There´s no woman so fast asleep that the sound of a guitar wouldn´t lure her to the window (Spanish saying)
by Peggy Seehafer, Anthropologist


So it happened that I was offered a ticket for the Los Romeros´ concert in Munich.
Sharing the scepticism of young people as for classical concerts, I kept my expectations very low. And was favorably surprised. The music put me into a state of daydreams. Some pieces of music caused real film sequences to be displayed on my inner eye.

Finally, after a short period of reticency, no one of the audience could elude the sentiment of Spanish music. The standing ovations at the end of the concert were evidence of unlimited energy that was transferred from the artists to the audience by the means of guitars. All the more was I surprised, because I wouldn´t have expected this kind of excitement with such a distinguished audience.

Nevertheless, I´m not sure if this experience is able to minimize my reservations as to classical concerts. I prefer classical music in top sound quality an in a comfortable environment. Also, I don´t feel that 1,000 like-minded attending persons are a sensory advantage.

Without challenging the performance of the artists, I sensed this concert of serious music very enjoyable.
