Back to basics

I'm just returning from my first trip to Helsinki since the short overnight stay on my way back from DC. The only music I've really listened to during these last couple of days was at the gig of Café de Abejas yesterday. The show was amazing, something I can't really put it to words. Because of the setting (studio of Reunanen Photography), you really just would've had to be there to understand. It was the first time I heard them play with percussion and cello added to the mix and it worked really well. The event was filmed, stay tuned for a live video sometime in the future.

Just now, sitting in the train I realized that I actually have my headphones with me and I had to tune to something. Looking at some of the music I've stored on my Google music library, I found an album by an artist that I should have mentioned a long time ago. It's actually a shame I didn't have this playing while I was pedaling away on the streets of Helsinki, in the beautiful spring sunlight reflected by the thawing ice and snow.
