Noite de Gran Chi A house standing across from GA.KOPPER guesthouse. It’s a small café named "Gran Chi." We held a live performance at this favorite place, where I often came for event meetings, dinner with acquaintances, and sometimes to practice piano. Inside the warm room with a wood stove, it was a night filled with music and voices. Trombone and guitar performances. Poetry readings. Band performances. With a break for roll cake time, there was also guitar singing. Though it was less than two hours long, the smiles and applause from the audience, and the laughter of the café owner and the sound engineer, were all delightful moments. What can we do next in this place? Even though the live just ended, I feel a bit restless.
