From Tonya Parravano (6/27/10): "Hola a todos las familias y amigos de Anima! Today we traveled by bus through the winding countryside into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. This is a photo from the rooftop pool area on the Hotel Carmen-our home for the next two nights. The two steeples are the Basilica where tomorrow's concert will be. We toured the breathtaking gardens at the Generalife and the extraordinary Alhambra. We will have lots of photos & stories to share."... read more

From Tonya Parravano (6/27/10) "Last night's concert in Cordoba was great. As the concert built, people strolling through the park began coming in to see where the beautiful music was coming from. Local Spaniards were most appreciative of the Spanish music - but they really got excited at all of the energy the chorus put into the American set. The kids raised the roof on the church with a very fun rendition of their infamous arrangement of Old Time Rock and Roll." ... read more

From Tonya Parravano: Buenos Noches a todos! Today we arrived in Cordoba! That is the Mezquita in the background on the other side of the Rio Guadalquivir. We walked across the Roman Bridge and had a very interesting tour of the Mezquita - which is an extraordinary combination of cultures. Parts of the building were originally built as a mosque dating back to the 8th century which was expanded several times and then converted to a cathedral in 1236. We are getting reading for dinner. Tomorrow a day of shopping, sightseeing and multiple concerts.... read more

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Yesterday I have had the great privilege to see the choir in my town (Osuna). . .Yesterday I received several surprises: 1: the quality of the choir, the good impasto (sound-colour), its enthusiasms and joy for the music and singing! I'm a great fan of children choirs and boys choirs. . .For this reason I was a little surprised not to know Anima Singers and I expected not an especial thing. . . However, it was wonderful, marvelous, moving! What a lovely concert! Thanks, thanks a lot, muchas gracias! I hope you come back soon. Second surprise: the audience. A lot of enthusiastic people, great applause. Thanks again and the very best for the young people of Anima and the friendly director! :-) Greetings." Rocío Sánchez ... read more
