A thousand green hues

Featuring Mirta Reales and Lucía Lopez

This is the title of a music contest of the Government of Catamarca.

The slogan, to interpret an own version of Landscape of Catamarca by Rodolfo Polo Gimenez and record it with the original lyrics registered in sadaic ... which, as you will hear, is "a little town there, another beyond."

“You have to participate! ”, It was decided a few days before the delivery deadline. Spontaneous acts are the best.

Mirta and Lucia, guitar teacher and music teacher, carry the Catamarca melodies, the rhythm of a horse through the hills, the wind whistling on the stones, the water of the streams as, voice mirrors, in the depth of their souls,

Early on Sunday we would prepare the equipment: a small video-camera, a light tripod, two tergopol plates and a hair tie ... it's always a lot of air here and Lucia has long hair, maybe she can help you ...

The setting, we all agreed, the ditch of the Abaucán River, in the shadow of a White Algarrobo where the voices of Mirta and Lucía, the guitar and the box would vibrate under its Magic shadow. The location, John's farm.

We filmed under the shade of the white carob tree abundant with flowers where wasps were sucking.

Voices and Nature in Communion.

We add another shade of green, the green of the desert.

We did the editing at home, sharing roast chicken, lettuce and radishes from our garden and John's wine.

Thank you Mirta and Lucía, for giving us the opportunity to share an Enriching and Unique Sunday, an opportunity to Learn.

Now let's cross our fingers so that the jury can see the sincere roots of this version of Paisajes de Catamarca.
