An evening of toreros, bulls and Harlequins

May 10, 2026 • 05:30 PM

Gisa Michelón: a dancer who is always moving on, who doesn´t stand still and every time she goes on stage she has something new to present and to surprise her audience with. Her new show Flamenco y Picasso "De Málaga à Paris" opened at Munich´s Künstlerhaus patio on 26th July 2016. The rain had stopped, the beautiful venue was sold out, a smell of Spanish chorizo-tomatoe-manchego toast in the air.

Gisa Michelón entered the patio with a folkloristic flower hat which was a giant bouquet,...

May 10, 2026 • 05:30 PM

The indie festival Primavera Sound opened up its great lineup on 1st June for the 16th time with Britpop legend Suede who gave a free concert to the Barcelona citizens and the international crowd that was already in the city for five days of bliss. The first two festival days coincided - or not - with a metro strike. The trains were packed but people relaxed even though they were sandwiched and the concert about to start - and the metro not moving.

Finally at the Parc del Forum first-time...

TSV1860 win Anglo-German Boxing Tournament but fans the real winners

May 10, 2026 • 05:30 PM

When it comes to football, Munich is a city of red and blue. The red half of the city follow the mighty Bayern Munich and the blue, TSV 1860. It's the same colour combination in amateur boxing too.

On Saturday night at the Städttische Sport Hall in Sabener Strasse, just a stones throw away from the training ground where the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Franck Ribery and Thomas Müller spend their days developing their skills on the football pitch, London ABA came to take part in an annual...

Ilustrated Tale: A signal

May 10, 2026 • 05:30 PM

 I will stop thinking for a while. I can´t, the music is a disaster and I came with Nataly. Who would think trying to get out of a breakdown going round bars with his sister? Although I´ve given up smoking, I keep on carrying my lighter everywhere. I light it and blow it out once and again. 'Let´s go,' I say and Nataly, behaving  as my therapeutical companion, jumps up from her seat as a spring. 'Where?,'  'Anywhere... anywhere you like...'  'Are you hungry?,' 'No, but I´ll go with...

Macy Gray and How Life Is

May 10, 2026 • 05:30 PM

Macy Gray is quite unconventional, and for those who didn't go further than her one hit wonder "I try", the concert on 22nd February 2015 in Muffathalle would have been one without too many expectations. Not until the American singer, songwriter and producer, originally from Ohio, appeared on stage with sparkling outfit and a solid jazz band behind her to grab our attention, does it become apparent from the very first tone, that she is a very special musician. Macy Gray's music history is not...
