The songbird was singing so we stopped off for a romantic slow dance to Jean Munro's beautiful voice.

... a very chill way to start my Saturday evening...

opera, mariachi on mother's day at opera joven

opera joven : the a list : mother's day, originally uploaded by rafeejewell.

This weekend Opera Joven sim opened to a successful crowd of enthusiastic avis. Lago de Chapala & Isla de los Alacranes is a beautiful addition to both the culture of Mexico and the grid itself.



The sim, Opera Joven is a non-profit organization for the Jalisco community in Mexico for promotions of the Jalisco and Mexican cultures.

Mariachi music was playing during the Mother's Day celebration on Sunday afternoon. Dressed in Charro outfits, Brent Renard and his fellow performers gave a beautiful show of vocals. Soaring voices and acoustic guitars enhanced the Spanish words and romantic music.

Big thanks to Brent Renard for this new sim offering and the joys of opera. The "opera" is live in Second Life. And the crowds that showed up today prove that this music is well-received here in our virtual world.

One of the members of The A List! is a virtual unknown musician in SL. He is an extraordinary pianist of classical, jazz, contemporary and original compositions.

We (Xavier and Raftwet) both discovered him one evening while clubbing on the grid. He was playing at The Glenn Gould Performance Space and he is here again tonight.

The thing that strikes me is that he is playing in an unfinished build. The people who support him are real music lovers. He is bare bones, playing in his living room in the USA, and he cares nothing about his avis' look or where he plays.  A true artist...

Skyblue Swansong deserves a listen and the people who attended tonight seemed to think so too!
