In the Air

"It is a common belief that here in Spain we go nuts about bullfights, flamenco and spend a lot of time enjoying our siesta, nothing more far from reality. As you saw yesterday in my previous post Las Arenas...we have less bullrings (I have never been to a Plaza de Toros in my life), flamenco is being blended with pop, rock, salsa or even jazz and of course we don't have time for siesta anymore, hummm, that I do miss. This bailaor of flamenco (flamenco dancer) was performing near the end of Las Ramblas, suddenly he jumps, I shoot and notice on my screen that his legs were not even blurred in the picture. You have to admit that good dancers sometimes flow in the air". Taken by Carlos Lorenzo

Carnivalissimo Trance

"We were walking to the Cuban music [during the Luminato Festival 2007] and out of nowhere we were immersed in supreme trance like drums and angelic dancers swaying to the ethereal riddums...they passed by and we felt as if we were baptised by riddum and dance". Taken by SachaMassaGonna
