The last week was filled with concerts and jaiaks in Santurtzi. After spending a very windy late afternoon at the beach with Eva recovering from the night before and having to get up for school, we went for delicious Vietnamese food and then to see her Mother (who used to be the lead singer of Mocedades) perform in Santurtzi. She really has a beautiful voice. She performed some songs from Mocedades and some great classics translated into Spanish. I enjoyed seeing the concert with Eva.
On Saturday, I went to see Mago de Oz, a Spanish Rock/Folk band that was a mix between 80s hard rock and folk music consisting of rock fiddle and rock flute, in Baralkado with Jontxu (my roomie, not Eva's boyfriend), Sandra, Javi, Santi, David, Gorka, and Patri. One of the songs was reminiscent of The Final Countdown with interludes of rock flute and fiddle. The singers were big guys with big hair that could truly belt out a rock scream and head bang like there was no tomorrow. It was pretty awesome! You can see one of their singles here.
After the crazy concert in Baralkado, we went to the jaiaks in Santurtzi where there were SO many people. Unlike Wednesday, it was impossible to dance at the outdoor bars, or even move. But Sandra and I ran into her friend Pedro from Columbia so we went with his friend to practice my salsa skills...I'm still terrible. I may be a hopeless case when it comes to latin dance. Gora Santurtzi!
Hasta la proximá,
Kathlene
