News from Granada

Hi guys,
Have been gone along time and thought I'd catch up and put my settings back to recieving mail as it comes so I can keep up with you all.

We got back from America and things got a bit crazy, what with the Flamenco Feria in Sevilla and the studio opening. Yes I'll just repeat that. The studio is UP and RUNNING ! This morning it was a delight to see Emilio, El Charico, El Moreno, Juan and El Cheyenne at such an unearthly hour but even better at the end of the day listening to what they are doing. Should be ready by Christmas.

Emilio has asked me to manage him, which is an honour and a lot of work, he's keeping me busy :) Right now I'm organizing some gigs in Huelva. In January he's off to Japan with Enrique El Melchor, wish I'd got that one together :(

America/Canada was an incredible experience with Taller de Compás. I'm going to write some stories about the trip when I have a few moments. The group had a fantastic time, standing ovations and brilliant reviews. Have to update our website again with photos. See the photos from Indiana at http://129.79.22.9/lotus2003/friday/compas/Thumbs/Thumbs1.html
and a brilliant review from the Chicago Tribune at http://metromix.chicagotribune.com/search/mmx-glg18mk72.5sep17.story

They are now being asked to support Ojos de Brujo in Spain amongst other gigs. I'll post more when its confirmed but I dont suppose Ojos de Brujo appeal to many members here. They are also playing Sevilla University on Friday 28th November.

Look forward to catching up a bit. Hope everyone is well. It looks like thsi forum has really come into its own. Looking good Simon. Well done.

saludos
Kate

Kate-

The pictures from Bloomington are great - a lot better than mine!

A group of us (six, to be exact) are planning on going to Granada in May. Hopefully we can meet up.

Hi Scott
It'll be great to see you here in Granada. Let me know your dates and
plans.

The photographer from Bloomington said it was frustrating taking photos
with all the stage lights but he did ok. I love the one of Carmen.

Regards to your teacher, I cant remember his name of the top off my head
but we had a great pizza party with him in Dekalb. I think he thought we were
all crazy, and he'd have been right. It was a great night. Is he one of
your group of six?
saludos
Kate

Hi Miguel,

I like Ojos de Brujo too, they are a fun modern eclectic tongue in cheek fusion band. I just assumed that most people on a flamenco forum would not consider their fake flamenco that worthy.

I think all the photos were great - you are right, the one of Carmen is really good!

I will let you know more about our trip as the date gets closer. We will probably not start planning firm dates until after the holidays. Jeesh, I guess I need to start working on my Spanish!

I will give Eric your regards. He will not be one of the six going. It's a shame because I know he would love it!

I like Ojos de Brujo also!
