Sample post

Once upon a time, in a galaxy far far away there I was in October, 2006, heading for a concert of a jazz trio that I didn’t really know that well. I had heard about it in my favourite Sunday radio programme “Guitarra”, and there was no way I could have known that I would always remember the name  “Uwe Kropinsky”, the guitarrist. Here's a photo of him

The venue was Goethe Institute, in a small, kind of dark, reddish room. Nothing fancy, on the contrary, the simplicity of the whole event made it even more impressive. What I really liked about him was his creativity and dynamism; he didn’t only play perfectly and passionately, but he also used his body and unexpected items to complement his music. For example, he wrapped one of his feet with some sort of dried tree seeds and tapped it to the tune's rhythm, while he also stepped on a tiny plastic bag, so the sound resembled that of a cymbal. He used his guitar not only as a string instrument but also as percussion. It came so honest and natural to him that the small room seemed to grow to the beat of the trio. When I look back I always get this warm feeling. 

It was a beautiful artistic, musical experience, one that became one of my favourite ones because I felt that music really embraced us all in that hour and a half in which everybody there shared something really authentic, original and magic.
