Chema :wink: sends this link of Anjani's web:

http://www.anjani-music.com/news.html

She speaks about the sensations of the tour and her affection for the "jamón ibérico".

In my opinion these displacements across the summer festivals filled with tourists is not the best way of travelling, enjoying and knowing a country.

ForYourSmile - a smallpoint on yourearlier post.
I think there are very few of us living in Ireland who can be accused with any acuracy of "gazing at our Anglo-Saxon navels."
Doesn't sit too well here!!!!!!!!!!!
No offence to my many Anglo Saxon friends across the sea - it's just not us!

Do you understand Gaeilge na hÉireann? I believe that it is not easy.

Ireland is one of the sites of the world where know well the "Empire's pressure". I talked just about the cultural pressure. :wink:

Hi! I know times are very fast but sometimes we don´t have any time. I was in Sant Feliu with Toni and I can tell you it was a great concert I know in october will be the second part of this tour in Spain. If you can come here, you have a very good time to discover Spain and the Leonard Cohen´s songs in Spanish!

Hola Tonyo, It's a pleasure and a nice surprise to meet hereabouts. :wink:

Chema has commented to me for e-mail about this possibility, but I have not found any sure information either.

Ens veiem aviat, Toni

Seen it, thanks for the tracklist here. Didn't like Perla's opening Suzanne. Then some blond guy stormed A Thousand Kisses Deep in English (it appears that was Jackson Browne), with Perla duetting with him just like Sharon Robinson on the record. John Cale magnificent on Alexandra Leaving, but unfortunately I have only part of it. Few freat flamenco touches over the songs. Nice girl performed Famous Blue Raincoat in Spanish, liked it. And Anjani is awesome as the performer/piano player and in appearance.

Can't wait for complete TV or DVD release as it appears it was professionaly filmed.

The footage was filmed for Spanish TV for some magazine/news program. No news about any DVD release! (And the whole concert was not filmed!)

Thanks, the 2nd shot indeed seemed like audience shot, but as the main shot was pro-TV master shot, I was thinking it's unedited footage from two cameras. I am not happy by this news, I'd like to hear it in better edit, and with complete Anjani and Cale's Alexandra. In any case, it would be great if someone capable in editing would edit master shot with inserts from audience shot, making the most complete versions of songs possible. It's strange to watch TV master shot (without end, and without sound on some parts), and then the whole show from beginning, from audience (firts row, great angle), and most of the songs incomplete.

really sad, it would make good DVD or at least, tribute (audio) CD.
