Up, close and personal

Last saturday I was invited to Loreena McKennit's last concert in Spain this summer. I had already been to one of her concerts years ago, but she never fails to amaze me with this heavenly voice of her



I got lucky and got almost every favorite song of mine played. The best known ones, like the Highway Man and some less popular like Tango to Evora. Not much from the last record, though, but there is a new one in the oven for Xmas :)

Yesterday, it was one of those days where everything looks weird around and it looks as if you have walked into a different dimension with alternate versions of the people you know. Must be the heat or something. However, the remarkable thing was that I went to Madeleine Peyroux's concert during Terral'08 (Malaga). Does she have a cool live show!! She ended her perfomance, just before the bis, with my fav song "Dance me to the end of love", with enough variations from the CD to make it a new experience and she even sang a couple of new songs. Now, if I could just make it to a Marlango concert ...
