My two short and incredibly hot months in Valencia came to an end. Here’s the summary of the events of August.
- 10 August: NES @ Monestir de Sant Jeroni de Cotalba, Alfahuir
- Valencia-based blues-soul-world music fusion trio featuring Nesrine Belmokh (vocals, cello), Matthieu Saglio (cello) and David Gadea (percussion).
- 11 August: Jhonetsu — Passion @ Teatro Romano, Sagunto
- The Taiko drummers Yamato brought their fantastic new show to the scene Roman theatre of Sagunto.
- 17 August: Ximo Caffarena Quartet FolkenJazz @ El Perrellonet
- The XXIII Festival de Jazz de València continues in the charming fishing village El Perrellonet. Ximo Caffarena (saxophones, flute and vocals), Christian Molina (piano), Luis Llario (double bass) and Juanjo Garcerà (drums) play jazz versions of traditional Valencian songs.
- 21 August: Recital del Piano @ Espai Cultural, Albalat dels Sorells
- Charitable recital organised by Josep Carreras Foundation. Great choice of piano music and impeccable performances by two young pianists, Fernando Alarcón and Alejandro Espina, who look like brothers. Or at least they go to the same hairdresser.

Fernando Alarcón - 24 August: Sergio Pereira & Thaïs Morell @ Pinedo
- More concerts of the XXIII Festival de Jazz de València next to the beach. Brazilian guitarist and composer Sergio Pereira was accompanied by
Alberto Palau (piano), Ariel Ramírez (bass), Mariano Steimberg (drums) and Alexey León (saxphones, flute). The best part was provided by the fellow Brazilian singer-songwriter Thaïs Morell (although I could live without yet another cover of Aquarela do Brasil).
