We were all blown away by Jesús Carmona and Company's White Bird performance here in Portland this week, "I can't stop thinking about it," one student wrote me, "The best performance I attended in my entire life. Heart stopping," another said. You can see pictures from the evening and a video below.

when I got to your house
it grew light out
Though you don't get to hear today's letra in the video below from the 2016 Festival de Jerez, you do get to see some of Jesús's dancing that follows it, along with bits of other pieces from the show ...
