A humble tribute to auld Broadway musicals...

 On a beautiful summer night, travelling around the northern cantabric coast of Galicia (Spain), I found the oportunity of performing on a very special place site in the small town of Foz... and I´ve decided to grab that oportunity to introduce the amazing voice of Clara María Ramos Taboada to the public that came along that night. It was her first gig ever... but, as you can see for yourself, it was an absolute success, due to the quiet and warm atmosphere created with the public within the walls of that awesome terrace... where the  jazzy melodies of an old Broadway musical fitted perfectly...

Romance in Cordoba

 In the old town of Cordoba, sunken in the labyrinth of narrow streets of that ancient city, I was gladly invited to get in the stage and play a few songs on a local jazz club. This one was my first choice for that night... the old and beautiful Spanish Romance... one of the first pieces I learned to play when I was a kid, and a very appropiate tune for the arabic atmosphere of that amazing city...

"Sofi´s Bar" Live Session - Leith

This video was recorded on 2th December 2011 at "Sofi´s Bar". Surrounded by candle lights and good people it became a perfect place to chill out and let us to be inmersed on music.  The brilliant pianist and better friend Lachland Court and the wonderful voice of Hollie A Hylands formed the channel to share extremely good vibes. I am really gratefull to them for let me play that night. We were playing together for the first time, not even know each other so much... but it was an awesome experience for me and it still being each time I can play with, and with the totaly unbeatable company of the best audience ever... our friends.


             

"Images from Edinburgh II"

The second video recorded in the Royal Mile... the spectacular view of the "Holy road Park" in one hand and the Edinburgh Castle in the other mixed with the sound of pipes taken by the wind from all around the city made me think about using a celtic melody and I've decided to use one of my own..."Por los caminos", that in Spanish means: "Through the paths". This song remembers me walking in the mountains in northern Spain, over the grass in the western Irish cliffs in Donegal or having a round following a lake shore in the Highlands... choosing. My friend from Ferrara posted both clips in his channel MrGERIATRICO40 with some other excellent videos about his trips around Europe.  (Grazie mille)

                

"Images from Edinburgh I"

This video has recorded in June 2010 in Edinburgh´s Old Town. I was busking when I've met an Italian photographer from Ferrara taking pictures of the Royal Mile. We started to talk and decided to make this videoclip combinig my music with some pictures of the city. The chosen song was a southern spanish flamenco song called "La Malagueña" because of the notable presence of Spanish inmigrants in Scotland and trying to reflex the ambience between gothic towers surrounding us and an amazing green landscape full of hills surrounding the city.

               

"Spanish open-Mic Night" in Galway, Ireland

A homemade video recorded by a friend from ISIS (Irish-Spanish Integration Society) in BK's Bistro on 2009 playing with a spanish flamenco-guitarrist and friend, Sergio Rodriguez . We decided to amenize the meeting like a traditional spanish musician such as the great "Paco de Lucia" with the contagious rythm of a rumba, an improvised version of "Entre dos aguas".
