One of my favorite phrases while studying Argentina was "buena onda" or "que onda?" Onda translates directly into "wave" or "vibe"; therefore, when someone asks about a restaurant or bar (or any place) they might say "que onda?" If you're at all like me, the atmosphere, or onda, of the area is a big deal. That being said, last night I went to the Filene Center of Wolftrap and what buena onda it had! I went with a few friends to see Xavier Rudd and Rodrigo y Gabriela. We sat on the hill, had wine and cheese, and enjoyed the music. You feel like your at a tucked away amphitheater in the woods at the Filene Center, way away from the noise of D.C. I took a few pictures and hope to get them to you soon!
On a side note, I went because Xavier Rudd is a favorite singer. If you don't know him, I recommend his song "Choices". He has a light but powerful voice, plays the didgeridoo, the slide and normal guitar, the harmonica, the drums.. all at once! He's pretty incredible. He opened for Rodrigo y Gabriela, who OWN the stage with their jaw-dropping guitar skills. My hands and fingers hurt just watching them move across their guitars. I love little Gabriela--major girl crush! WOW.
So for this hump day of a morning, why not start the day with a little guitar session jam-- Hanuman.
Hope the onda of your day is wonderful!
