My last few days in Santander were a bit hectic. Too many Christmas lunches and other commitments, no time to write. Now I am back to Gran Canaria, trying to get as much sun as I can before returning to Cantabria in January. Here are the highlights of the first three weeks of December.
- 3 December: Javier Vercher Trio @ Rubicón, Calle del Sol 4
- Featuring Javier Vercher (sax), Deejay Foster (double bass) and Roberto Gatto (drums). I would have enjoyed it even more if not for a tall bloke who insisted on dancing in front of everybody and obscuring the view of the musicians, especially of Mr. Gatto. Listen buddy, whoever you are: it’s not nice, and your dancing sucks.
- 5 December: Los Zapata @ Taberna La Solía, Liaño de Villaescusa
- 50s, 60s and 70s standards (with the band members also in their fifties, sixties and probably seventies), from Elvis to The Beatles and Roy Orbison. No surprises here, but still: good stuff (and very decent food) in a vintage motorbike-themed pub.
- 7 December: BRUUT! @ El Almacén de Little Bobby, Calle del Sol 20
- Bruutal!
- 10 December: Flamenco Tablao @ Rubicón
- A warm and crowded evening of flamenco toque, canto and baile.
- 12 December: Christian Escoude Quartet & Lew Tabackin @ Salón de actos de la Fundación Botín, Pedrueca 1
- Featuring Christian Escoudé (guitar), Jean-Baptiste Laya (guitar), Thomas Bramerie (double bass), Bruno Ziarelli (drums) and Lew Tabackin (tenor sax, flute).
- 18 December: El Tumbao @ El Cazurro, Playa de La Arnía, Liencres
- Cuban trio playing salsa and son favourites such as Chan Chan, Llorarás and La negra Tomasa.
