their fight for Cancer and the loved ones who stand by them through their journey. Ridha took the stage and soon the SIM filled…after Lemania let a few more people shoehorn in, the concert was in full swing. Ridha weaved together a set of songs that set everyone’s heart afire. So many highlights as always, but my personal favorite was his rendition of” Summertime”, people are still amazed at this mans versatility and range. I try not to be surprised but I always am. Can you imagine Ridha being anything but a singer? No, me either. Let’s keep supporting this amazing talent and let him know how much we appreciate his gift of music he shares with us. Also, remember all who suffer with cancer and anything that will break their bodies and spirit.

Thanks to Lemania for hosting the concert and thank you MagicMirror Fayray for snapping these great shots! Most of all thank you dearest Ridha.
