La Casa Azul flies to Korea

As one could expect due to their success there, the recent reissue of "El sonido efervescente de LA CASA AZUL" (debut mini-album by the Guille Milkyway-produced band, in a luxurious re-release that also includes their three first demos and other rarities) is achieving an enormous success in the Asian countries. Japanese record shops keep sending new orders for the record, and now Korean label Happy Robot is going to release it in Korea.

Happy Robot had already released "Tan simple como el amor", LA CASA AZUL's first long-player, and this new Korean release will coincide with three live shows that will be offered by both CORAZÓN y LA CASA AZUL in Korean land, between May 14th and 18th.
To begin with, both bands will play on May 14th at the Naini Island Festival, a free entrance open air festival that goes on during two months in an amphitheatre in Nami Island.
The next show will take place on May 16th as a part of the Latin Music Festival, coorganized by the Spanish Embassy in Seoul and the Spanish Department at the University of Korea: a benefit show for orphan children and teenagers. LA CASA AZUL and CORAZÓN will be the special guests at this festival to be held at Inchon Memorial Hall, a thousand people capacity pavilion in Koryo (University of Korea). On this festival, which will be hosted by two renown TV presenters from public broadcasting channel KBS, and which will be recorded and broadcasted by nationwide public channels KBS and EBS, there will be different contests (there's even a prize given by the Real Madrid Foundation!), concerts by Korean bands and, finally, the guest star shows by CORAZÓN and LA CASA AZUL. If you live in Korea or plan to travel there from a nearby country, you need to know that tickets for this festival cost 5.000 wones (15.000 for the VIP tickets), and you can ask for them from April 27th on at the festival's own website (http://club.cyworld.com/latinmusicfestival - mind you, only in Korean!) or calling the Spanish Embassy in Seoul: 793-5703, 794-3581/2 (http://www.spainembassy.co.kr).

The last show will be a new free entrance show by both bands on May 18th, at the University of Yonsei Auditorium. It is very likely too that, due to the release of the reissue album in Korea and taking advantage of Guille Milkyway's stay in the country, he will do some other concert or promotional activity during those days, of which we will try to keep you all informed.
