Todo se acabò

Juan Formell, the soul of the legendary Cuban salsa band “Los Van Van”  is dead.

I remember a couple of unforgettable new year concerts at the Malecon in Havana. There were also one occasion in Café Cantante when we first had to wait six long hours but when the band finally showed up they made it worthwhile making us all sing Hey Jude!

Magic occurs when Gothenburg’s own Gipsy king passes by!

The sound of the archipelago

musik affär 027ps

About 200m from my house we have the, sometimes, stormy North sea.. but when the wind gets calm there is a sound of silence out here in the archipelago.

During the afternoons though, I can sense sweet music from the rehearsing (all musicians) family upstairs.

Downstairs In the music shop people drop by to get some new plectrum, a note-book, a guitar or a statue of Mozart.
