It was an intense week of Spanish music and incredibly infectious rhythms with Aleix Tobias, working on ‘Luz Ibérica’. Aleix shared his music and arrangements with enthusiasm and patience. It was a tremendous experience sitting next to him in rehearsal and onstage for 7 days straight, absorbing some of his fabulous groove. My thanks to Aleix and the whole team, including Claire Gignac and La Nef, Andrew Wells-Oberegger, Rémi-Jean Leblanc and Guillaume Bourque.
