Fallas in Valencia 2011
In times when the economic and political situation in Spain are not in their best shape, and the world seems more troubled than ever, traditions come to save the day. Valencia’s Fallas Fiesta is a celebration of fire, sound and creation.
The burning down of paper sculptures or ninots symbolizes purification and a new beginning. The creation of the ninots and the whole festival preparation in general for the next year begin the very day after the cremà —burning day of the sculptures. Actually, if you come to think of it, Fallas is present all year round in Valencia.
Paúl Alcaide's Moments
Paúl Alcaide, better known for being a member of the Spanish rock band called “Pota Lait”, is touring his first disc as a soloist: Moments.
After countless collaborations with different bands and musicians on different genres, this work reflects a more personal and mellow style, influenced by rhythms like jazz, Brazilian music, classic guitar sounds and flamenco.
He has produced and edited the disc himself. Moments is an important part of Paúl’s life, not only on a professional scope, but also personally: 20% of the disc sales will be destined to APNEEF, the Eivissa and Formentera Association of Persons with Special Needs. This is a cause he is very committed to.
