Feliz 2019

Ay ay! I have to catch up this good whish for you all 💖, at least before January is over :D and before Spring comes... that will come, yes !!

The 2018 was a crazy year with a couple of big changes that came like surprises, some old dream coming true this year, like quitting the music lessons and making a living from my art ..  And because life is a yinyan, was not all roses in 2018..,
I am confident and optimist about this already starting 2019 and I wish also your dreams to come true. I am sure now that it can ever happen, so keep on with it!
I will also try to update ofter this blog, as I forgot it a bit due to the easiness and comfort of using Instagram, for those using it also  -->

Singersongwriters in Frankfurt

in March, one very cold Saturday, we went quite spontaneos to a music shop, No. 2 Records in Sachsenhausen, a beautiful neighbourhood in Frankfurt. There were playing two musicians, first Boohoo Music from Frankfurt. I don't find his website anymore, but it was a very lyrical music!
And afterwards 'Cannonball Stateman' from USA. A very different style, less slow, also indie and a bit heavmetal sometimes! I only could draw his rich, curly mane :D

Flamenco en Mainkur

El grupo "Collage" con cantaor, guitarrista y bailaora vistieron con música y baile la terraza de la estación de Mainkur. En las mesas, vino y paella. Y en el aire olorcito a gambas.. hmm qué cálida sensación!
Pero qué difícil pillar los movimientos e impulsos del baile flamenco! lo intenté, conste. La próxima vez espero que salga mejor!

A couple of weeks ago I was with Bela in Mainkur, the train Station, for a flamenco concert with dance. The ensemble was "Collage" and they did great music and performance! I will go next time for sure! I tried to catch the dancer but it was so difficult with the impulsiv and quick movements! next time will be better, I hope! ;)

Amadou et Mariam


Concierto al aire libre en el Palmengarten de Frankfurt.
Fue el Martes, al atardecer. Hacía un calor bochornoso y grupos pequeños de gente con picnics se desperdigaban por el prado a la espera del concierto. Y comenzó la música, llena de vida y ritmos africanos que pusieron a bailar al público entero, sin importar edad o condición. Era curioso observar y dibujar los diferentes estadios y reacciones del público mientras disfrutaba del compás colorido de la música.

Al final llegó la noche y la única luz era la que expulsaban los focos del escenario. Apenas podía ver mi papel ni los colores que utilizaba! aunque en color fui parca esta vez! ;)


Openair concert in Palmengarten. 
I was there on Tuesday evening, the 22th August. It was warm and humid and a lot of little groups had met on the park to make picnic before the concert started. And then the music started, a full of life and african rythms music, which got to dance every people, no matter age or condition! it was a funny expierience to observe and sketch these stadiums while feeling the colourful beats of the music. 
At last it was already dar k and the only light came from the stage in blue, red or yellow. I hard could see the paper and the colours I was using!

Pip Fluteman

the British musician was playing in Sugarmama some months ago, and I sketched him.
It was very crowded, as this singer-songwriter has many fans in Frankfurt 👌 It is not a wunder, with his beautiful voice and songs, and his great guitar skills! He reminds me a Shakespeare's trovador 😌

It was two weeks ago. So many people I met! Thanks all the friends and new visitors who dropped by my room and shared a bit of their time and kind words with me!

Sommerwerft 2016

Ist ein Festival für Theater und Musik in Frankfurt auf den Mainufer. Es hat was von frisch und lebendig, so rein und autentisch, dass wir hoffen dass es weiter bleiben darf!
Hier drei von der Musik Bands die ich gehört habe:
"St.Beaufort" aus ...Berlin! (bunt und gemischt), voll lyrisch und poetische Indie-Folk Musik
keine Ahnung mehr.. wer die waren, tut mir Leid!
Danny Dziuck und Karl Neukauf, aus Berlin, rein Ironie und Witz. Und beiden große Klavierspieler!

Es un festival de teatro y música a la orilla del Main. Tiene algo de fresco y vivo, puro y auténtico, y esperemos que siga existiendo. Aquí algunas bandas de música que pude oir, la mayoría de músicos venían de Berlin.. cómo no :P

Break time

When the weather is nice the kids make the break outside and sometimes even, they are able to play very peacefully with each other ;)
Si el tiempo es bueno los niños de la escuela de música hacen el recreo afuera. Entonces hasta son capaces de entretenerese pacíficamente.

El Retiro, Madrid


De camino a Asturias en estas pasadas Pascuas, pasé como un suspiro por Madrid, que apenas conozco.
Además del cocido y rabo de toro, el parque del Retiro fue con diferencia lo que más me gustó.. qué majestuoso, avenidas de arena clara y cipreses, los antiguos puestos de pipas y frutos secos que rememoran otros tiempos..  al Norte naves de arquitectura decimonónica, rodeadas de altísimos y escultóricos pinos romanos, y el cielo arriba tan azul castellano...  un oasis en la apestada de tráfico y ruidosa capital.

Drawing Frankfurt

I went with Gordian to catch some sketches of Frankfurt. First in an old and busy café, the Metropol, which I really like because its atmosphere reminds me somehow to Paris. And then over the bridge, trying to capture the well-known Mainhattan silouette ;)
We hurried up because our hands froze in the cold wind! too many buildings in too short time!

A street in Bornheim

I am discovering all the time sweet corners in my neighbourhood and sometimes I stop a few minutes to draw them. I love those beautiful old houses tightening their selves to each other, and each one different though keeping a kinship.
