El dia en la auropuerta de Barcelona......


What a good time to bring up music Carla. While waiting for the only other plane to Bilbao (which was 12 hours later) that was the only thing that could have kept me sane in this airport after missing my flight. Also a good time for music because this was a weekend where I got to experience 3 live performances, all very different of course. My first experience this weekend was when in the metro a family was playing music. It was kind of odd but I enjoyed the entertainment and how passionate they were about their music. The boy played the violin and was amazing.  My second music experience, my favorite, was while at the beach when a group of guys played spanish beachy music. They were called Buenas Costumbres and I was very tempted to buy their album. I enjoyed this performance so much because not only were they playing creative intruments like buckets and shells, but they collaboratively danced at the same time. The main singer was so good and you could tell that this is what they love to do and they have fun doing it. The final music experience was at the discoteca rasmataz, where a kind of punk group played. The main singer was a british girl and she would yell and screem, which was very interesting. However, it somehow worked in the setting and got everyone excited.  Overall, all of these forms of music I think would be hard to find in the US but is something that I would somewhat expect abroad. Though there were some unfortunate events this morning, I really enjoyed my stay in Barcelona and it definitely was a unique experience.

  1. Nice! I looked them up and they seem to be from latinamerican origin. They do versions of really famous songs. Here is their website: http://www.myspace.com/buenascostumbres
