Spain:Strong winds and heavy rain lashed southern Spain on Friday killing three men in a warehouse whose roof had been blown off The warehouse was in a farm near Coria del Rio a town of around 30,000 residents some 15 kilometres (nine miles) from the southern city of Seville a spokeswoman for local emergency services said Copyright © 2025. The News International, All Rights Reserved | Contact Us | Authors Spanish officials announced on Monday that they had confiscated seven tons of cocaine hidden in sea freight containers located beneath a farm The Civil Guard reported initiating the operation on Friday after spotting two suspicious speedboats at the Guadalquivir River’s mouth These boats were traced to a rural property in Coria del Rio where the suspects concealed the drugs in two underground containers this marks the largest seizure of cocaine smuggled into southern Spain via speedboat Due to its proximity to Morocco and its strong connections with former Latin American colonies Spain serves as a key entry point to Europe for international drug traffickers Portuguese authorities discovered nearly 3.5 tons of cocaine concealed within a shipment of bananas in a cargo vessel arriving from Latin America This operation, conducted in collaboration with Britain’s National Crime Agency according to police investigations coordinator Vitor Ananias to local media “Finding the drugs was only feasible due to the extensive and thorough efforts by investigators given the large volume of pallets transporting bananas on the ship,” police conveyed in a statement They stated that no arrests have been made Temitope is an astute writer and editor with keen interest in geo-politics With a keen eye for

Junta de Andalucía's Ministry of Health confirmed on Thursday the death in Navarre of a woman infected with the West Nile virus (WNV) She had visited Utrera (Seville province) and This brings the death toll from this virus to six just this summer all of them in the one Andalusian province or related to it in some way Ministry sources confirmed that the woman had visited Utrera in Seville province on 12 August and had then travelled back home where she eventually died due to this virus that can only be transmitted to people via mosquito bites To the death of the woman infected in Utrera are added the deaths of three people from Coria del Río one of them an elderly woman over 87 years of age (also with pre-existing medical issues) and another elderly person aged 71 The other two were another 71-year-old woman from Dos Hermanas (with pre-existing conditions) and a woman aged 86 who was infected in La Puebla del Río There are also dozens of cases of infection via mosquito bites the only way of transmitting the virus to humans with the regional health ministry reporting a total of 60 cases this summer in Coria del Río Specifically in relation to the Carmona resident infected with the virus it has emerged this Thursday that he had died after having his case of infection confirmed The councillor in charge of health matters at Carmona town hall said in statements to Canal Sur Radio that this resident of El Corzo housing estate was already suffering from other ailments and died "from other medical complications" unrelated to WNV itself Currently the Junta's PEVA plan (Andalucía's strategic plan to monitor and control all bugs and insects that could impact health) obliges all municipalities affected by the problem of mosquitoes transmitting WNV to deploy their municipal plans for preventive fumigation of these insects the affected municipalities are demanding greater "involvement" from the Junta in this problem especially that the costs of fumigation and disinfection should not be borne exclusively by the individual town halls Seville's provincial authority (Diputación) has contracted two specialist pest-controlling companies to strengthen the efforts required of the municipalities The towns listed by the Junta as needing this additional infected residents have also been confirmed in Alcalá de Guadaíra Comentar es una ventaja exclusiva para registrados The towns of Coria del Rio (Seville, Spain) and Madrid (Spain), were the lucky ones to be able to enjoy on Thursday 14th and Saturday 16th of February, an original show full of music and humor performed by the Japanese composer Mine Kawakami accompanied by Japan’s most popular comic duo Sandwichman (read news) attended the concert on Thursday 14th in Coria del Rio and has written this summary article together with an exclusive interview with Mine Kawakami where they talked about her fascination for the piano the music she has composed dedicated to the Camino de Santiago or her collaboration with Chucho Valdés among other things note that Coria del Río was the place where the first Japanese diplomatic expedition arrived in Spain 400 years ago and many of their members decided to stay in Coria later A great opportunity was presented to us on February 14 in Coria del Río (Seville The composer Mine Kawakami together with the duo formed by the two Japanese comedians Sandwichman (Mikio Date and Takeshi Tomizawa) arrived on Valentine’s Day For those who do not know Mine Kawakami and her personal journey I will begin by saying that she was born in the city of Nagakute had her tiny fingers stroking the keys of a piano For years her personal and musical search took her to Germany to finally find in Spain a home where she could continue exploring and training at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Madrid Perhaps having lived in several cultures has made her the versatile composer she is today Nicknamed “The pianist of the soul” for her delicate with which she manages to thrill and make us feel hopelessly vulnerable She is currently a regular composer in anime series and soap operas for NHK (Japanese National Television) and has done different works for film and television such as “Four Seasons in Japan” “Nekonoshippo Kaerunote” or the beautiful film of 2013 “The garden of the four seasons” for which she composed the soundtrack Famous and mythical is the joint work with Cuban musician Chucho Valdés Two very different cultures at the service of musical wealth at the piano which took place at the Teatro Real in Madrid “Sonata samurai” is the composer’s last published work and it was the OST of the cultural events organized for the commemoration of the “Spain-Japan year” A musical work that takes us 400 years into the past to describe the journey that Samurai Hasekura Tsunenaga had to face from Japan to Spain It goes without saying that she was the main incentive for me not to miss the opportunity of what was undoubtedly going to be a musical trip to Japan in three acts The show has three parts very differentiated by the protagonists and offered with duration of an hour and a half in its entirety which apparently was very distant culturally and in distance from Japan Coria del Rio is recognized as the Japanese-Andalusian village since the arrival of the expedition of the Keicho Embassy in 1614 to this little town of Seville region The Cultural Center of the Villa “Pastora Soler” of Coria del Rio massively invited all the villagers to be aware of the cultural wealth that this town has and a considerable number of Japanese spectators transported us to a retrospective trip from her childhood in Japan where the pianist herself narrated in first person with a monologue in comedy key she reinforced her explanations by assigning smells colors and feelings to specific sounds produced by the piano and so we could all understand and visualize what she proposed to us “The bear and I” is an adventure story that little Mine had to face from home to school every day “In Japan there are many bears and bears eat people but people in Japan also eat bears”; with this phrase Mine summarized that survival struggle of her childhood and she spoke of that memory as if it were still present and she knew how to project it into our minds through the piano with a theme full of epic and emotion Following she changed the musical registry she told us that she left Japan to disembark in Cuba and there in the music school the culture shock her and enriched her which she then turned into a frenetic and Caribbean one with a very recognizable essence compared to the original Among the different anecdotes told by Mine we came to what would be the last song of “Sonata Samurai” A long-lived theme that tells a fantasy sonata with 4 movements It is in summary the trip that had to complete the Samurai Hasekura Tsunenaga the first Japanese diplomat sent to Spain in an embassy And that’s where the pianist from Sendai enjoyed absolute freedom: just the piano and her Mine becomes with her music a spiritual chronicler of the adventures that that trip supposed playing with her doctrine in classical music and her personal Cuban and Spanish baggage A fantasy to convey the greatest epic story The most insane and irreverent comedy arrived in the second part of the show and was run by Sandwichman something like the Spanish “Los Morancos” in Japanese version the duo took the risk of performing the sketches in both languages subtitles were projected on a screen enabled in the theater so that the audience could read and understand what they were saying the comedians warned that the performances would be carried out with a greater pause since they tend to be very frenetic when it comes to their performances and they go from gag to gag quickly In the “Spanish version” Sandwichman needed the help of two collaborators who gave them posters with the dialogues to say At times the use of language did not resemble but that linguistic difficulty made it even more comical The Japanese humor is highly exaggerated in acting and with little elaboration it is close to the knock in the head or “poop but that does not stop it from being effective A mini representation of what these geniuses of Japanese humor can give who won the sympathy of the public since the beginning The explosion of color of the show took place when the group of Suzume Odori from Sendai assaulted the place from the back of the theater surrounding the spectators and arriving at the stage giving an end to the celebration; giving a closure to the evening contributing with another cultural side of our Japanese “neighbors” that’s the traditional dance A large number of dancers dressed in kimono and with fans in their hands with impossible postures and unattainable jumps where they managed to get on the stage staff of the mayor’s office to end up all together dancing on the same stage symbolizing the brotherhood that exists between Japan and the people of Coria del Río We love interviewing composers who make us feel excited about their music and discover who is responsible for that gift Japan in 1969 and started playing the piano at 3 years old How does that passion for that particular instrument arise and also for the music in general my father is the professor at the State University of Art and then I was born in an area full of artists’ houses they were all professors and my neighbor was a pianist And… at such an early age of 3 years I thought that I lived in a world full of artists and it was very normal to start with 3 years What does Spain have in particular to make you fall in love and help you “paint” your compositions something that has even made you live here My profession is basically related to intuition to inspiration; something that looks and something that feels Spain is something that you see and something that you feel Spain is something that I do not know very well why and it was incredible because I have never seen a city with so much light and with so many shadows And it was very nice because I composed many songs there in Córdoba but transcribing everything in the landscape that I like And it turns out that Spain gives me a lot of transcription possibilities You also talk about how composing is something like painting a picture for me it is like another type of painting (of course I have a score) but the music is very visual for me Many times I do not write down all the notes of what I play but I put here “the lights” and “at 7 o’clock in the morning of Cordoba on the 14th of I do not know when“ Then I remember a lot about what the light was like and the piano keys ask me where to play but you learned Spanish once you came to live here I learned German studying because I made my career in Germany but I did not learn anything; Spanish is such a special language that you only learn by speaking There is an album of you that’s very rooted in this country “O Meu Camiño” and I think it is very interesting if you could explain to us where did the idea of composing an album that pays tribute to the ‘Camino de Santiago’ came from I love the Camino de Santiago and instead of taking pictures Because sometimes with the photos you forget But the sound is the same or very similar to the taste Like when you smell some things from many years ago Suddenly you smell something and you know you can directly travel to the past and in the end it turned to become a record I must admit that I am a lover of Japanese composers and I have had the opportunity to meet some of them Toshiyuki Watanabe… all of them excellent pianists Is studying piano a common practice in Japan Japan is the country where I think there are more pianos at the moment… well What happens is that my generation is a generation of having parents survivors of the Second World War Then the parents passed on their dream to the children and they have educated us very well Almost everyone in my class had a piano; everybody started to study piano then I do not know what… Everybody learned to play the piano that generation has produced many pianists Now it is changing because not everyone can have such a hard career so there are many pianos now that are sleeping in the houses which was that then people studied from a young age and that the piano was present when it came to studying I remember that in my class when I was eight or nine years old I had forty children and thirty of them were learning to play the piano Then it has come down again… but that is why now almost everyone knows how to read scores Tell us how has been your experience when working on audiovisual projects for film and TV where your music should be at the service of images and the composition was born with a context in which to develop It has been a surprise almost without expecting it I have worked a lot for NHK national television and they invite me to work with them on nature or anime documentaries It’s been two jobs that I’ve been working on lately and they’re a bit different because I’ve never worked with computers they first edit the content and then they give it to me and I play over it watching the images I can make the sound accompany it as if it were the halo I can make the sound as if it were the movement of the air The piano has 88 keys and you can make a lot of incredible sounds From very low to very high sounds; from thunder to light And then you can accompany TV shows very well There are very few composers who can play this way directly and in an improvised way So they give you some freedom when it comes to making these compositions something like that… and we do a lot of rehearsals There are very few productions that allow it to do so Normally you first deliver the music and then they edit the music composers usually work with “temp-tracks” that are references that the director has worked with during the editing but that they finally opt for the work you propose It’s fantastic that freedom and that trust they place in you Would you like to work more specifically in the film and TV sector as the aforementioned composers I would be very interested in working for cinema Now I work a lot for anime and soap operas and I have several projects I love making good music that accompanies the images Your compositions are characterized by beautiful and delicate music And suddenly you surprise us with a hand-to-hand collaboration with Chucho Valdés except for the instrument by which you express yourself (piano) And what can you tell us about the experience I was not very happy and I was looking for my way in music; I was looking for freedom And suddenly I met Chucho more than twenty years ago When I heard his music it was my intuition that told me that that was what I was looking for He was born in Cuba as an Afro-Cuban and I was born in Japan as a Japanese so we have very different bases What we have in common is that with the piano we want absolute freedom We use the piano as a loudspeaker to express our freedom And they are two very different ways when we play together but we have something in common that is freedom That is why we have been able to play together on the same melody making very incredible variations On May of this year we are going to release a CD-DVD with the recording of the concert at the Teatro Real of 2018 It will be very nice and special this live edition How was to be responsible for composing “Sonata Samurai” within the cultural events organized for the commemoration of the “Spain-Japan Year” premiering this composition at the Teatro Real in Madrid in the presence of the Princes of Asturias and the Crown Prince of Japan (*laughs*) This was all organized by the Samurai who is 400 years old I would never be able to organize all of that (*laughs*) It was so incredible the spirit of the Samurai as he was born in Sendai and then came as the first ambassador to Spain where they arrived first at Sanlucar de Barrameda and then to Seville The trip is very interesting since the trajectory was coincidentally like what I did when I was looking for my music And 400 years ago the Samurai made his way by boat and I was interested in making that path with music and also I was very interested because the tsunami that we had 8 years ago in Japan was tremendous and ended the lives of 30,000 people in a minute And the motive of 400 years ago by which the Samurai came here was the same category of a tsunami he took the decision to negotiate with Spain and have a commercial relationship between both countries that did not succeed and many of the Samurai stayed in Coria del Rio and founded the family of Japan This musical journey consists of 4 movements You are undoubtedly a great connoisseur of the two cultures (Japan and Spain) But how does your work translate when synthesizing or maintaining a sound balance that is not so abrupt with that clash of cultures The composition was my imagination drawing the memories that the Samurai had It is the look of a single person and then all movements go through what he has seen from my imagination or something very similar and the first time I saw the Guadalquivir River I was surprised by the color of the water and then I drew the landscape that I have seen and I mix old Japanese music through the Samurai’s look Tomorrow will take place the show AMBASSADORS OF GOOD FRIENDSHIP AMONG SENDAI AND SPAIN in the town of Coria del Río Do you think it takes a special sense to do it in a town that Japanese culture is so important one cannot tell the story without including Coria del Rio which is a place where the Sendarians have been who are the most followed in Japan and it has been a miracle that they have been able to travel here without speaking a word in Spanish… and if I tell you the truth I do not know what they are going to do tomorrow (*laughs*) we are all very worried because (*laughs*)… I do not know But the funny thing is that one of the comedians is a descendant of the Shogun who sent the mission and therefore and I wanted to organize it in Coria and the city of Coria de Rio invited us to play in the hall… and in short… everything was organized by the Samurai of 400 years ago (*laughs*) Once again you associate and return to perform a joint show It’s going to be the trip that Masamune made 400 years ago (*laughs*) we have arrived without really knowing how (*laughs*) We know more or less what we are going to do and the order I want to offer the public a trip to Japan I’m going to be like a Japanese ship that I’m going to take them to Japan and I therefore believe that you do not have to understand everything they say to feel it I want you to enjoy the rhythm and the harmony that exists between the two of them I find your humor very peculiar and visual I suppose we can enjoy that essence tomorrow It’s funny how in Spain you have humor that you understand us a lot That’s why there are many Spaniards who visit us more and more Tomorrow will be seeing something like that like the journey of 400 years ago of those samurai that arrived here without speaking any Spanish We will close with a dance group from Sendai I’m looking forward to seeing the show and to make that special trip to Japan from your hand and I’m also looking forward to that moment   Pictures by MissSoez · Ilustración y
