From yesterdays birthday party and the youngest 80-year-old that I know.

Me and my dogs

Cityparty “Kulturkalaset” in Gothenburg, August 2012. Loud concert at Götaplatsen, thousand of spectators… the dogs doesn´t seem to mind.

Around the ghetto blaster at Rueda Sten.

 Rogers ghetto blaster have seen better days, but it does its job with excellence. At summertime the salsa aficionados sometimes gather around it to do some dancing at Röda sten.

Gothenburg. Sweden. The 4 of August 2012.

Cebreiro

  Cebreiro in Galicia lies at an altitude of 1300 meters. 8-9 of September every year there is a catholic ceremony at the church in honor of the Virgin Mary.  The Gallegos gather from all over the region for the event. Some arrives for religious reasons but many takes it as an excuse to party.. and oh my, they know how to party!

We arrived after a tough climb of 30 kilometers to Cebreiro conveniently the 8 of September.

The walk is over for this time, back home now, but still got a bunch of pictures worth showing.

Kraftwerk WOW!

Muévete con Manolito!

 One of Cubas best salsa “timba style” groups, Manolito y su Trabuco back again in Gothenburg. the band played last night at Kungstorget. And they gave, as always, nothing less than 200% of pure Cuban energy in their performance!

Way out smoked!

The WOW ( Way Out West) music festival in Gothenburg had a “meat free” concept this year!

Outside the fence the sinners where plenty though. This guy is trying a combination of barbecue and smoking!

May I suggest for next year “litter free”   Photo from 11 of august 2012

Tons of willpower in a nice package!

 

Adriana Mendes is the motor of salsa dance in Gothenburg. She came from Brazil a couple of decades ago to Sweden. With a combination of dance skills and iron determination she has founded her own dance school Adrianas Danshus.

Thanks to her never-ending initiatives Gothenburg now is the salsa capital of Scandinavia!
