Yesterday I went to the jam session of Christiania. The main feature of this is that there is a jam session, since by definition a jam is based on musical improvisation, and that of Christiania are played on all versions of popular subjects. The substance of the jam Christiania is in the musical routine that was created, and the quirky characters who frequent it.
The jam takes place in a dark bar and sometimes suffocating Børneteater Christiania. The musicians play on a small stage crowded. There are many chairs (never enough for the crowd) and a bar. Everything is pretty rustic.
As I said, how interesting the characters are jam. Let's go in order. First comes the Blues Man, a type Robust and gray, who plays the guitar sing like Mark Knopfler (eye, my culture music is quite low, with the exception of a thorough understanding of the discographies of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra and Mike Oldfield). Touches on many songs, them The road to hell, Route 66 , I am your man Huchi-knife, Unchain my heart, and finally Stand by me, with the public, euphoric, driven up the walls. Yesterday Have you ever touched the rain seen, it brings me good memories.
usually accompanies him Mark (?), In my opinion the best musician of the jam. It is a very low voice he always wears hats and who plays the piano like I've never seen anyone do it. Enters a sort of ecstasy, he put his eyes, and without looking at anything (even keys), plays beautifully. When the song just returned from this trance and greet the public by a heart with your fingers. I have spoken with him, is very shy and comes from Costa Rica. Sometimes playing a song just as Sound of silence , Knockin 'on heaven's door , Where have all the flowers gone , Come together , Yesterday , Imagine and Let it be; lighting the burners and I'm tearing.
The Blues Man returns to the anonymity of the bar to take their shots, and is the one who sings in English. This is a little heavy because his songs seem eternal, but we must recognize the merit of is that the more people get up on stage to play with him. Their songs are their own, and endlessly repeated choruses as catchy as Sing with me, Hey not want you to go , Way way way way , etcetera. People are very encouraging and dancing, I take the opportunity to go out for a while to buy a piece of pizza and a cookie very good for 20 Croner.
Spaniard is gone or is relegated to the background, and up the Cubans and Rastafarians playing Guajira Guantanamera, Get up for your rights and No woman no cry. Sometimes a real jam is formed, ie, pure improvisation, but I was just tired.

There are more characters: a fat and mustache that plays bass for hours without altering the least, the fat lip, one of the leaders of the roost and sometimes sings and plays bass ( I love little wing Fly ) and we were all stunned, then one that looks like Woody Allen and plays drums or, failing that, the maracas, the black trumpet player who has the ability to play the trumpet very loud and smoking as a trooper, the waiter who sometimes plays the flute or saxophone, and French rapper. Then there is another who believes the best of what is and gets to sing or play drums with little success.
Towards the public, is also nourished by quirky characters. There is a corner is the corner of psychedelic dancers that are girls with long hair and graceful dancing costumes dance to the hypnotic rhythm of the music. There are also men who dance, one looks like Tintin Wolff, very funny, every Sunday at the foot of the canyon.
However, despite the fact that it sees an event full of charm, the jam session has its shadows, for example, the few times I've seen women play, the elitism of some musicians and, finally, the most terrible of all, the jacket that I stole a distant day, with travel voucher included. Bad dagger give them coughing. Back
Trekroner, we were waiting an hour and a half inside the train at Copenhagen Central Station, because someone had thrown to the track. What more gruesome end, male.
