Sometimes things are that much better when you stumble on them by surprise. While we were traveling recently, S’s friend Ricardo took us along a walk near Lugano to a little town called Gandria. We got there in the middle of a local concert by a mandolin group. It was very cool, and that much more so because we just happened on it. Take a look:
Gruppo Mandolinistico Gandria
At the time, I thought the song was some Viennese waltz, but I have since learned that it is Sobre las Olas (Above the Waves) by Juventino Rosas. For the whole story of our trip to CH, venture to the home of the Super Babe.
