The Singer Luis Vagner

I was introduced to Luis Vagner by my friend Luis Carlos. Luis made me a cassette record playlist with music that was very special for him and that he loved very much. Within the tape there was this song, Mama África ,  that I myself was very fond of, and couldn't help to play it all the time.

                                         Mama África  -

One of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen was in which Luis Vagner was embracing  his partner, the actress Angela Correia,  and his little son. The three were naked. I made a copy and put it in my house.

My girlfriend Simone Barros came to my home and was shocked when she saw the picture. Simone was the current partner of Luis; she would introduce me to Luis Vagner in person- and to Buddhism.

 In my opinion, every person has a word, like a mantra, that we associate with other people. In the case of Luis, it wasn't just a simple word. The word expressed an attitude: SMILE. Luis always had a  smile on his face, and we always felt as though a bright light shined on us bringing us joy.

But what is the history of this fascinating man?
Vagner Luis Dutra Lopes ( April 20, 1948), better known by the stage name Luis Vagner, is a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist. He was born in the city of  Bagé, son of Sulema and Vicente Lopes. His father played Jazz, Choro, Mambos, guitar, and was in Brazialian Copacabana Serenadors orchestra. 

His first guitar was present from his grandfather Romario Lopes Brazil, a photographer, minister  and flutist, and since then he sought music on his own way. Still young, he left home to live in University City in Santa Maria, where he met several musicians like Cauby Peixoto, Lupicínio Rodrigues, among others. During that time, he listened to Severino Araújo and Tabajara Orchestra, as well as musicians like Zé Bodega, which greatly influenced his choice of artistic career.

Scoring Instructions For the Test

   Type A - Contemporary Conventional

This type of home is best exemplified by the average real estate dealer's offering in a city or suburban development. House is usually pretty new, though it may need some repairs. Designed for efficiency in modern life, although rooms are likely to be small and boxlike compared with older houses. Many electrical gadgets to reduce the drudgery of household chores.

You may be able to mutually "enjoy" home-clean, convenient- but not inspiring in spirit.

Type D - " Barn into a House"

Type E- " House into a Barn"

This type of house is large, amorphous and follows no set style or design- although at one time it may have. Occupant is one who wants room and freedom from restrictions and social pressures of all kinds. House may have been an old mansion in a currently unfashionable part of town, now repaired and functional, more than ever before. Very little reflection of the occupant's personality except for its practicableness and haphazard style. Has an air of informality- nothing done for the impression it will make. A good place to work, rest, and pursue special interests. maximum of space, minimum of planning and care.

scoring points 2,8,14,16,23,28,33,40,45,47,55,59,62,67,73,80,85,90,94,97,103,109,114,120,122.

Evaluate your test

21 or more points: A definite compatibility between your personality and interest pattern and the type of home indicated. Spend a good bit of time investigating these possibilities further in the light of your own situation.

16 to 20 points: This type of home should receive consideration too. But keep a wary eye open for characteristics in the house that might not quite suit you.

11 to 15 points: This type of home has both advantages and disadvantages about being evenly balanced for you.

6 to 10 points: There are substantial elements in your interest and personality patterns that do not fit this type of home very well. If this does not seem to agree with your personal feelings, check into the situation carefully.

0 to 5 points: Such a wide discrepancy between your personality and interest patterns and those that appear to be suited to this type of house suggests that you spend most of your time and effort considering types of houses on which you made higher scores.
