Pick'n & Grin'n Catalan Style

After enjoying the privilege of touring the Palau de la Música Catalana we enjoyed its purpose.

Three renowned guitarists, a
pair of dancers, and a flamenco percussionist, to deliver a tribute to Paco de Lucía fusing both flamenco and Spanish guitars.

The show was lively and fun --- and funny. Latin style guitar being a favorite, there was little doubt we were in store for a lovely evening.

The bonus was supposed to be the flamenco dancers, and they were great, but the real bonus was the humor. Being a mixed crowd (from many nationalities), they did a great job with non-verbal humor.

To begin the encore all 3 guitarists and the percussionist played a song, all on 1 guitar, all at the same time. Three artists picking cords at the same time. One sat still and began to play, the others crowded around and joined in. The arrangement required that at least 1 guitarist was always playing with his hands reversed.

The dancing portion was impressive and enjoyable. What stuck me, that has never stuck me before, was that some of the dancing was music itself.

Below is a you tube link to the performance, since photos and video were not allowed.
