Cossacks. In 1832 the settlement was granted a town status and renamed Akmolinsk. Further na
me-changes Tselinograd (1961), Akmola (1992), Astana (1998). Astana means "capital city" in Ka

Our Host venue is the Kazakhstan Central Concert Hall in Astana, Kazakhstan. It is
a multi-function center for performing arts which was designed by Italian architect Manfredi Nic
oletti, & was inaugurated by the President of Kazakhtsan , Nursultan Nazarbayev , on the nation's
Independence Day (15th of December - in 2009). The building’s shape evokes the dynamism of a
flower's petals. The building's external structure comprise a series of curved inclined walls made
of concrete with a blue backpainted glasspanels cladding.Those structures protect the building's
interior functions from Astana’s harsh weatherconditions. The building features a 30m high foyer
that extends over 3.000 square meters, which is intended to create an urban-scale internal public
square , that could welcome the citizens of Astana through the entire year . The building contains
3 different music halls & also encloses restaurants shops & bars. The main Concert hall for 3.500
seats is one of the biggest of its kind & is capable of hosting a multitude of different events, from
classical to popmusic, ballet & conferences thanks to its acoustic flexibility. This flexibility is prod
uced by a system of acoustic curtains & a special false ceiling design ( a 'black-hole' ) , which abs
orbs most of the hall's acoustic reflections. Among many very wellknown events the International
Astana Action Film Festival was held there in 2010. They are proud to host the FSC-Spin Off today

Re: FSC Spin-Off - November 2018: "Best Of: Duets" - The Show

For FSC-newcomers, here in the FSC Spin-Offs, in contrast to the main FSC-editions, it is possible and allowed to post a promotion of your entry with video and say lyrics here in the FSC Show-thread. The reason is that we don't have separate country-forums for promotions here in the Spin-Off section nor a separate FSC Promotion thread like we have for main promotions in the main FSC-section. So if you wish, please promote away! xup

:fi: Finland - Heidi Parviainen (Dark Sarah) & JP Leppäluoto - Dance With The Dragon


FSC November 2018 Spin-Off: ‘Best Of: Duets’

Lyrics


I am bringing you something ' special ' to the FSC Spin-Off this time . A dramatic song by Finnish artists
Heidi Parviainen (of Dark Sarah) & JP Leppäluoto. I do simply adore this song and I never tire of it. I love
‘ The Phantom of the Opera ’ & also epic Symphonic Metal , and this song in many ways does embody a
magical symbiosis of the two, in style & execution. I'm very happy to be able to share it with you all here
in this final FSC Spin-Off in 2018. Hope you will enjoy it - perhaps some of you will fall in love with it too!

xheart xcheer xheart

FSC Spin-Off "Best of Duets"

:id: Indonesia
:id:

▀▄▀▄▀▄ Melly Goeslaw feat. Krisdayanti - "Cinta"▄▀▄▀▄▀





This incredibly poetic and melancholic song is possibly one of the best Indonesian duet ever.
Composed by Melly Goeslaw herself, this song tells a story of two people who love each other so much despite so many obstacles between them.
In the end, the listeners will be left with questions on whether or not this love survives.

Enjoy!

Lyrics translation (English):

Re: FSC Spin-Off - November 2018: "Best Of: Duets" - The Show

Important: The wrong video (underneath correct titled banner) for the :ua: Ukrainian entry (nr 9) was posted by mistake above in the Spin-Off Show, sorry for that. It was only discovered tonight. It has now been replaced by the correct video - and the 6 countries that had already voted have been asked by PM to re-send their final votes having also listened to and considered the correct entry from Ukraine. This is done for fairness so we get correct results. Thanks, everyone for assisting in this unfortunate situation xrose xhug

:cy: :cy: :cy:

Anna Vissi & Nikos Karvelas - Metra


One of the many duets the two made throughout the years and my personal favorite. They were a married couple for many years (1983-1992) and they have a daughter together. Nikos Karvelas is the composer of the majority of Anna Vissi's songs, including "Everything" (ESC :gr: 2006). Despite being divorced for so many years, Nikos Karvelas still writes music for her and the two maintain a very good relationship.
