Videos from Tejobar

... Last night I played in Tejobar. I just went there as usual. It was my third time there. My favorite place. You go there and I just play. It was Staruday night at 1:40 when I got there with my wife. It was full there was no place to sit down. All the videos were shot by Jorge Carlos Amaral de Oliveira - owner of Tejobar.

I am learning Portuguese repertoir. I started to learn pieces by Carlos Paredes. I am playing four pieces by him. In Tejobar I played Carlos Paredes: Verdes Anos that is a very famous Portuguese song.



There was a girl came to me asking "are you Sandor Mester?" yes I am - I said. "I am looking for musicians and I would like to play with you. Joao showed me your music in Fabula Urbis." Ok, lets play.



and Then I played my piece Serenade
