Camín de Cantares

It is clear that there is not lack of talent in Asturies. In this video Pepín de Muñalén-flute and three good friends (Ambás-voice, Rubén-Mandolin and Elías-Bouzouki) show how beautiful Asturian music is. The video belongs to the TV series "Camín de Cantares" in the Asturian television, a must for lovers of oral tradition, hosted by Ambás. In the series, Ambás interviews elder Asturian people gathering songs and stories, which at the end of each show are performed by young musicians (as in this post's video). A priceless job from which you can see plenty of videos here

Al final de cada programa músicos mozos interpreten les canciones (como nel vídeo d'esti post). Un trabayu ensin preciu del que podeis ver munchos videos equí

Ventanes en Forssa

Winter and Summer are quite different in many places but in few to the extent of northern latitudes like in Finland. Compare the view from the window of Anne's mother place above with the view few months ago...

Ypäjän Musiikkiteatteri

Two weeks ago we went to the summer theatre in Ypäjä. It was fun although Eero decided that watching a bit of the first act was enough :)

Vandalism on cormorant nests in Finland has grown dramaticaly this year. About 2,700 nests have been attacked with the loss of 10,000 eggs and nestlings. Via... This can add to the stories reported at David's blog, where cormorant's life and trouble in Asturies is reported with great detail

Chernobyl 23 years after

Relating to the previous post... it seems that Finnish mushrooms have still dangerous leveles of radioactive Celsium-137. Luckily we cooked well our recent harvest, which reduces the levels around 75%, still a bit worrying. Via...

Falando de pañar setes... parez que les setes Fineses tiene niveles peligrosos de l'isotopu Celsiu-137. Menos mal que cocinamos bien les que pillamos hai poco, lo que reduz los niveles un 75%. De toles maneres da un poco de cosa. Via...
