secrete show!

As most of our shows have been on the streets of BsAs, it was a beautiful change to actually play in a bar. We called the show "from streets to seats" and it was in the incredible bar in Palermo that didn't even have a name but an address that you have to ring and they unlock the door for you. Inside was beautiful art work and interesting decor, complete with the lower halves of women, all legs and sexy stockings. We set up in a back room that was very Victorian style with beautiful wood and elegant chairs. Many of our close friends came and piled into the cozy intimate space. We had a wonderful time, the harmonies were beautifully mixing, and we even had a friend come and play the cajon (Peruvian box drum). A special surprise came when the brother of the cajon player showed up and danced the most incredible flamenco and they sang old flamenco songs - they kind of stole the show, but we were a nice contrast with our strong female energy. We have video footage and will be recording a CD tomorrow, I LOVE THIS CITY!  

Clearly the art and music has been coming on strong, I just need to keep the momentum with the spanish. I am learning great things through Bueno, entonces...and as it is very street smart and nightlife aplicable, I put the lessons into direct practice right away. The program displays the verbs and conjugations so well with the color coding and all of the visual cues. It prevents the confusions between adjectives, verbs, nouns, feminine and masculine. A very hard concept for me in spanish are the reflexive verbs, but again they deal with what could be a boring subject in such a funny way that the concept gets directly wired to your brain.
Who wants to waste time learning to say "she has a white dog" when you can be learning much more applicable things (especially in this country) such as "tiene piel como chocolate blanco".
