I suppose I should summarise 2014 which passed rather
quickly. Maybe because I did a lot of what I love – music!! According to my
maths I did 30 gigs last year!! 23 with my Polka Nova duo (or occasionally
trio), 4 with London School of Samba (Unidos de Londres), 2 with the few vocal
group, one with a vocal choir for the EFG Jazz Festival and one with Guilherme
Tavares, a Brazilian musician living in London. Let's see if I can beat this in
2015!
Now, the news I’ve been waiting to share with you – I’m
going to Brazil next week!!! It’s been almost three years since my last 4-month
trip so it was long due. This time I can’t stay that much because of work
commitments, but it’s still going to be three weeks! I’m excited, even though I’m
not planning anything outrageous – just a quiet time with friends and my BF’s family
in São Paulo. We bought the tickets back in September and now I can count the
days left to my departure. The lucky BF is already there, enjoying the
apparently sizzling hot weather. For me, it’s 8 more days. Let the countdown* begin!!!
Oh, and may you all have a Happy New Year, filled with smiles
that are real, friends that care, prizes that you deserve, good deeds that you
do and music that you enjoy!
