Noche de Bohemia

"El concepto Bohemio es la coexistencia, es socializar con amigos en una atmosfera de camaraderia, donde la musica, canciones, poemas, anesdotas, y toda la espointaniedad es el el evento principal."
"En la Bohemia todos los invitados pueden participar y cantar como coro, recitando y o tocando un intrumento musical. Y si no se es necesario tocar o cantar con virtuosidad porque para ser Bohemio simplemente se necesita estar enamorado, excitado, apacionado, y o sumamente herido."

Bueno es un echo que en la Bohemia dodos somos una familia con un solo fin y que es pasar una velada maravillosa cada vez que estemos reunidos. Es bonito ver como tantas diferentes nacionalidades unidas formamos una sola familia con un solo fin, convivir y propagar la union sin descriminacion de ningun tipo.

Podria escribir y escribir sobre los multiples pros del porque si alguno de ustedes que lean esto y no an tenido la oportunidad participar deverian de simplemente asistir presentarse y pasar una velada muy amena donde el talento principal pienso you es el de saber disfrutar el canto y los poemas ahi regalados a nosotros.

Y para darles un pequeno ejemplo de el talento ahi derramado simplemente escuche y vea los siguientes videos, le garantizo que les van a gustar.

Fogata Nortena

There's an old Mexican tradition that mostly happens in small towns in Mexico. People used to have a "Nocheada" (an overnighter) or a "fogata" (a fire or camp fire). In either one of this, family and friends gather around the fire and they get out the wooden guitars, start passing the tequila and beer and basically spend the whole night singing, obviously the more people drink the better the singing, errh or at least that's premise.

Being a city boy all my life and leaving Mexico when I was only 12, I did not get to experience them but movies and TV documentaries highlight "nocheadas" as a fun happy time to be with your friends and express your feelings with music. No one cares if you don't know how to sing, actually every one sings at the same time so if you don't know the song it's still OK, no one will notice.

"Do you remember such and such song? Do you know it? Let's sing that one next" every one seems to take turns at this phrase, I did however have some cousins that pretended they could play the guitar and we did have our home made version of a "nocheada" back in Mexico many, many years ago.

So surfing through YouTube I was listening to some songs I like and I found this one by Ana Barbara that exemplifies the idea of a nocheada or fogata, some of the end scenes show them sitting and singing around one. In this particular song she'll be joined by her sister and brother, none of them professional singers but yet they can carry a tune and in my opinion actually sounded very good together. This song is totally accoustic. Ana Barbara is in fact famous and her music sell very well.

Here is the song, hope you all like it.
