Singer and songwriter cordula meer is playing one of her rare gigs in the sala monasterio in Barcelona on the 29.9. (21:30h). To find out more about her music and listen to some of her songs, check www.myspace.com/lacordu

Barcelona’s Plaza Catalunya filled quickly yesterday night after Spain beat Germany 1:0 in the finals of the 2008 European football championship.

Good reggae vibes in Apolo, when german reggae artist Gentleman played a gig in Barcelona yesterday. The mixed, young audience had no problem singing along his most famous tunes and helped to make it a nice, feel-good evening.

Rather than a normal dish, the calçotada is a happening: specially for this event cultured spring onions are barbecued on an open fire. The way to eat them, is to hold to one end of the onion and draw off the outer, burnt layer with the other hand. The onions are served with a special sauce on the base of tomatoes, almonds and olive oil. Dip and enjoy… yummy! For all the non vegetarians amongst you: This is usually just the first plate before a barbecue style main course, so don’t say no if you ever get invited to a calçotada!

Now I know for sure: not everybody is an artist! But as you can see, you need balls to go on stage and behave like this…
