A Night at La Cuadra


I wonder how you can possibly find the way to make people disconnect from their daily lives and let themselves flow. It would be great to find the magic potion to do that. That happened on Tuesday when we went to La Cuadra, the onrouters blended in the atmosphere of music and talk.
We all brought our beverages and best dishes to share, prepared the place which Pascual had previously watered to make it cool. He said there was a surprise waiting for us, but he couldn’t keep it a secret for long. We were going to listen to an authentic musician, grandson of the most popular breed of bagpipe players in Galicia.
It was magic, food and talk made us open our inner thoughts and feelings. All this was even better after the sound of music. Thanks to our gifted friends Pascual, Quisca, Vicente and Mariano, we enjoyed listening to songs from Mercedes Sosa, Víctor Jara or Silvio Rodríguez. We wanted to sing because it made us feel together on those lovely messages from our best songwriters.
At one point of the night, Peter asked me: “Carmen, is this for free?.” This question reminded me of the world we are creating and made me proud of a world we want to preserve. “Best things in life are free” was my reply and they should always be.
I would like to thank Pascual for gifting us with this magical evening as well as the rest of us, we are on the right track of the road.
