Festival de las culturas Mundial 2009: "Warsaw Village Band" y ""LES TAMBOURS DE BRAZZA"


Queria escribir unas palabrillas sobre el festival del las culturas mundial de un pueblecito de la costa de Dublín, "Dun Laoghoire". A pesar de los recortes de preosupuesto y siendo dos días de festival en vez de tres como todos los años, ha estado muy bien. Es un festival para compartir con la familia, hay música ,baile y cultura pra todas las edades,nosotros fuimos expresamente para ver una banda polaca "Warsaw village band" tocaron en el escenario principal. Que grupo tan original,consta de tres mujeres y tres hombres, tocan mucha variedad de instrumentos,algo que no has visto nunca. Les faltaba un poco de gracia y sonreir un poco..pero a pesar de eso me gustaron mucho.

Group recommendation alternative rock: Madina Lake

I wanted to recommend you a group i discovered not long ago by chance. They are from illinois and play alternative rock music. A 4-member band Founded in 2005, they released their first album in 2007 "From Them, Through Us, To You ". I think that there is no point in writting more about a music group if you have not listened to them yet, this is my favourite song,enjoy it and judge for yourself!!:

let´s get outta here



I love having such a wide taste in music, i´m able to enjoy so many music styles!

Jenga a perfect game to know if you are sober


I got to know this mentally skilled wooden game : Jenga, through my cousin, Inma in Fuengirola. We started playing in a pub and after it, we actually bought one four ourselves. "Jenga" come from the swahili and means "to build" , this game was created by LEslie Scott in the 70ies and it can be played from 1 to 5 people. I´m still learning how not to destroy the wooden tower after a few tries , it´s all a matter of seeing what piece will not destroy the balance of the tower you have built (of course , this is the perfect alcohol test, it should be used on the roads!!). Only one hand can be used. If you want to discover more.. you will need to come to my place and i´ll show it to you!!or you can look for my cousin in Southern Spain!! lol


and remember you can only use some fingers of one hand! no cheating!

4 weddings -> living tv show

This reality tv show is great to see how people really behave at weedings and how bitchy guests can be when judging it. 4 weddings are rated by 4 brides : venue,location,food ,dress and atmosphere. In the end, the wedding with the highest score wins a wonderful honey-moon. At first, when I saw the show advertised, i thought it was stupid but then I watched it once on living tv on Mondays at 21.00 and I got addicted to it lol. It´s not a very intellectual show but ideal to relax after a long working day. Every time i watch it i think..uhm what would my guests have said about my wedding..uhm..i guess i´ll never know..even good friends can get very critical..

you can get a glimpse of it here:

Cocó avant chanel

Quería describiros brevemente una película muy estética e interesante que vi ayer "cocó vanta chanel". Película dirigida por Anne Fontaine se centra en los duros comienzos de la famosa diseñadora de Modas "Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel " hasta que abriera su primera tienda de éxito. Cocó revolucionó el mundo de la moda con su toque masculino,introduciendo las chaquetas y faldas a media pierna para las mujeres y sus originales sombreros.

No os quiero contar la película entera pero cuando la veáis ver si estáis de acuerdo conmigo en la belleza de la historia de amor entre Cocó y el amigo inglés de gran clase del millonario Balsán, llamado Arthut"Boy" Capel (ambos personajes representados maravillosamente por la actriz:Audrey Tautou y el actor: Alessandro Nivola). Una de las maravillas del cine es poder retratar en tan solo unos minutos, la importancia de uno de los personajes más influyentes en la moda del siglo 20.



Un dato importante: intentad ver está película en francés con subtítulos sino puede perder calidad!
