Podcast on Garcia Lorca

I am currently writing the book "The A to Z of Spanish Culture" and could not resist writing a whole chapter on Lorca. (Don't imagine a long chapter when I say "whole", each chapter of the book is under 1000 words long.)

D is for Duende can be downloaded from the site www.atozofspanishculture.com or from itunes, under the podcast of that name.

In "Sketches of Spain" (published on the Huffington Post) Tamsin-Smith elegantly shares her craving of inspiration coming from a dark place and muses over the concept of "duende", so often linked to Garcia Lorca.

Mourning in Style: Bernarda Alba the Musical

"Bernarda Alba" the musical is due to open soon on the London Fringe.
If anyone gets to see it, do come back to let us know what you thought.

Dali on Lorca

I didn't know that Dali had a painting of Lorca, created just 2 years after he died. I found it while browsing through another "exiled Spaniard"'s blog.
