Gurzuf, a music group from Belarus (Bielorrusia), will perform at the Evoluciona Musica Festival Hangar in Burgos, Castile and Leon, Spain, Center for Musical Creation on November 5, 2009, at 9.30 pm.
Gurzuf is an unprecedent duo of accordion and drums. Enough ingredients in the skilled hands of Egor Zabelov and Artem Zalessky, to create a music of unusual intensity, a resounding turmoil that makes you breathless, a torrent of images, evocation and sensations that touch us causing a deep experience of catharsis shared between the musicians and the audience.
An exaltation of melodic beauty, rhythmic ecstasy, pleasure in harmony and definitely in the search for the essence of music.
The Belarus music group Gurzuf breaks topics and thrills from the first compass with an unclassifiable and unique, splendid and captivating and amazing music.

The first time the White Nights were celebrated, was in Paris in the year 2002. The idea was to show the inhabitants their own city and contemporary creation in a different way. 

Due to the big success among the population, other European cities joined this unique idea and therefore the European White Nights were born. Other cities celebrating currently this one night event are Amsterdam, Brussels, Bucharest, La Valetta, Madrid and Riga.

In the year 2006 Madrid held the first White Night (La Noche Blanca) with increasing popularity and consolidation during the last years. 

Tonight and during ten hours, the fourth edition of the White Night is held, with over 100 art and culture activities and events scheduled throughout the traffic free inner city.

Different venues will offer all kind of activities for all age groups and tastes.

Hundreds of thousands of people will visit museums at night, listen to live music, street theatre, dance and other activities.

The different circuits include the Film Circuit, Music Circuit, the Visual Arts Circuit and the Performing Arts Circuit. Open events to choose from are an Afro Jam Session, a Chinese Rock Group, Arabic Worldviews, Image, Poetry and Chopin, Free dynamic readings or Movie Glamour at the Museum, just to name only a very few events. 

Si te gusta el turismo activo, y en particular las rutas ecuestres, elige una ruta a caballo de varios días por el Camino de Santiago en Galicia, España, dentro del año Xacobeo 2010, o en el estado de Bahía en Brasil.  

Opciones de vacaciones en caballo: 

1ª OPCIÓN -

Nos acercamos al año 2010, ÚLTIMO Año Xacobeo de la próxima década y algunos aventureros, que ya a principios de año me acompañaron a hacer nuestra ruta por Brasil, quieren hacer un Camino Francés desde la ciudad de Burgos hasta Santiago de Compostela en Galicia, España, en 18 días.

Como broche de oro y sin que sirva de precedente prometí llevarlos a caballo hasta la Plaza Del Obradoiro en Santiago de Compostela, Galicia. 

La fecha que se propone seria: - Del 15 de Abril al 02 de Mayo, 2010.

- Otras posibilidades del Xacobeo 2010. - Camino Portugués Barcelos (Oporto)  -  Santiago de Compostela. Del 28 de Marzo al 04 de Abril.

- Camino Francés de 7 días - tramo Galicia.

2º OPCIÓN

¿Os venís a Brasil?, imaginaros este invierno, mientras la lluvia y el frió se adueñan de nuestra ciudad, VOSOTROS disfrutando de la frondosa mata atlántica, amazónica y de los mares de playas tropicales, todo a la vez en el paraíso Brasileño de Bahía. 

Viaja y Ven a Cabalgar a Bahía en Brasil…

Descubre el estado de Bahía, Brasil, en un tour de 12 días, con su incomparable Parque Nacional de la Chapada Diamantina, ideal para viajar en familia, por su contacto directo con la naturaleza más virgen, contemplando sus impresionantes anocheceres, puestas de sol y de todo tipo de flores como las orquídeas. Y todo esto lo combinamos con una escapada turística a la Capital del estado y 1ª capital del País, Salvador de Bahía, la visitaremos en grupo limitado a 10 personas para poder cumplir nuestros sueños alojándonos y visitando los sitios con mas estilo y encanto en cada lugar y después  navegaremos y volaremos por su bahía De Todos Los Santos, visitando las paradisíacas islas de Boipeba y Morro de Sao Paulo.

Dos posibles fechas podrían ser:

- Del 05 al 16 de Diciembre, 2009 o

- Del 16 al 27 de Enero, 2010. 

A primeros de octubre me iré para Bahía - Brasil y tendría que tener ya en mi poder vuestra opción sin compromiso de reserva de plaza, pues después es muy difícil conseguir disponibilidad en los hoteles de Salvador y de las Islas. Para ello necesito que me deis vuestra opinión sobre esta opción y que posibilidades de acompañarme le veis.
