Sunday's SYC concert was highly interesting. Packed with students, especially in the stalls, the acoustics were still really good. Or maybe it was good due to us sitting in the centre of the front second row. Yes. That near. Gosh. Anyway, the programme consisted of only pieces inspired by the Spanish and its poetry. I do not have any particular dislike for any of the works presented because I like them all. A change of 'scenery', one might say, instead of the same-old, same-old; music from the Western world. Allow me to clarify my stand. Spanish music is definitely something that one does not hear on the radio every single day. What one hears every single day is music from the likes of the French, the English, the Germans, the Italians, etc. But not the Spanish. One can say that Spanish music is exotic, just like how the Western world view Asian music as exotic. 'Exotic' here is due to the fact that one does not get to see or hear something every single day.

Hence, Spanish music is exotic to me. :)

Infact, we took quite a few but they all turned out not alright. This one here was the best from the entire lot.
