Today, on the 26th of February of 2014, Paco de Lucia guitarist has died. I would like to share with all of you one of his album called LUZIA. Many years trying to enjoy one of his concerts but always were sold out! Today as many days, I have been listening to him!
I’m in love with the art of this man. LISTEN TO THIS!
MAIKA MAKOVSKI a great smiling musician girl! Piano, electric guitar, spectacular voice and a band. Last Friday I had the pleasure to watch and listen to her last music piece DESAPARECER. Powerful voice and talent girl on the scenario. She started playing the piano, singing and dancing at the same time, transmitting positive energy with her big smile. You could feel that she was totally relaxed and secure with her performance. The band that goes with Maika is amazing…three artistic boys with a nice voices and good quality of playing (bass, guitar and drums).

Sasu Laukkonen Chef&Sommelier Restaurant cook speaks to us about «The Beauty of the Tasting». During my last year in Helsinki, I had the chance to work in 2 Spanish Food Projects. One is Goola, an online food shop and Alambique Oy. Both wanted to bring the best tasting pieces of Spanish food to Finland. My last months, I have been visiting professional chefs in the city. One of them was Sasu Laukkonen. A creative, humble and marvelous cook! I knew him in one of my selling appointments and after 1 hour of conversation with him, I proposed to make an interview. It was amazing chat with him. His way of expressing and speaking about ingredients and food designs made me think more about the richness that we have in Spain. We have a high quality food and land. We are lucky!
Of course, everything has been possible thanks to my friend and best professional Jose M. Sanchez of Kinetic Pixels and my boyfriend, Tuomas.
Here you can watch and listen to the interview. Do it! It’s really relaxing and interesting chat! ;-)

Excellent conversation with Johanna Vuorio, Manager Director of NIKARI, Wood Design Furniture from Finland. She was speaking in an emotional and beautiful way her feelings with the wood as a material and NIKARI way of working. A pleasure to listen to her. ”All the Designs are, in a way, silent. They have some kind of soul”.
This time, in Helsinki, I have collaborated with Jose M. Sanchez from Kinetic Pixels. A very good Spanish friend who lives in Helsinki since 7 years. It is not my first time working with him, I love his works and I like how he captures his emotion into his shootings. I always count with him in audiovisual point of view. Thanks Jose for your great work. A pleasure! Hope we can make more!

As you know Design in Society are audiovisual interviews with people who are into fashion, architecture, social art and performances. These conversations try to analyze what kind of effects provoke daily consumption of design in our society. The Idea is to make this research around the world, visiting the most trendy cities (Bilbao, Seoul, San Francisco, Doha, Helsinki, Shanghai…) chatting with lots of curious people and analyzing different point of views, reactions and ways of thinking.

Some weeks ago Cinemaissi Latin America Film Festival of Helsinki chose Sounds of The City Documentary directed by Stina Lundkvist, Swedish woman, and interpreted by Sergio Castrillón ,Colombian man. Great combination!!
This March I met Sergio Castrillón in Arkadia International Bookshop in a poetic evening. Both of us, we were reciting some poems written by our friend Leonardo Sevilla. I remember Sergio with his Cello relaxed and smiling. When It was his turn, he started to recite mixing his sweet colombian accent with his improvised cello music, amazing! I can define Sergio as Contemporary Street Art Musician. He is an improvisation lover and he likes to collaborate with different people. He knows how to be in the street, around this society.
Stina Lundkvist and Castrillón’s Documentary represents Sergio’s music project. At the end, it represents his way of thinking, his way of living and his way of understanding passions supported by Stina filming point of view. I love it! I want to share with you these 20 minutes of great thoughts and acts.
Watch the documentary:
I want to share with you this amazing dancing video. I titled as «Dancing to the complexity of emptiness» because I have felt totally hypnotize with Sigur Rós song and I followed the complex movements of dancers. Great Choreography!
