Busy days playing with Filarmónica Pampilhosense
Hi people!!!
On the last weekend we had very busy days. We played on saturday, sunday and also on tuesday(it was national holiday in portugal).
On Saturday(12) F.P (Filarmónica Pampilhosense) made a concert at Luso (the place that i work, and also the place that you guys went with us to have a drink when you were here in portugal). We played at the center of luso at 20h with +/- 150 persons watching and listening our songs. The concert took one hour and a half...
On Sunday (13)we went to Amioso. We never wented to this place before it takes almost 2h to get there and of course we made it on bus, it was real nice because the persons of that village were very nice and friendly to us.When we arrived we played a little bit of a march for some houses and they were giving us beer, whine and food. We played a little bit more and again, and again....in the middle of that we played the happybirthday to a little girl of 5-6 years old. We went to the church and we sing like you guys have seen back in portugal and also in belgium after we played in the streets for the saints(proslipt) like in Pampilhosa when you guys were here. Finaly we played 3 marchs at the end of it and we had to eat and drink again ... :-p
On Tuesday (15) we wento to play in the best party of the year "junça" party. junça is the name of the little village that we went to play on. This village is near the boarder with spain it take us 3 hours to get there on BUS. Junça is full of emigrants at this time of the year. They love to have F.P there every year and we LOVE TO GO THERE ... What does Junça have that is so special?!? Well at the beginning we can say that it is a party just like the others. We played at the streets in the morning, we had breakfast, then we went to the church, we played on it and made also the proslipt, wich it just take 5 minutes not more it is just around the church and that's it.(the church is in a isolated place but also very beautifull)
After that we went to eat in a restaurant wich is 100m from the boarder with Spain, it is in Vilarformoso (the one's of you that came by car certainly passed there). We had a concert in the afternoon, wich the big news is that David was the drumer(David is teenager that played drums with Olpa Big Band) we played very well for his first time on a official concert, we are all very proud of him. Anyway we played it and then it come's the special thing... you see, they have a tradition in Junça, in the end of the concert all of the people that are watching it come's after the band and we have to go to the house of all the butlers of the party to eat and drink(us and all the people). As you can imagine some people start getting drunk. But things start getting real crazy when we come up to play in "XIRIBI MODE" in the half of the way . Daniel Vieira the Sax-Man come's up to be the maestro of a few number of instrument player's that only play popular music that everybody know's. All the people start dancing and singing and some of them are real drunk... it is very funny althought in the end of the day we are all very tired because it is a very long day for us.
On the last sunday (20) we also went playing to a little village called "sobreiro". This was a party of 5 little villages that put it all together on one. The morning started badly because the bus that was supossed to pick us up at 08:30am just get to Pampilhosa almost at 11am so we were running late... when we get there they were nice to us we eat something before we started to play, but then we had to play almost 3 hours in a role with just a quick stop to drink a beer(it was very hot). After that we had lunch in a restaurant that didn't serve us well (we had to ask for more food :-( ) after that we went to sobreiro again but we dindn't sing at the church because they got there own group of singers. We played the proslipt, after that we played two marchs and we came back home(45m).
And you guys have you went playing?? what have you done with our band? hope you like to hear from Filarmónica Pampilhosense news...
waiting for your coments
