Everybody Knows... Leonard Cohen

Friday August 10 at Teatro Luna Azul we will be showing Leonard Cohen in Concert in London, a brilliant show of his latest tour in Europe. 

A one of a kind singer-songwriter, musician, poet, Leonard Cohen has been pleasing audiences worldwide with his stunningly creative lyrics and melodies for over four decades.  His songs are really poems that stand the test of time. 

Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon) in terms of influence, he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century.

Included in both the American and Canadian Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, Cohen was recently honored alongside Chuck Berry as the recipients of the first annual PEN Awards for songwriting excellence in February 2012.  

Famous renditions of his songs have been done by Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Rita Coolidge, Elton John, Neil Diamond,  Joan Baez, Don Henley,  Dion, Sting, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris.

Leonard Cohen on himself: "I don't consider myself a pessimist at all. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel completely soaked to the skin." 

Special Thai dinner at 6:30pm, movie at sunset.
