Missing a game of Chess on Friday is usually a very difficult task but I happen to join Vinay and his friends for a concert by Carlos Nunez in OudMarkt, Leuven on one of the summer Fridays. It certainly proved to be a better use of time....certainly better than loosing a game of chess :-)
I neither knew the artist nor the group and was very much naive about its creations. It was a total serendipity and in no time I joined the audience tapping and dancing and applauding to their tunes. It was informed that the music being played was Celtic music and it looked (....oops heard) so familiar. The symphony created by Carlos and the group had really made the audience spellbound. Every tune deserved a once more. It was really an unforgettable experience so much so that I tried to look for the videos on youtube and (after an effort to query a colleague for Nun yen's Spanish spelling) I was lucky. The more I hear these tunes, more I seem to fall in love with them....specially the ones with (mostly irish) dance performance going together with the tunes. Here are some of the videos:
