follwoing events

The FORUM opened in Monterrey. This is a kind of festival that lasts about 3 months with many problems related. One easy question that comes to mind first of all for example: where are the (more than) 250 million dollars (!!!) which were spent form the Forum?? in the river Santa Lucia that was built very quickly in order to put some nice makeup to cover up the city's other cheek.
but what do I know. I'm not from here, here things are done differently.

Anyways, Goran Bregovic and orchestra played lovely and made our feet jump high in the air, a couple of weeks ago. So that counts for something.

not for piano

Last week there was a mini festival of media art here in Monterrey.
We went to listen to Ivan Abreu giving a talk about his work in a conference called "La Poética de la Demostración".

A couple of days later we went to a concert "Not for Piano" of
Francesco Tristano playing together with Murcof which we like very much. The concert was wonderful, I wish it would have been longer. Sergio recorded some on video.

cool mash up

little boxes

Here is a song by Melvina Reynolds that I like very much. Her voice is a little cracking and not perfect and that's why she is great. This might not be the best way to upload the song, but at least I was able to in the end..
