Singing The Blues

If you love music, Cuenca is the place to be.  There are musical performances pretty much every week.  Many are free, or have a small cover charge.  Tonight we had dinner at La Parola, and listened to Bobcat Jack perform his style of Blues.  He popped up on the Cuenca scene while we were on our recent Iceland / New York vacation and seems to be playing every restaurant in town with a stage.  Jack is primarily a Blues musician, though he mixes in some Jazz. He is known for his interaction with the audience and modifying the standard tunes on-the-fly to reference local places and events (“I’ve got the blues in Cuenca”).

Unfortunately it was too dark for me to record any video of him, but you can go here to see his official videos.

As we left Bobcat Jack’s show, we discovered there was a free street show going on right outside the restaurant.  We stopped for awhile to listen to them too.

The Cuenca futball game had just concluded at the Stadium a couple blocks away, so that is where all the people walking through my video were coming from.  Cuenca won their game tonight, but are in 6th place, so not really in contention for the national playoffs.
