Miliki’s magial loft

THE PLANET CACHIBU

Planet Cachibu is an exoplanet where the inhabitants of Earth throw their rubbish into a enormous canyon in a desperate attempt to dispose of the waste that has invaded their seas and oceans.

Miliki, whose stay on Earth has come to an end and is looking for a place to retire and rest, lands on the distant planet and is surprised to discover that it is inhabited by very strange and amusing beings: The Cachibus. The tiny inhabitants are about to leave their little planet, which is drowning in the garbage from Earth, but Miliki convinces them that they can recycle it, treat organic waste to cultivate gardens, and reuse old objects to convert them into useful and fun things.

Together, they’re going to make the planet a clean, green, and sustainable place. But Miliki didn’t come alone. In addition to his faithful friend Dron Pepito, a homemade drone, he carries under his arm a bottonless suitcase full of music, magic, laughter, stories, and joy. The Cachibús are delighted with the new arrival, and Miliki is also happy with his new friends, but there are some little people he misses a lot… Miliki left his grandchildren Miliki Jr. and Susanita on Earth and misses the time he spent with them and the adventures they had together. As luck would have it, Dron Pepito can connect with Dron José, the drone that he left with the children before starting his long journey.

Communication between Earth and Planet Cachibu is constant and Miliki can continue to be close to his grandchildren, enjoy their adventures and share his day-to-day life with them, despite being thousands of miles away. In Miliki’s Loft, there is much more. But Miliki’s Loft isn’t just the adventures of Planet Cachibu.

In addition to the adventures of Miliki, Susanita, Miliki Jr. and the Cachibus, the loft is full of songs, stories, and entertaining sections starring our characters.

– Miliki’s old songs, and a couple of new ones, fill the loft with catchy melodies, fun compositions and rhythm.

– The stories told by the unforgettable voice of Miliki transport listeners to worlds full of fantasy and incredible characters, where anything is possible.

– Susanita’s curiosity about a variety of topics tests the patience and wisdom of Raton Colorao over and over again.

– In Fun Words, Miliki teaches Miliki Jr. and Susanita how much fun playing with language can be.

– In the Music Loft, Miliki takes the children on a journey through the different rhythms and music of the world, teaching them the instruments and the great composers.

– Captain Bebo takes us on exciting adventures to unimaginable places at the helm of his walnut-shell boat.

– And after so many emotions and adventures comes Respira, the time to relax and get ready for bed. We’ll need our strength for the next day.

Third single from the album La Vuelta al Mundo

I was born in Havana, and although I have travelled a lot and made the customs of other cultures my own; my home has been a perfect symbiosis between Spain and Cuba. When I was a child, Fabada and Congrí coexisted perfectly, guaracha and sevillanas, Beny Moré and Miguel de Molina. Whenever I listened to el Bárbaro del Ritmo, I thought: that man must be a happy man. Those songs can only be born from happiness. If we link this idea to the adagio that reminds us that it is better to go to bed without eating than to wake up in debt, these songs fulfill a promise to my mother, Rita, and Aruca. Here I offer these songs, which are the fruits of happiness.

Battle of the Giants 2019

In 2019 Battle of the Giants returns to become the biggest benefit concert of the year and does so in the name of a huge challenge at a time of climate crisis: WATER

Water is our first nourishment

The idea is simple: our body (70% percent water) could not absorb the nutrients needed to have a healthy life without safe water.

Without water it is also not possible to grow food, or keep the livestock that feed the planet.

But we’re losing water.

In 2030, 700 million people will have had to abandone their homes due to the drought.

2100 million people, mainly women, fight a battle of giants to get water. They walk kilometers to reach a well. Girls leave school for it.

Not only is it far: there is less and less. In Africa, in Asia, in Latin America… the drought is drying the soils and aquifers. And scratching the little water there is already is one of the main battles of giants in the world.

We need giants to help great women and men who fight a battle every day to get the water with which to overcome hunger.

Pepe Maní Bebo San Juan

“Pepe Maní” is the first musical theme of the Bebo San Juan album “La vuelta al mundo”.

Battle of the Giants Concert

BATTLE OF THE GIANTS is a project by Action Against Hunger, based on an original idea from Emilio Aragón and with the executive production of Caribe Estudio.

Emilio Aragón: “In the summer of 2015, I listened to Lucha de Gigantes on my earphones while riding my bike. Recently, I had heard on the radio the news of the exodus of Syrian refugees seeking refuge in Europe. Listening to Antonio (Vega), my old friend, the images of all those people struggling to survive in so many parts of the world made its way into my mind. I had to stop. Lucha de Gigantes was giving voice to each of the individual struggles of all those who suffer. I thought about what we could do from Action Against Hunger to add giants to this struggle that claims the lives of 8,500 children every day, and from there this project was born, which has grown a little bigger every day and, today, is a giant.”

Carlos Vega: “The day when Emilio told me about the project he wanted to carry out with the image and repertory of Antonio, I thought that, at last, something important and deserved would be undertaken, at the level of talent, emotion and generosity that Antonio gave to all of us who knew and valued him. Finally, his music and poetry could prosper in a bigger, universal territory, and, at the same time, continue helping the many of us who believe that the world can and must be better, if we get involved and act from the empathy with those who suffer, from that necessary hope in human beings. BATTLE OF GIANTS reaches us, his family, as a project of affection, recognition and generosity that we receive with pride and deep emotion, and we will do our best to support him.”

Manuel Sánchez-Montero: “War and violence are today the main cause of the struggle of 821 million giants against HUNGER. 122 of the 155 million children with chronic malnutrition live in countries of conflict. Today we have the means and the knowledge to be able to make HUNGER history. We need the support of Giants (citizens, companies, gov-ernments) in order to end hunger for good.”

On October 5, 2018, a charity concert against HUNGER was performed at the Teatro Real opera house in Madrid.

A Night In Old Mexico

Forced to leave his ranch and land, Red Bovie (Robert Duvall, The Godfather) decides to take the car and travel to Mexico in search of adventure and fun with his grandson Gally (Jeremy Irvine, War Horse), whom he has just met. Gally is a twenty-year-old guy, lost and beaten by the present, who has run away from New York seeking out his origins.
A grandfather and grandson – two perfect strangers – begin a journey through their respective dreams (those fulfilled, those forgotten, those still yearned for) with a feverish stop in the Mexican night where they meet Patty (Angie Cepeda, El Amor en los Tiempos de Cólera), a stripper who finds in them the hope for a better life. On their journey, a dark character (Luis Tosar, Cell 211) will draw them paths that will take their lives in a new direction.
With Robert Duvall on a road-shock adventure and tequila. A story about the virtue of survival and each person’s right to choose their own ending.

Paper Birds

SYNOPSIS

Paper Birds tells the story of a group of vaudeville artists after war has taken away all but their hunger: musician Jorge del Pino, ventriloquist Enrique Corgo, cupletist Rocío Moliner, and Miguel, the orphan.

REFLECTIONS OF THE DIRECTOR

“I don’t know exactly when the idea of Paper Birds as a film was born. However, I can find moments of the story that is told within it, in many of the anecdotes and adventures that, throughout my life, I have heard at home, during the after-dinner moments, in celebrations, and also in everyday life.
Once again, I feel that the project chooses me and not the other way around. The atmosphere, the aroma, the backstage adventures of a varieté company are part of my personal imagination, and perhaps bringing them out and sharing them answer a vital need. Telling this story has allowed me to travel through places and emotions where I thought I had been before, this time with the imagination of a child, and the heart of a man.
Paper Birds aspires to be a journey towards the best of ourselves, a courageous bet on the love of life, looking at our own pain face on.”
