Jesper -> Hey from Utrecht (The Netherlands) (Apr. 24 2013 7:05:09)

Hey there! I've been following the foro already some time without posting anything (I was afraid it will become an addiction :p), but as I'm planning to join the solea challenge, it's about time I introduce myself :).

I'm 27 years old and conduct research in theoretical computer science. I play guitar for about 10 years now, and take lessons for about 3 years. My parents used to listen to the cd 'entre dos aguas' by PdL, so that's how I got interested in flamenco. In fact, ;) the famous rumba on the cd was one of the first songs I'd try to master since I liked it so much (and yes it takes a loooong time, I still don't fully master the fast picado's :)). Besides this I also totally enjoy playing Gipsy Jazz guitar and various other styles.

Hi Peter, hi Jesper,

Here another Dutch (wannabe) flamenco guitarplayer from Roermond, Limburg, with that soft 'G'.....haha
Jesper, I see you also participate in the beginner challenge, so we are rivals now. I wish you good luck!

Un saludo,
Geert.



Jesper -> RE: Hey from Utrecht (The Netherlands) (Apr. 25 2013 8:48:43)

Thanks to both of you :). Yeah, Utrecht is a great place! And it looks like the wheather is finally getting better :D.

@Geert: Good luck with the challenge to you as well!

Welcome to the foro and greetings from Rotterdam :-)

If you read my recent post about some of the flamenco developments in the Netherlands (posted on the page about the dutch flamenco biënnale) you probably noticed Utrecht played a very important role in promoting flamenco in the netherlands like offering the first dutch flamenco dance school (50ties) and offering the first flamenco concert series (Vredenburg, late 80ties)... as a result it became known as utrera del norte

You are more than welcome, Lionel!
A good opportunity to meet up with some guys!



Jesper -> RE: Hey from Utrecht (The Netherlands) (May 2 2013 18:25:10)

@Erik Interesting! didn't know that (although I was familiar with the name Utrera del Norte :)). Anyway, there is definitely some flamenco activity in Utrecht :D :D.

@Shroomy726, gerundino63: Make sure to keep me updated :).
