Life in the villages are pretty simple, but at the same time they enjoy the simple things in life. (that’s a new tongue twister ?)
Attended a musical concert at a church in La Iglesuela a small village in Spain.
It was a simple affair but all the seats were taken and people just enjoyed and gave a standing ovation at the end.
What I liked was the dedication and devotion with which the choir members (young and old) came for the practice and finally performed with no flaw on the final day.
It was warm inside the church, but that did not dampen the spirit of the performers and the audience.
Usually for a stage performance, there are floodlights, but here candles were lit (inside and outside the church) making it something very unique (and difficult for me to do the filming)
The choir was conducted by Ms Vanessa Satur who put together the whole show.
After the performance, all got together at a pub in Piedralaves and had a round of drinks discussing the finer points about the show and how things went in general. Finally when all dispersed it was 2 am.
Two clippings of the show for those who want to hear it. (will add more clippings later when it is ready)

ReplyDeleteOh wonderful...thanks for sharing and giving a peek to that which was like- EXOTIC.
ReplyDeleteYou know, it reminded me of those gatherings i have been fortunate to attend where talented people get together to enjoy each other's talents without the limelight...without formalities... the flashlights of the media and without much fuss.
Somehow these delightful rendezvous which are simple also feel exotic and very enriching.
i hope you get my drift.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that. Wonderful photos and a great video that really gave you the feel of the place. I might never get to see it in person but if I don't your video made it come alive.
