My grand-mother left us a year ago today. She was a role model for me and many others, just as Nelson Mandela who passed away yesterday. Learn from your ancestors and pass it over to the next generations... 

 

" Personne n’est né avec la haine pour l’autre du fait de la couleur de sa peau, ou de son origine, ou de sa religion. Les gens doivent avoir appris à haïr, et s’ils peuvent apprendre à haïr, ils peuvent apprendre à aimer car l’amour jaillit plus naturellement du cœur humain que son opposé." 

  

"No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

R.I.P Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

My grandmother passed away last night,
she was one of my favorite persons in the world.
She had a great life and taught me many things.
May she rest in peace.

The Red Rum Orchestra.

This past week,
my brother Baltazar -the one in middle of the poster-
and his band The Red Rum Orchestra were rehearsing in Correns.
It made the days a bit more cheerful and lively.
I couldn't really define them,
but it's more rock than folk, but still not totally rock either...
A nice mix of styles and personalities!

They play on saturday the 14th of january at 9pm/21h
in Hyères (83-France) at Théâtre Denis (12 cours de Strasbourg).

Go and enjoy -it's free!- or visit their myspace!

Havana Kitchen.

It is so rare my brother Baltazar and I are home at the same time.
We did celebrate with Havana cigars and rhum...

Nagymama.

Just stumbled upon that song of Lana del Rey, made me think of my grand-mother. She is the wisest person I know. An artist. Always listening, always saying the right thing. She is 85 and still works on a new book. She wrote lots of them, about weaving, natural dye, minerals... My cousin Dóra wrote an article about them here.

Little story: she never smoke in her whole life, but one cigarette and there is a photo of it.
