Alhambra: A pearl set in emeralds


"Stigmas, Enigmas and Stereotypes
"
(A book by Ana C. Antunes)

A salmon coloured edification, a red fortress surrounded by a evergreen forest, Alhambra, in Granada, can be considered a fairy tale. The region abounds in pomegranates, from which probably derives its name, Granutus in Latin meaning 'many seeds', a red fruit which main symbol represents the heart, or love and the affection form from a human being. Or it could also mean "Karnaltah" or Karnattah-al-Yahud, and the Arabic words kurn, " a hill," and nattah, " stranger,"—the " city " or " hill of strangers."
Talking about Moor, mohr and more, I just finished another mini-opera set for children and filled with witty and animated characters. "O tell all" is part of my Shakes Opera Collection based upon Shakespeare's plays. And it's now available in the link: http://www.lulu.com/content/2317248 or you can listen it from the CD (audiobook):
"Shakes Opera"
"O Tell All!" (from the Collection "Shakes Opera")

Sara Baras: A Palindrome


Sara Baras is a flamenco dancer born in Cadiz. She's here in Chile, and yesterday she danced her show "Carmen" in three acts at the Municipal Theatre. Her professional trajectory leads to a palindrome (but it's already written in her name;) in vogue and not vague, but divulging her Art, she goes all around the world to come back, front and foot to her own roots. I can say that Ana is a palindrome wor(l)d, coming and going and always returning as well;)
Quo Vadis? Cadiz!

WowParaiso















"Cheery Shoes"

Ana went to Valparaiso,
the harbour city of Chile.
The sky was so blue,
it was not so chilly,
so she took off her shoes
and walked on the streets.(bis)
She danced until she could fleet
climbing up on the big valley,
to the edge of a pit.
There she took a flower
from a fine old tree
and she felt so free...(bis)
Her shoes accompanied her trip,
But then they took another flip.
And ran away
They didn't follow her way.
She looked but they were gone.
She cried out alone.(bis)

Then they came back
and now she wears her shoes
like a bric-a-brac.
That's the end
If you want more
come back once again
just to sing the refrain.
(Poem and tune by Ana Antunes, based upon "Tolin Tolin Tolan";)
