Feet tapping, hands clapping, children happy and running
round, singing and all sorts of musical instruments were on
at a free concert that was offered to our community recently.
The evening of Latin music was performed by Sophia Leon de la
Barra and Miguel Molina and they even came with a band cat,
local Libarian Louise Booth's cat Mimi and local dog, Stella
who spent the evening trying to play with the children - much
to 13 month old Poppy Forest's delight.
The evening's purpose was to get people's interests in the
music workshop that Sophia and Miguel plan to run for the
community, the workshop will mostly be working with panpipes.
"Music is really good to explore things about yourself "
Miguel Molina says.
The workshops will include piñata making and drawing and all
forms of art and they are being run because they are a great
way to explore different arts and what they involve.
By 2009 they hope to have the funding to get these music
workshops off the ground but until then they are having
weekly get togethers in Bland Park that include activities
such as dancing, painting mask making and other things and
they are asking for other members of the community to
participate by taking part in it and also just to come in and
join in with the fun as it is open for all ages.
