The name of the place is El Charavinillo and it is located in the farmland area just outside of the city of Granada.<br />The enchantment of the setting with the chimney glowing in the corner gave the perfect space for a night of Flamenco in its purest form, just voice and guitar.<br />And whom better to rise up to the occasion and offer us a memorable flamenco session than Miguel Ochando and Maria Jose Perez.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyYwDPky2HuoYBmZaHyZsrxYTg-l2YRcLKKRKuJjKTL6HvCyuyXzBxsZsMft6wjQryJ8bYqECjtqKvan6wQB_bfgKPA5UGC-oG8LN9D6iWusv6xVde4BLnrCup8hXcUn6xpHj89c9jqng7/s1600-h/granada_08-7585.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 235px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyYwDPky2HuoYBmZaHyZsrxYTg-l2YRcLKKRKuJjKTL6HvCyuyXzBxsZsMft6wjQryJ8bYqECjtqKvan6wQB_bfgKPA5UGC-oG8LN9D6iWusv6xVde4BLnrCup8hXcUn6xpHj89c9jqng7/s320/granada_08-7585.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265604327461085554" border="0" /></a><br />Miguel Ochando is one of the most acclaimed guitarist of Granada and has performed alongside most of the Flamenco masters of the time.

El cortijo fue convertido hace muchos años en bar/restaurante y en una casa de turismo rural. Se llama Cortijo Charavino, si bien todos lo conocen por El Charavinillo.<br /><br />El encanto del lugar, con la chimenea encendida al fondo y su aire acogedor, ofrecía el ambiente perfecto para una noche de Flamenco en su forma más pura, sencillamente cante y guitarra.Y quién podía ser más adecuado para ofrecernos una inolvidable sesión de Flamenco puro que Miguel Ochando y Mª José Pérez. <br /><br />Miguel Ochando es una de los guitarristas granadinos más aclamados, de fama nacional e internacional. Miguel ha tocado con muchos de los maestros del Flamenco. Acaba de terminar su primer disco, Memoria, que cuenta con la participación de dos artistas invitados de excepción: enrique Morente y su hija Estrella Morente. Puedes conseguirlo en la siguiente dirección pinchando aqui: <a href="https://www.deflamenco.com/tiendaflamenco/ver.jsp?cod=3320">Miguel Ochando Memoria</a><br /><br />María José Pérez, nacida en Almería, lleva algo menos tiempo en el panorama flamenco granadino, pero ha llegado con mucha fuerza. Su poderosa voz disfraza su corta edad y con la experiencia que va acumulando y el sello personal que ya posee, es seguro que va a convertirse en una de las grandes figuras del cante Flamenco.<br /><br /><br />Si te ha gustado esta experiencia, apoya a los músicos y consigue una copia del Nuevo CD de Miguel Ochando en: <a href="https://www.deflamenco.com/tiendaflamenco/ver.jsp?cod=3320">Miguel Ochando Memoria<br /></a><br /><br />Aun quedan muchas cosas por venir, el proyecto Wapapura ha empezado a tomar carrerilla, así que sigue conectado porque las cosas se están poniendo interesantes…wapapurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01540535302386181137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002072030186980151.post-68780119581355096512008-06-24T08:39:00.000-07:002008-12-10T11:36:10.344-08:00Cambridge University Choir at Granada Cathedral<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kuyeMqZfQ7p1u7hnj6YAEY7dYTo74-JjpQEq3OktAIC21pk0d4crJK04exdzT7YNmHd0-gf69phvHe6JP6FLjrBGR3LD-0KJ3CAWWQ3lJIOWb-wGbnnvVuYEGlp9kzcfun5IrfVkOwCM/s1600-h/IMG_1051.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3kuyeMqZfQ7p1u7hnj6YAEY7dYTo74-JjpQEq3OktAIC21pk0d4crJK04exdzT7YNmHd0-gf69phvHe6JP6FLjrBGR3LD-0KJ3CAWWQ3lJIOWb-wGbnnvVuYEGlp9kzcfun5IrfVkOwCM/s400/IMG_1051.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222953767154453906" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDyFTbEw3N4eRcB3rebG1MdULc_6KDcd32JBCy8a4y0Z54_RpTRm7Uh91FowR0Q2HFkbXxrkb6R7kcJirZs4F6ZfKQEzjFtToHBE4epf1Qkr5JFribk5eN-I-l-G2FHQFOE0_TRFPYMhTF/s1600-h/IMG_1091.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDyFTbEw3N4eRcB3rebG1MdULc_6KDcd32JBCy8a4y0Z54_RpTRm7Uh91FowR0Q2HFkbXxrkb6R7kcJirZs4F6ZfKQEzjFtToHBE4epf1Qkr5JFribk5eN-I-l-G2FHQFOE0_TRFPYMhTF/s400/IMG_1091.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222954743498914562" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Just three days after our first recording in the Alpujarra Mountains, we had the pleasure of heading back home to Granada and setting up our Solar Powered recording equipment in the Cathedral of Granada to record the Cambridge, UK, University Choir.<br /><br />The Cathedral of Granada is a very privileged place to have the honor of recording due to its architectural and historical significance, so we are very grateful to the entire choir and its director Julian Revie for inviting us to join them on this special occasion.<br /><br />The enormous size of this building is reflected in the amazing resonant acoustics that can be heard as the choir performs its repertoire.<br /><br />This was another event made possible by the work of Cat Jary, the director of the <a href="http://www.alexandermusicschool.com/">Alexander Music School in Ferreirola</a>. Cat did join them on violoncello along with Cristophe Blezien and Cristina Minguez on violin for a wonderfully presented piece by Haydn that made up part of this evening's concert.<br /><br />Here are some more pictures and a few pieces of the performance that you can listen to and get a little audio taster of what we were treated to in such an overwhelming space.

Fuimos allí para grabar al Coro de la Universidad de Cambridge, Reino Unido.<br /><br />La Catedral de Granada es un lugar privilegiado para grabar, no sólo por su gran importancia histórica sino también por su espectacular arquitectura. Estamos muy agradecidos por el honor de haber sido invitados por todo el coro y en especial por su director Julian Revie. <br /><br />La grandiosidad de este edificio queda reflejada en la espectacular acústica que tuvimos cuando el coro presentó su concierto. Este tipo de resonancia solo es posible en espacios de tal magnitud. Grabar un coro de 30 personas aquí fue todo un placer.<br /><br />Este evento también fue posible gracias al trabajo de Cat Jary, la directora de la <a href="http://www.alexandermusicschool.com">Escuela de Música Alexander en Ferreirola</a>.

It was not a solar powered recording, actually the quality of the recording is not very good because it was done on my hand held recorder. But it is an archive of a very special night. <br /><br />A night that shows you the magic that can happen when you take three musicians from totally different backgrounds, put them in a house in the middle of the mountains for a few days and have them play in a pizza bar after Spain beats Italy in penalty kicks to win the European Cup Semi-Finals. <br /><br />Beautiful improvised perfection.

It was a long journey, but finally we found ourselves back in the mountains, with all the equipment ready to make our first "official" recording. And it just so happened to be the 2008 Summer Solstice. Not a bad day to inaugurate a <span style="font-weight: bold;">Solar Powered Music Recording Project</span>.<br /><br />The concert recording took place at a wonderful space in the garden area of the Restaurant La Alcachofa in Pitres. Overlooking the mountain expanse of the Alpujarras, we had the privilege due to some very special circumstances, of recording two amazing musicians, Rob Mazurek from Chicago and Guilherme Granado from Sao Paolo, Brazil.<br /><br />They are the two components of the Sao Paolo Undergound quartet that actually made it through Spanish Immigration. Due to some absurd border conflicts between Spain and Brazil at the moment, two of the musicians of this project were not allowed into Spain. This left Rob and Guilherme in the difficult situation of having to face doing their Spanish tour as a duo instead of as a quartet.<br />But as the tour progressed they demonstrated their ability as musicians to take an unfortunate situation and create a new project that evolved and adapted to each new space they played in. Instead of being what one would usually call concerts, they were more like intimate conversations between two very interesting people using all the instruments that had crossed the oceans with them.<br /><br />Now, what did cross the ocean with them was a good deal of electronic equipment that tested us and our solar powered sound system to its peak. This was coupled with the fact that we had to borrow equipment from may different sources to make this concert work. It all caused a good deal of stress in trying to make it all sound correct and in the end it taught us the lesson that we still have a long way to travel and a good deal to learn in order to make solar powered recordings in remote locations.<br /><br />Nonetheless, it all worked out because Rob and Guilherme did their thing and played beautiful music that was all powered by the Sun on its longest dance of the year.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig23XGSLafRNMWZJ6TVN9J10OfE_JpoSJ-KCslyntdlX7qA6aVaIG4r_Exs9Chu7fodu8hNrJO6dPtqMIS2jOfsj-dGsqsoU8ts7nA-fjWi_fTBxWrtroYd5RCo-scdLmrWLEp0OcX_QMN/s1600-h/IMG_0708.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig23XGSLafRNMWZJ6TVN9J10OfE_JpoSJ-KCslyntdlX7qA6aVaIG4r_Exs9Chu7fodu8hNrJO6dPtqMIS2jOfsj-dGsqsoU8ts7nA-fjWi_fTBxWrtroYd5RCo-scdLmrWLEp0OcX_QMN/s320/IMG_0708.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222965723319075234" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Listen for yourselves and let us know what you think:<br /><p>Three Fountain grooves<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/SPU_4_5.mp3&;bgcolor=000000" height="20" width="200"> <param name="movie" value="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/SPU_4_5.mp3&;bgcolor=000000"><br /></object><br /></p><br /><p>Caminos con Buarque<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/SPU_7.mp3&;bgcolor=000000" height="20" width="200"> <param name="movie" value="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/SPU_7.mp3&;bgcolor=000000"><br /></object><br /></p><br /><p>Yellow Hat Rocker<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/SPU_1_2.mp3&;bgcolor=000000" height="20" width="200"> <param name="movie" value="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/SPU_1_2.mp3&;bgcolor=000000"><br /></object><br /></p><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg8qB8JGz-3Rrqj2Youpc7uvAXOI-tV3dr0drCVgohqqxNhRHJXDDrWXpqOqURWtCAkvdBSQQ5V0EPF_Aup6UoD8mqNJABPZopDm7lQuIY4QDbUFKJQTWSpRivhBdv2SYtuU9wrjXAWjbz/s1600-h/IMG_4798.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg8qB8JGz-3Rrqj2Youpc7uvAXOI-tV3dr0drCVgohqqxNhRHJXDDrWXpqOqURWtCAkvdBSQQ5V0EPF_Aup6UoD8mqNJABPZopDm7lQuIY4QDbUFKJQTWSpRivhBdv2SYtuU9wrjXAWjbz/s320/IMG_4798.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220620504249739506" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXWVajPoeJKqudldfmzT5lb6xmj3YRMn8pmdl-yEnLv_GGwufHi_E-h0biZwH2S4veslYNFn3SNSBorKv41Cj4_T9L41pDVAwJ5qWM73eQu3HMzKHZ0udeDiKkCrOp1SkooZEOAVH-Jc_x/s1600-h/IMG_4821.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXWVajPoeJKqudldfmzT5lb6xmj3YRMn8pmdl-yEnLv_GGwufHi_E-h0biZwH2S4veslYNFn3SNSBorKv41Cj4_T9L41pDVAwJ5qWM73eQu3HMzKHZ0udeDiKkCrOp1SkooZEOAVH-Jc_x/s320/IMG_4821.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220621470373053906" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I wish to thank the entire Wapapura team for pulling through (Ivan, Jorge, Maia and Sole) plus Ziggy, Misha and Richard for their equipment;

Ha sido un viaje muy largo pero finalmente llegó el momento en que estábamos de vuelta en las montañas con todo el equipo para hacer nuestra primera grabación "oficial". Y el día fue aun más especial porque cayó en el Solsticio de Verano de 2008. No es un mal día para inaugurar un proyecto de <span style="font-weight:bold;">Grabaciones de Música con Energía Solar!<br /></span><br />Tuvo lugar en un espacio maravilloso en el jardín del restaurante de La Alcachofa de Pitres. Acompañados por las espléndidas vistas de las majestuosas montañas de la Alpujarra, tuvimos el privilegio de grabar, por unas circunstancias muy especiales, a dos músicos extraordinarios: Rob Mazurek, originario de Chicago y Guilherme Granada de Sao Paolo, Brazil.<br /><br />Ellos son los dos componentes del cuarteto de Sao Paolo Undergound que lograron pasar la aduana española en el aeropuerto de Barajas. Por un absurdo conflicto que hay actualmente entre España y Brasil, dos de los músicos de este proyecto no pudieron pasar la frontera y fueron devueltos a Sao Paolo. Esto dejó a Rob y Guilherme con la muy difícil tarea de intentar hacer la gira como un dúo en vez de un cuarteto.<br /><br />Sin embargo, durante toda la gira demostraron su habilidad como músicos profesionales y su actitud positiva, y lograron transformar esa situación conflictiva en un proyecto nuevo que fue adaptándose a cada espacio en los que actuaron. La nueva génesis que fue formándose no es algo que se pueda denominar un concierto. Fue más bien como una conversación íntima entre dos personas muy interesantes utilizando los instrumentos y samples que lograron pasar la frontera con ellos.<br /><br />Ahora, lo que si cruzó el océano con ellos fue mucho equipo electrónico que puso a prueba al máximo tanto a nosotros como al equipo de energía solar. Además, teníamos que utilizar mucho equipo e instrumentos de distintas personas para realizar este concierto y, como era la primera grabación, todo esto nos causó bastante frustración para lograr que todo sonara bien. Y al final lo que aprendimos fue que todavía tenemos mucho camino por delante y mucho por aprender para seguir haciendo grabaciones con energía solar en lugares remotos. Pero, dicho esto, todo salió bien porque al final Rob y Guilherme asumieron sus posiciones y nos regalaron una noche de su bella música.<br /><br />Para escuchar partes del concierto sube a la entrada en inglés donde encontrarás los reproductores y después haznos saber tu opinión.<br /><br />Quisiera agradecer a todo el equipo de Wapapura todo su esfuerzo (Iván, Jorge, Maia y Sole). También a Ziggy, Richard y Misha por prestarnos su equipo; a Javi y Hersh de la Alcachofa por ofrecernos su espacio y por supuesto a Cat Jary por estar siempre allí apoyando y ayudando a que esto sea una realidad.<br /><br />Ah, y también a Mike Orlove que me puso en contacto con Rob, y de allí surgió todo....<br /><br />Gracias a Rob y Guilherme por una gira inolvidable de la Iberia Mágica.<br /><br />Para saber más acerca de ellos o comunicarse directamente pincha estos links:<br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/flubio">http://www.myspace.com/flubio</a><br /><a href="http://www.robmazurek.com">http://www.robmazurek.com</a>wapapurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01540535302386181137noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5002072030186980151.post-5131423910161938422007-10-21T10:58:00.000-07:002008-12-10T11:36:13.273-08:00El Piloto en las Alpujarras<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8tfVtXCvWxcN9-TlNm07XdBaE2vCz3iOvbcLD__D3s9pCigT0xc9CWk8FrP_l_ioBz9yXFz_vhGPc6u1ESPqQKu54mzv68JLYrDlSRm4bxWpk2GBj_kcIu_D_dqKFKNwJP3aVbpy6wuKu/s1600-h/DSCN2698.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8tfVtXCvWxcN9-TlNm07XdBaE2vCz3iOvbcLD__D3s9pCigT0xc9CWk8FrP_l_ioBz9yXFz_vhGPc6u1ESPqQKu54mzv68JLYrDlSRm4bxWpk2GBj_kcIu_D_dqKFKNwJP3aVbpy6wuKu/s320/DSCN2698.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141612033265942706" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Vaya tantos caminos hay que andar y tantas causalidades hay que encontrar para finalmente llegar a realizar una idea!!<br />Pues, finalmente, este día super guapo de otoño en Octubre se llego a juntar todas las piezas para hacer las primeras grabaciones.<br /><br />Las Piezas fueron:<br />Ivan -- técnico de sonido<br />Jorge-- técnico de Energía Solar<br />Rafa-- organizacion y producción<br />Cat -- directora musical y contacto local<br /><br />Gracias a cada uno y al grupo de amigos que nos acompañó por dar su apoyo para que este día tan bonito llegó a ser.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3YEkGl5Y9BeAWwhatq-YvjGzyL_dmnU0Xzsf4BNS__jBcz2igiW5bYgmPdWZY_droZSvTC2QLHVMZ0P9tNto6C4DevWQczAisuHll2qpdub4AwowzAfE95yISXBfCul3D2QWuQsPmQoW/s1600-h/DSCN2669.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB3YEkGl5Y9BeAWwhatq-YvjGzyL_dmnU0Xzsf4BNS__jBcz2igiW5bYgmPdWZY_droZSvTC2QLHVMZ0P9tNto6C4DevWQczAisuHll2qpdub4AwowzAfE95yISXBfCul3D2QWuQsPmQoW/s200/DSCN2669.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141561262457536562" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXuNi0phGu3Z-JFPMIBfEvaGko8hjVGs9FY2enOy0YT6m6ftv0_LYAHUuciWb1LgpWcC5T46R-jPyGTvhKK4ItROe4jNThyUwsMDE7kX2Ybl2pkLn96dGuWvytbmp4J9eusRsxbv7P9S9-/s1600-h/DSCN2697.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXuNi0phGu3Z-JFPMIBfEvaGko8hjVGs9FY2enOy0YT6m6ftv0_LYAHUuciWb1LgpWcC5T46R-jPyGTvhKK4ItROe4jNThyUwsMDE7kX2Ybl2pkLn96dGuWvytbmp4J9eusRsxbv7P9S9-/s200/DSCN2697.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141561764968710210" border="0" /></a><br />La primera sesión fue una grabación en un Espacio Sonoro.

Esperamos poder volver pronto para hacer mas grabaciones de ellos y de otros músicos en esta Iglesia.<br /><br /><p>Madre Alpujarra:<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Madre_Alpujarra.mp3&bgcolor=000000" width="200" height="20"> <param name="movie" value="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Madre_Alpujarra.mp3&bgcolor=000000" /> <br /></object><br /></p><br /><br /><p>Cordero de Dios:<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Cordero_de_Dios.mp3&bgcolor=000000" width="200" height="20"> <param name="movie" value="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Cordero_de_Dios.mp3&bgcolor=000000" /> <br /></object><br /></p><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56sV3TKwpuGtGzzrynncngjxUGmGW9KFb9thnAYZ0KRwscuw2rAviAHomfTofTRnilMAJB_ahvKJIuNgPNpmHltXxzHzL6eIBGhD-HUqo_P7CwCWJ_EuhtuCPhLlVHJDkUJqQf8qqxhsQ/s1600-h/DSCN2783.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56sV3TKwpuGtGzzrynncngjxUGmGW9KFb9thnAYZ0KRwscuw2rAviAHomfTofTRnilMAJB_ahvKJIuNgPNpmHltXxzHzL6eIBGhD-HUqo_P7CwCWJ_EuhtuCPhLlVHJDkUJqQf8qqxhsQ/s200/DSCN2783.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141562778580992082" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4RxL3rphm177AC-e5fU_E4HQBhvfVUbYgJHtB8vsyeZeXI2bf4K-rsNzOQyZoTLCFPqxHGKRuHstZmTpwrR87_K7wus99g-4k_T9Qc4facdNN_zxScCZav5VZfE1rVfcns6wTySlMnJi/s1600-h/DSCN2763.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4RxL3rphm177AC-e5fU_E4HQBhvfVUbYgJHtB8vsyeZeXI2bf4K-rsNzOQyZoTLCFPqxHGKRuHstZmTpwrR87_K7wus99g-4k_T9Qc4facdNN_zxScCZav5VZfE1rVfcns6wTySlMnJi/s200/DSCN2763.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141563285387133026" border="0" /></a><br />La segunda sesión fue la primera grabación en un entorno natural utilizando la energía solar para alimentar al equipo de grabación.

It was the first try with the recording equipment on location and we recorded the local choir at the church of Ferreirola. We would like to thank the priest for letting us record and enjoy the amazing natural acoustics of this important monument for the local village. We also give great thanks to the local choir that came together at very quick notice and allowed us to fine tune our equipment while they sang. We hope to be back soon to do more recordings of them and other musicians in this church.<br /><br /><p>Madre Alpujarra:<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Madre_Alpujarra.mp3&bgcolor=000000" height="20" width="200"> <param name="movie" value="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Madre_Alpujarra.mp3&bgcolor=000000"><br /></object><br /></p><br /><br /><p>Cordero de Dios:<br /><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Cordero_de_Dios.mp3&bgcolor=000000" height="20" width="200"> <param name="movie" value="http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/dewplayer.swf?mp3=http://elnumero8.com/wapapura/Cordero_de_Dios.mp3&bgcolor=000000"><br /></object><br /></p><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56sV3TKwpuGtGzzrynncngjxUGmGW9KFb9thnAYZ0KRwscuw2rAviAHomfTofTRnilMAJB_ahvKJIuNgPNpmHltXxzHzL6eIBGhD-HUqo_P7CwCWJ_EuhtuCPhLlVHJDkUJqQf8qqxhsQ/s1600-h/DSCN2783.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi56sV3TKwpuGtGzzrynncngjxUGmGW9KFb9thnAYZ0KRwscuw2rAviAHomfTofTRnilMAJB_ahvKJIuNgPNpmHltXxzHzL6eIBGhD-HUqo_P7CwCWJ_EuhtuCPhLlVHJDkUJqQf8qqxhsQ/s200/DSCN2783.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141562778580992082" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4RxL3rphm177AC-e5fU_E4HQBhvfVUbYgJHtB8vsyeZeXI2bf4K-rsNzOQyZoTLCFPqxHGKRuHstZmTpwrR87_K7wus99g-4k_T9Qc4facdNN_zxScCZav5VZfE1rVfcns6wTySlMnJi/s1600-h/DSCN2763.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4RxL3rphm177AC-e5fU_E4HQBhvfVUbYgJHtB8vsyeZeXI2bf4K-rsNzOQyZoTLCFPqxHGKRuHstZmTpwrR87_K7wus99g-4k_T9Qc4facdNN_zxScCZav5VZfE1rVfcns6wTySlMnJi/s200/DSCN2763.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5141563285387133026" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The second session that took place later this day was the first solar powered recording in a natural outdoor environment.
