Simpy A Good Night.

I know, I am a massive slacker when it come to blogging. Forgive me.

Last Saturday, it was supposed to be "Nat time". I'm tending to have these nights on the weekends more & more often, which isn’t likely in my part. It's 5 a clock p.m & I'm cleaning my kitchen, so I can just have the night off without interruption about cleaning or anything,in the middle of my cleaning  my phone rings.... It was Boutis, she called to say she had an extra ticket to a concert & would like me to go with her, her mama & her brother Souli. I agreed to go, I had no idea what concert this was, I imagined a big stadium, and crazy people, all I knew was that it was a Brazilin Band.

To my surprise, it was a very elegant and fancy concert 1hr and 30 min away. We sat down, in a room that seated about 200 or so people and I looked around & saw mostly older people. Now, I was really confused.
What is this I thought? then these men in their 50's began playing instruments, I realized there was no lyrics just music. . It grabbed my attention I had never really been interested in this type of music. However...

I loved it. It was a old Jazz kind of band, I could form any lyrics I wanted in my head and just relax to the rhythm of the old time music that can let you travel beyond the 21 century. Back to when the long hard days working in the fields  tired the men’s body, and endless housework exhausted the women. Back to when listening & dancing to music wasn’t to be proactive or to prove anything, back to when you simply enjoyed the music and the relaxation it gave your body. "Nothing is better than real music" was the first words that i heard from their mouth. I could not  agree more two hours of listening to real music not the junk we hear now.

Afterwards, we waited in line to actually meet this band ans we conversed with them and they were all very nice people. They also said, their purpose of their music was to bring back the old days and to send out a positive message, because music now just degrades women, and is either about sex, drugs or money.
I had a blast. It makes me want to experience more things, to go out and see the history I don't want to be stuck in this century..I want to explore.

On our way back home Mama told us a story about how she found the man she wanted to be with the rest of her life. We heard crazy stories about everything that lead her to her life now. Until, we drifted off into sleep in the back seat. :)

Thank you Panaiyota for all the new things that you've introduced me to.
