Rum a Coca-Cola – Mahler Marek (2018)

Human energy is born from euphoria or frustration. At the beginning of the 20th century, the modern era emerged, definitively breaking the existing order, ushering in a period of ecstasy and depression, immensely creative and dangerous. The song Rum and Coca-Cola by The Andrews Sisters motivated American soldiers during World War II. Music is like a drug: it can soothe like heroin or energize like cocaine, just like any true art. In Spain, they say 'Si, si.' In France, you will hear 'Oui, oui.' Every Dutch girl says 'Ya, ya.' Every young Russian woman says 'Da, da.' But, darling, I still have no idea, No matter how I try, Why you don't say 'Yes' to me, very much, In any language I know. The Andrews Sisters: Say Si Si. Marek Mahler was born on March 3, 1966, in Prague. He studied at the Czech Technical University and then worked as a programmer in a bank. Since the mid-90s, he has been trading in art objects and has operated an auction house for several years. He has written the books Exiles from Paradise, Bubble World, and Project Heresy – the latter was published in 2011 and included in the lending collection of the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford.
