So apparently there's a festival going on in Alicante this week called "Eat My Soul" (8th edition, a week dedicated to "Black Music"), starting this weekend, and going all out next weekend with a series of concerts, showings of movies/documentaries, a New Orleans food market and much more (which I'll miss out, out of town!)
I headed into town this morning to catch some of the action, and boy was it a blast!!! Swinging their way through the streets of the old part of town to the tune of "El Refugio Swing Band" (I didn't even know you could play a bass while moving it around!) and watching the people from "Alicante Lindy Hop" swing dancing (wish I could do that! Might sign up for classes in the Fall!). Check out these photos and videos!
Here are the musicians:

That last video got cut a bit abruptly as I ran out of space of the phone... Unfortunate 'cause I LOVE that song!
I've been moving to the rhythm all day... even once back at home! ;o)
PS: And yes this means I'm hopefully back on the Blog(s)! (fingers crossed!)
That all looks like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI know!!! I'm thinking I might try to join a class next Fall, but it's not easy when you request a spot without a partner, apparently there's a long waiting list... :o(
DeleteLooks like awesome fun to me! I love spring and summer when all the street events and outdoor stuff's going on. Should be starting up here soon too. I hope you had some alcoholic beverages and a good ol' boogie.
ReplyDeleteYes, I said boogie!
VEG I might have moved to the beat a bit... albeit discreetly. ;o)
