BoneyManíac Amig @ s @ s:
I left you a selection of videos featuring legendary performances by Boney M. It is possible that the vast majority of pictures that I post on the blog and you have seen. However, despite a sometimes viewing videos in repetidísimas Boney M., one can not fail to enjoy the view as if for the first time.
been 35 years since Boney M. was released to the world, and yet, in this 2011 still enjoy the magic that emerge in each and every one of his greatest hits.
Serve this collection of videos as a small tribute to my dear Robert and ultimately the group and its legion of followers, which are not few. Enjoy! Valen
Since we speak out against the recent statement issued by the office of management and the DOE-2 Shows Only agency in reference to Boney M. That letter is presented below:
Bobby Farrell, the dancer of the group Boney M from its inception until 1989, who died on December 30, 2010, no part of the group Boney M since splitting the same in the year 1989.
The joint tour for over 20 years with the name of Boney M, with the legally registered name, deeply regrets the death of Bobby Farrell, but by no means his death affects the activity of the group, as Farrell part of the same.
Boney M continues to tour in 2011 and is at your disposal.
For our part say that with respect to the note on recent dates from DOE-2, claiming to be the owner of the trademark Boney M for 20 years, and Bobby Farrell was part of a Boney M from 1989 to date, we must clarify following points:
1) Boney M brand is owned by music producer Frank Farian since the creation of the musical group Boney M. 35 years ago.
2) After the band split in 1989, the trademark owner Boney M., ceded the rights to use its brand to Liz Mitchell, a former original member of the group Boney M.
3) Subsequently, by court order, was also granted the right to the use of the mark Boney M. three other original members of the group, Bobby Farrell, Marcia Barrett and Maizie Williams. So, Bobby Farrell has continued performing in various musical using the name Boney M featuring Bobby Farrell Show from the ruling of that court decision until the day of his death dated December 30, 2010, being the day before, 29 December, last performed using the name of Boney M.
Therefore, the training provided by DOE-2 as Boney M is not the creator or owner of the trademark has not obtained any permission from Frank Farian to exploit, nor correspond to any of the old original members who are les granted the right to act under the brand name Boney M. through judicial decision cited above. In turn, is completely false that Bobby Farrell did not act under the name Boney M. Over the past 20 years because they did until the day before his death.
is shameful that after only 4 days since the funeral of Bobby Farrell, the speculation about the authenticity of an artist who has been the icon, not just the group Boney M., but a musical genre such as music Disco. Absolute feel embarrassed for people who not only want to put into question the original and artistic training, but are also able and dare to supplant a brazenly Boney M.
These actions should be unacceptable and intolerable, as well as confuse the public are profiting from the name Boney M., a name that never belonged to them.
Of all the reviews I've written so far, without a doubt this is the one I have cost to produce. It is obvious that the emotions wash over me when I recall the protagonist of the story inevitable.
I find few pi is high, in a plane between Ámste rdam and Barcelona. As recently as three hours saying goodbye to one of my friends, a person you never forget and will live forever in my mind and heart: Roberto Alfonso.
Believe it or not, despite all that happened, I still can not believe that the next time you go home (because as he always said "your house is my home") or calls to mobile, I will have hear from you.
Since the tragic events pass over or December 30 to the present, has been very hard to accept that "the component of Boney M." had died. Apart from some media that "mocked" the figure of an artist who was no longer among us, fortunately has been shown and proven that Bobby was a great artist, someone I've made a mythical age as was the era of "Disco" 70's.
again immersed in the reality d you the facts and given the intense, real and special friendship Bobby joined me, could not miss her funeral, as it would be a great tribute which I could comment and live with Moi, who has not wanted to miss the farewell.
Although the ceremony was scheduled for Friday, January 6, for organizational reasons finally h to held on Saturday. However, I decided to travel to the Netherlands two days in advance to being reunited with my good friends Peter, Mark, Wendy and Casper.
The trip and stay in the Netherlands has been this time a very intense experience. Nothing more to earthen in Schiphol Airport, a Dutch newspaper I had an interview, which has already been published and I will show briefly in this blog.
next day (Friday) is expected very strong emotions. And it was. Mark, Wendy, Peter and I moved from Rotterdam to the Dutch capital to meet with some very special things for us. You can imagine the poker face to us was when, on entering the door of the restaurant saw Liz, Marcia and Maizie together, 21 years after the final dissolution of Boney M. With them were their husbands and managers. Liz and Marcia (which I have sort of known) was founded with me a big hug. I told them: "It's wonderful to see you together," and Marcia could answer "is wonderful to reunirno s but too bad it is for the circum stances already know." One by one I greet the staff. Thomas Pemberton, Marcus James, Donovan Nelson ("piece" plays an important role of some importance in Boney M.) and Miss Black and Beautiful Maizie Williams, who at 59 years is absolutely beautiful, like the famous title from obstenta adolescence. Montserrat from the Caribbean was very affectionate with me (Liz and Marcia told him about me because until then we had not met in person). He later joined the dinner the artist George Mc Crae, Jetty Weels (who, along with Edna and Maureen accompanied Bobby until his last performance in St. Petersburg) and Dagmar Englebrect, the creator of whimsical clothes that Boney M. paced all r drawbacks of the world, as their music ay magic.
While the dinner progressed, the team of the radio program "La Ventana " Chain Being contacted me to intervene in a space dedicated to the memory of Bobby. Despite the nervousness, the moment I was living and the loss go reparable loss we suffered, cre or that my intervention was not all bad. Those who have heard the interview you can judge.
Two hours later a Dutch radio station I was on a live interview.
My answers to the media is obvious: if I speak of art ist talk about Bobby, but if I talk about the person, talk about Roberto. Because of my affection and deep friendship, Roberto RESALC figure above entertainment "show-business." Wanted to make or his humility and humanity was beyond the more than 150 million records sold over the course of Boney M.
After dinner and intense conversation with the three ladies, the clock indicated the time we go to sleep. The next day we had a special farewell.
At 10am in the morning Saturday January 8 were all (Moi arrived the night before) to the gates of Stadsschouwburg Theatre in Amsterdam, to pay tribute to the person who had gathered for a special occasion. That's when the feelings surfaced in us. Upon entering the interior of the theater I found Zanillya (daughter of Bobby) who hugged tightly and I conveyed my deepest love pés. From the first moment , Zanillya been concerned to stay informed promptly to avoid fa ltar the funeral of his father. She is like a sister to me (and I for her). Then I could hug Jasmina (former wife of Bobby ) Who was also affected by the facts. And so I could hug to Mary (mother of Bobby) and all siblings and children). A very emotional ceremony.
The ceremony was about to begin. The three ladies appeared with their respective husbands, and even a shy and discreet Tsiboe Reggie, who spent quite unnoticed by the audience. It was time for pictures or autographs, reasons why I left my camera at home. It was time to pay homage to the choir and swim like real "Daddy Cool" Bobby Farrell.
Minutes before the start of the event, friends known and lamented the absence of producer Frank Farian. Finally did not attend the funeral, although he had contacted Zanillya last night.
Everything was ready. The lights went out and began the fitting tribute that we all expected. Although by now you have seen images on the net, I can assure you that nothing can compare to the experience in the theater. The ceremony was carefully organized. Aruba 1st minister gave his speech including raising the figure of Bobby as "a great Aruban who led his country wherever he went." There was a monologue by a great comedian, a moving message of the speaker who first met a very young Bobby in his native Aruba, Zanillya emotive messages at the figure of his father, live music with incredible ballads of George Mc Crae (You so beautiful) and Gibson Brothers (Hey Jude), among others. And all this interwoven with videos where Bobby pulling big smiles appeared to the audience, and why not say, real loud, with the commentaries to which we had always used.
There were two moments of genuine emotion. John Lee played a particular "Sunny" ending with the refrain "Bobby, one so true, we love you." The public put up apl audiendo excited as we watched the background photo was in the scene where he prayed "Daddy Cool - Bobby Farrell."
and But l tribute emotional ecstasy reached when Maizie, Marcia and Liz went to the theater stage. Each gave his particular speech. Maizie said that Bobby was for her as a brother, who always came to him for advice. Liz said that every night Bobby came to his room (this comment elicited some smiles) and she read him passages from the Bible , while he was smoking his cig arrillo. Marcia remembered how often I had to remove the proceedings to Bobby hit it with their private dances. But above all, the three women said outright that they wanted, they want it and will want forever and ever. Then f undieron is a big hug filled with tears that stood up to all the people who had come to say their last goodbye to Bobby.
is a real shame to see the original members of Boney M. 22 years together then ... but one is missing. The saddest part was knowing that had already begun the process of meeting the original lineup for this 2011. You read that right. Donavon Nelson (one of the architects of the album Boney M. Reunion 88 and Maizie manager) had contacted all the components to reconnect. Paradoxically Bobby was most pleased and happy I was for what was to come, till death crossed his path. Sometimes fate is capricious.
The ceremony at the theater ended with the song "Daddy Cool" mixed with different pictures of Bobby on stage with Boney M. To all this I would add something I have overlooked before. The coffin containing the remains was Bobby on stage, surrounded by flowers.
Then the hearse with the c uerpo Bobby moved to the cemetery where he would be fired for the last time. So there we went Moi and I, accompanied by family and friends. Maizie, Marcia, Liz and Reggie does not want to miss the chance to say their last goodbye to who was his companion of battles on stage.
Moi and I had a strange feeling. Somehow we were living a farewell to a stage of a cycle, the end of Boney M.? It is quite true that Boney M. is the combination of magic, music, image and charisma. But by Bob has always had an important weight in the group. And with his departure, and will not be the same. Although girls and Reggie to meet again, nothing will ever be the same. So, as we feared, something special has gone with Bobby.
Upon completion of all acts, we close with a great emotional burden of the family of Bobby. Jasmine, Zanillya (whom we made delivery of all messages sent on your part), Maria, Francisca, everyone was very grateful po our assistance. For me it was especially exciting to listen to each and every one of the family of Bobby say, Bobby always said you were like a son to him. Bobby always talking about you. In short, too many emotions for a sad day.
Moi from the cemetery and I went to the hotel for despedirno s of Peter, Mark, Wendy Maizie, Marcia and Liz. The three girls from Boney M. were very affectionate with us, especially Liz. For its part, Marcia said goodbye with a hug and a "through February."
In the lobby of the hotel where they stayed most of the guests I met Maureen, whom I have great esteem, since I've known for ten years. Maureen cried deeply the loss of stro new dear friend. "Another blow that gives you life" - she said between sobs.
Minutes after Moi dismissed me as my plane was leaving soon headed for Barcelona.
I tried to describe everything I've lived in these days of great intensity. More than likely I have forgotten the odd detail, so I apologize. I know many of you You might have wanted to be in the departure of Bobby. I have therefore tried to be moving this writing, that somehow, at some point you have been with Moi and me firing an artist and friend who will never forget.

Valentine intimate friend of the artist is there and this sad occasion is absent from the blog to give you the latest news - as it always does - especially what happens around the group Boney M.
