Live music and stuff in Santander and Valencia, November 2021

A lot of stuff was going on this month; or, rather, I was going to a lot of stuff this month.

  • 4 November: Nico Casal @ Teatro CASYC, calle Tantín 25, Santander
      Another fantastic concert from the cycle Excéntricos 2021. Nico Casal (piano) was accompanied by Pablo Serrano (synthesisers, electric guitar).

  • 7 November: Jam session @ Pub Escándalo, Calle Río de la Pila 19
      Apparently, every Sunday now, from 8 pm till late!
  • 10 November: César Latorre Trio @ Rvbicón, Calle del Sol 4
      Finally, jazz in Rvbicón — and I learn about this concert a day before. I saw César Latorre with trio in 2015 (trio) and with Perla Batalla in 2017. This time, it was a different trio featuring Arturo Valero (double bass) and Félix Morales (drums).

  • 13 November: Suspensión @ Paraninfo de Las Llamas de la Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP), Avenida de los Castros, 42
      Suspensión by La Compañía Nueveuno (Madrid). The show was a part of the 10th International Circus Festival En la Cuerda Floja.

  • 15 November: Eva Ryjlen @ Cines Groucho, Calle Cardenal Cisneros, 4
      As a part of the cycle Cajas de música 2021, Eva Ryjlen (voice, guitar, keyboards) and Jave Ryjlen (guitar, keyboards) presented Eva’s new album Onírica.
  • 17 November: Rafael Santana Trio @ Rvbicón, Calle del Sol 4
      With Rafael Santana (piano), Toño Gutiérrez (double bass) and Rodri Irizábal (drums).

  • 20 November: DistanS @ Paraninfo de Las Llamas
      Another show from En la Cuerda Floja: DistanS by Vol’e Temps (Granada), featuring Sara Ortiz (Narbonne, France) and Albert Moncunill (Igualada, Spain).

  • 22 November: Segaremos ortigas con los tacones @ Espai Cultural, Albalat dels Sorells
      By Teatro del Contrahecho (Valencia), directed by Idoya Rossi and Marcos Luis Hernando. With Laura Sanchís, Pilu Fontán, Isabel Martí and Alberto Baño.

  • 28 November: Valencia busca un torero @ Plaza de Toros de Valencia, Carrer de Xàtiva, Valencia
      I’ve never been to any bullring before, so seeing this one open to the public for free on occasion of some practical torero classes. After ten minutes or so, upon hearing that the violent part is coming, I had my curiosity satisfied.
  • From 9 October: Ahir, hui, sempre @ Palau de la Generalitat, Plaza de Manises, Valencia
      To celebrate the 600th anniversary of (the beginning of) its construction, Palau de la Generalitat opens its doors to the public. An exhibition of Valencian street artists creatively reinterpreting the murals of the Sala Nova and Sala de Corts is a good fun.

And once again, it’s almost Christmas time.
