My class is really starting with the basics, ser/estar, then -ar verbs, now relationships and tener. It's all coming back quite easily, thank goodness, so this group will hopefully help me with putting conversational sentences together... rather than the caveman Spanish I used to speak: 'me like book'. ;)

Eliseo Parra is one Spain's leading performers and researchers of folk music. He has traveled to small villages to rediscover old songs, musical instruments and learned how to play some instruments in the traditional style. He reconstructs folk music by adding modern elements. His background may seem surprising to some. He began as a rock musician and afterwards became interested in jazz and Caribbean rhythms. Eventually, he ended up rediscovering Spanish folk music.
Rosalia Roio, Guitar player, songwriter, composer and vocalist, a truly original musician. With a fabulous energy and singular mastery of her instrument, able to un-earth the ancient popular music of her native Spain and embody it in an astonishing performance full of passion and mastery. Rosalia's music is an inspired encounter of beauty, guts and virtuosity. Though educated with some of the bests musicians in the world, Rosalía's songs reveal a truly un-affected, creative and brave artist who has become a cult musician for an international audience. Her music is a fusion of traditional Spanish Folk music that has been largely forgotten. The adaptations combine this folk heritage, which is not derived from Flamenco, with jazz and Latin colors. She has taken many sources and created a new musical vision enriched by her virtuosity guitar technique.
BOCETO PARA ESPERANZA
Si fueras a tocar esa memoria
parece eterno, el polvo de tus ojos.
Pero el olor de aquella pagina no vuelve
se fue con los desvelos de tu frente.
Si fueras a tocar aquellos dias
la extraña magia de todo lo que llueve
tocar a sol que esta arrugado entre las hojas
al perro y a la tia tejedora.
Cuando el aire tenia rastros de azul,
en el patio cabía toda la luz.
Llevame donde pueda abuela dormir
si fueras a volver, llevame alli.
Si fueras a quedar en lo que queda
aquella casa debajo de los años,
aquella forma de mecerse los almendros
el agua que inventaba la tinaja.
El tiempo esta dejándonos un tiempo
para volver al patio de tus manos,
reconocer entre las sabanas tendidas
las caras que perdimos hace tanto
Cuando el aire tenia rastros de azul,
en el patio cabía toda la luz.
Llevame donde pueda abuela dormir
si fueras a volver llevame alli.
