El día E, fue el día del español. En esta ocasión tocamos al aire libre, en un concierto organizado por el Instituto Cervantes, con un público en su mayoría hispano muy divertido.
Estos son algunos de los momentos. Con Coque González(electric guitar), Liz Taub(violin, mandolin), Dan Martínez(bass) y Carlitos Maldonado(drums, percussion).

El concierto en el Centro Español La Nacional fue todo un éxito de gente. No sólo llenamos sino que incluso pudimos cobrar, lo cual no siempre se da. Scott Rudd, a professional photographer from Canada, a musician himself and one fo my students, took these amazing pictures.With Joel Mateo (percussion), Liz Taub (Mandolin and Violin), Coque González (acoustic and electric guitar)and Francesco Marcocci (Bass). It was a pleasure to share the stage with Rebeca Vallejo and Lara Bello.
Our band rocked and the musicians were completely amazing!!! We had a great time!! The sound at the place could improve considerably...nevertheless...we did it!!! Thanks to Centro Español for offering us the space, Scott Rudd for the wonderful photographs and my musicians for their beautiful energy and professionalism...

I had the pleasure to collaborate with Victor Prieto. Never occurred to me that an accordion could make my songs so much richer and give them that special touch....But of course, this is not ANY accordion...Victor is Victor Prieto!!!
Joel.E Mateo, en la percusión no se queda atrás...Joel was fantastic in this fun gig, as usual...It is a pleasure to work with such professionals and amazing human beings...
La pasamos fenomenal en Teddy´s y seguimos colaborando y seguiremos con mucha ilusión...

Rhys Chatman is a composer, guitarist and trumpet player from Manhattan, currently living in Paris. He is known for 'altering the DNA of rock along with creating a new type of urban music by fusing the overtone-drenched minimalism of the early 1960's with the elemental fury of The Ramones-the textural intricacies of the avant-grarde colliding with the visceral punch of electric guitar-slinging punk rock."
I attended this wonderful and completely unusual concert and was surprisingly pleasant. I found it very impressive how they could keep the tempo so accurately and how such a noisy performance could be at the same time meditative and soothing....Loved it!!
What can i say about Laurie Anderson that we don´t know? I just love her. Her work is so intricate, inspirational, complex, funny, fun, witty, creative, humble and intelligent...that I could basically go over and over to her shows, find something new each time and never get tired. This was my second time to her show Delusion. The way she uses the stage, the audiovisuals, the manipulation of her own voice through her computer, her compositions in simbiosis with her stories, her interpretations of life, her funny and satirical comments about Americans makes us, or rather, most of us Europeans, specially amused without feeling we are being cruel to the very same people we love.
I was very touched by the story about her mother. When her mom is dying, she goes to a priest and tells him she really does not love her mom, but she is dying, what should she do..The priest suggest she should tell her anyway she always cared about her. But she does not want to lie. During this ethic conflict, that i find so baldly honest, her mom dies...She shares with us her dilemma and I am taken by her sincerity. She is a true inspiration...I wanna be like you!!!!! When i grow up....
