What’s your favourite kind of music?

So what is your favourite kind of music? Some people find that question easy to answer.  My friend Wendy’s husband Con is a jazz fanatic, with too many albums for me to count them all: I’m not sure whether we are talking 100s here or even 1,000s!  My father loved classical music and would sit listening to his records in the dining room whenever my brothers and I had “Top of the Pops” on in the living room. 

Showing my age now (!) – I still love listening to music from the 60s, plus some light classical music, in memory of my Dad.  However, since moving to Spain, I have also got into flamenco in a big way.  I don’t think it is a case of which music I prefer, it’s more a matter of what mood I am in, and I am sure that many other people feel the same way.

I have pasted some links below to videos on youtube that were taken at the recent Música entre Vinos concerts, with music varying from flamenco to jazz via swing.  Needless to say, I enjoyed all these concerts even though the music was very different. 

I’d love you to tell me which is your favourite video – and why.  (Scroll to the end of this post for the comments box.)

  1. I enjoy good music, with a particular fondness for opera. But I also enjoy Dire Straits, salsa and cante jondo.

  2. If you like opera you would LOVE “Luz en la Navidad”, which we saw in Murcia for the first time last year. Live music from the Music Conservatory of Murcia with singers from El Café de la Ópera, videos and lights projected onto the buildings around the Plaza Cardenal Belluga, and it’s all free!!! We bought tapas and drinks at one of the bars on the Plaza (they weren’t expensive either) and sat and enjoyed the show. We are definitely going back this year.
