Grenada (i/ɡrᵻˈneɪdə/; French: La Grenade) is an island country consisting of Grenada itself and six smaller islands at the southern end of the Grenadines in the southeastern Caribbean Sea. Grenada is located northwest of Trinidad and Tobago, northeast of Venezuela, and southwest of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Grenada is also known as the "Island of Spice" because of the production of nutmeg and mace crops, of which it is one of the world's largest exporters. Its size is 344 square kilometres (133 sq mi), with an estimated population of 110,000. Its capital is St. George's. The national bird of Grenada is the critically endangered Grenada dove.
In 1649 a French expedition of 203 men from Martinique led by Jacques du Parquet founded a permanent settlement on Grenada. Within months this led to conflict with the local islanders which lasted until 1654 when the island was completely subjugated by the French. Those indigenous islanders who survived either left for neighbouring islands or retreated to remoter parts of Grenada where they were marginalised—the last distinct communities disappeared during the 1700s.
The Barricades (Latvian: Barikādes) were a series of confrontations between Latvia and forces loyal to the Soviet Union in January 1991 which took place mainly in Riga. The events are named for the popular effort of building and protecting barricades from 13 January until about 27 January. Latvia, which had declared restoration of independence from the Soviet Union a year earlier, anticipated that Soviet Union might attempt to regain control over the country by force. After attacks by the Soviet OMON on Riga in early January, the government called on people to build barricades for protection of possible targets (mainly in the capital city of Riga and nearby Ulbroka, as well as Kuldīga and Liepāja). Six people were killed in further attacks, several were wounded in shootings or beaten by OMON. Most victims were shot during the Soviet attack on the Latvian Ministry of the Interior on January 20. One other person died in a building accident reinforcing the barricades. Casualties among Soviet loyalists are considered likely, but the exact number remains unknown. A total of 15,611 people have registered as having been participants of the Barricades.

Spandau Ballet - Through The Barricades ( The Reformation Tour 2009)
Top 2009 In Concert afspeellijst: http://bit.ly/52SLMB Jamie Cullum, Rowwen Heze, Spandau Ballet... De opnames voor 'Top 2000 In Concert 2009' waren knallend. Heen Al op de heenreis in de trein zit de stemming er goed in. Top 2009 In Concert-gangers pik je er zo uit: ze zijn feestelijk gekleed, zelden alleen en je ziet aan alles dat ze er zin in hebben. 'Spandau Ballet, daar heb ik zin in!' 'Ah nee, die zijn oud, Ruth Jackott, dat is pas een lekker ding!' Er wordt hartelijk gelachen. HMH De Heineken Music Hall is bij binnenkomst groot als altijd, maar anders dan bij sommige 'gewone' concerten is de sfeer intiem en vooral: gezellig! De ruimte heeft met alle mooi geklede en enthousiaste mensen meer weg van een Grand Café op oudejaarsavond dan van een concerthal. Wel een sjiek Gra...

This song is a Romeo & Juliet-style love story set in a troubled Northern Ireland. A boy and a girl, one a Catholic and one a Protestant, betray their families and their upbringing to meet on the bomb sites and the no-man's land between divided communities. The setting is given away by the drum and pipe marching music, so reminiscent of the parades mentioned in the second chorus. Like Shakespeare's play, there is a tragic ending. The "Hearts go to their graves," but it is not clear whether this refers metaphorically to the end of the affair or a suicide pact. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=6221
Spandau Ballet anno 1986. Il testo parla di una storia d'amore tra una ragazza e un ragazzo di religione opposta nell'Irlanda del Nord martoriata dalla guerra civile tra cattolici e protestanti. La storia d'amore, osteggiata dalle famiglie dei due, sembra avere un finale tragico. Enjoy

From "Looking East" (1996) Running down around the towns along the shore When I was sixteen and on my own No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for I was just trying to hear my song Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar We'd all get in the van and play Life became the paradox, the bear, the rouge et noir And the stretch of road running to la Pages turning Pages we were years from learning Straight into the night our hearts were flung Better bring your own redemption when you come To the barricades of heaven where I'm from All the world was shining from those hills The stars above and the lights below Among those there to test their fortunes and their wills I lost track of the score long ago Pages turning Pages we were years from learning Straight ...
Grenada Travel Video Guide - Christopher Columbus discovered Grenada in 1498. The island was already inhabited by the Carib Indians, who had migrated from the South American mainland, killing or enslaving the peaceful Arawaks who were already inhabitants there. The Amerindians called their island Camerhogue, but Columbus renamed it Concepción. However, travelling Spanish sailors found its lush green hills so evocative of Andalusia that they rejected this name in favor of Granada. Over the centuries, although control of the island passed from France to Britain (and briefly back to France again), the name endured with just the slightest of alterations, changing from "Granada" to "La Grenade" to "Grenada". The French were the first to settle and travel to Grenada. Legend holds that in 1652 ...

Mother doesn't Know where love has gone
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
See it her face that's turned to ice
And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
And now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade, and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.
Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
They taught me what to say in school
I learned it of by heart but now that's torn in two
And now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade,
and we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades.
