AMAAAAAAAZING!!!

I just got back from the Flamenco performance I told you about last week... It's the BEST event I've been to in quite a while :) First of all, it was a FULL HOUSE! We ended up sitting on the stairs, there was no room for one to set foot...

The music was amazing, the guitarist was a group all by himself... bringing out melody with harmony and rhythme in an incredible performance! And the whole group were just wonderful... creating awesome rhythme by clapping and tapping (and in one piece using sticks against the ground in a breath taking beat), and singing with such a powerful voice that resonates with a warm nostalgia and reverberating strengh...

All of this was in accompaniment to the wonderful Flamenco dancing by Tatiana Garrido and her partner... Ah the rhythme... the swiftness and radiating energy...

Unfortunately I couldn't take pictures, but Roba was there and her camera hardly rested (she was sitting behind me ;) ) so I'm sure she'll give us a colorful post that captures the spirit of the event :) oh, and I didn't know at first that the person sitting in front of me was Ammar, I probably gave him a hard time shifting in my place and looking for a spot to settle my feet ;p Roba introduced us at the end of the concert... it's very interesting how you just feel you've known people for quite a while from reading their blogs :)

Again I will say, the audience was impressive (but sadly with the usual noise from people talking and mobiles ringing!!! Can somebody explain to me why people choose not to put the mobile in silent mode??!!)

The group's final exit was beautiful, interacting with the non-stop applause with obvious joy and appreciation!

Big thanks to the Amman Municipality, and the Cervantes Institute... keep those events coming :)
