The show at Radio E.P.G.B

It's about time that I will write about it, isn't? All weekend and a bit more finished after that.... 

That show belongs mostly to Noa Drezner. She took some talented friends to be on stage with her as she always do. Shuky Shveiky was the singer. Hagai Leshem played the cajon. Adva Yermiyahu was the dancer - as it's always if it's the choice of Noa. And a little "surprise" for the second part. 

It's the second time that at least some of them gives a show at Radio E.P.G.B - first time that there was a flamenco show there was two months ago. It was kind of goodbye show for Noa and Adva before both of them were taking another flight to Spain. Now they are back and go on with shows. This place isn't really a radio station although the name. It's a pub. Even pretty close to my house/ Still I needed flamenco for knowing this place. Few days ago I found out it's a pub with shows, not necessity flamenco. I love flamenco and I love going to pubs, the mixing looks to me cool. Probably my age and the fact I'm from Tel Aviv helps the idea of loving it. And this place has the look of a cool smoky pub although smoking isn't allow there. All should be perfect, isn't? Well, no... Last time I came a little late and too many people came to see the show. When I say "too many" I mean it was too crowded and too difficult to move or see anything. And the workers of the pub didn't try to give a good service. 

This time they said when will be the doors opening and when the show suppose to start. And this time I didn't have any workshop at the same evening. I came early, not much after doors opening. Not many people, something like half were the crew of the pub. Found a place on the bar very close to the stage. Cool! Sat down and started to use my phone. Checking out the web, of course. After 15 minutes of sitting there I heard someone is calling my name. It was Adva. Hugs and kisses. We were talking for a moment. She was hurry to get ready for the show. A moment after that Noa was there. The same thing. After that came to me a bartender. Oh... I didn't see that coming! She asked me something which was sound like if I already ordered something to drink. I said "no". So she went to give service to a couple at the other side of the bar. Hagai came to order something to drink as well. He also said "hello", but in his case we still not in a relationship of hugging and kissing when we meet. By this time came another couple. Spanish talkers. They almost sat next to me. Before really sitting down the woman asked me if I mind to move one seat for they won't be too much on the edge. I did. Not only that didn't thank me - the woman needed to push her hand bag over me since she was sitting down till... And not her hand bag - she has a big ass and with it she almost took the also the seat that I moved to. I made a try to sign the bartender to come. When she finally came - she gave service first to the couple next to me. By the way - the Martini that I asked for is possible to take as refill thing without to give much more money. And she got back talking with the couple. When she came to me with a cup and Martini she asked me if I want to refill. First I want some Martini... She poured the Martini. Me?  a photo and start drinking. She gave me the bill and went away. I called her again. I asked her if I lost my option to make the refill thing. Oh, she didn't understand... She went to change the bill. Next problem was calling someone to fill my cup again. Happened only once after... And after missing parts of the show. Here is the hardest thing to get:



The show itself... Didn't start when it was told. And this time not really crowded. This time at the audience the real people of the flamenco community of Israel were me and Eti Guri who came a moment before the show has started. 

For a start all were on stage. Adva was there as well on stage, but she was sitting and made palmas. One musical part. After that Noa was telling about the show. Go on with music. Some of the crowd sat on the floor between me and the stage. Well, no one was hiding me. OK, so I had a pissing person next to me and received a horrible service, but I was there. A cup of Martini and some flamenco from the first row (if we don't take the people on the floor who did nothing wrong to me). Don't need much more than this. Were there two or three people with professional cameras (it's about time that I will have one as well, but...). I used my phone. I took some photos through my new "toy" and Instagram. 




After two or three charts - Adva came up to dance. Amazing as she always dance. The musicians were amazing as they always. She was dancing two or three danced before she sat again.



Noa was inviting Elyasaf Bashari to join them to stage. He sat at edge and played a bass guitar. I'm not sure if I heard him play before. I can't remember if I did before, but now I won't forget. Looks like talent magnetize some more talent. At least most of times. Until that part were three talented musicians and one talented dancer on stage. One more talented musician joined them. It had a wonderful sound. And I was looking for my second cup of Martini. 



Adva came back dancing. The outfit she was wearing wasn't really the same. She took off the bolero.Well, at least for one dance. And all was amazing for eyes and ears. Two more parts like this



An hour of moved over too fast. Noa was looking for someone to join them to stage. Time for fin la fiesta. She called Eti to join them. Not me as well. Never mind, I didn't want to be the non pro on stage. And "cold feet" that I will make a fool of myself as I did in a fiesta that Noa and me were there.... I had my way to take a video this time. I won't upload here, not now. Long story.

At fin la fiesta the first to dance was Eti. She do it cool. Her salida is always the same, but all that comes before changes. I think that this time she made it better than her ordinary. After her dance - Eti replaced Shuky at sinning. He was dancing his crazy thing. Got back sinning. Eti moved over and stood next to Hagai. As I know her- she probably wanted to replace Hagai this time and play the cajon. He didn't get up and didn't stop playing. Adva made the gran finale with her dancing. Finish too fast. They are too good.

After the show I was catching Noa for another little talk. I told her that I took some photos. She was happy and asked to get it. No problem. I have the e-mail address of Adva, she will have it. After that talking a bit with Adva as well. Just telling her to wait for the photos. Before I went away Noa seemed like she has something to say. Before she did... Her brother came to talk with her. He came as well to see the show. She introduced between us. A moment after she asked me if they look similar. Yeah, very easy to see that they are brother and sister. And he looks cute. About her I already know that she's a cute person and a great guitar player. 

And until next time...
