Their lives were buried by tons of mud, mud and despair. Many have lost everything and those they loved most, and it will take time for them to regain some of the normality before the devastating DANA that devastated the Valencian Community on October 29.

A group of musicians from Priego de Córdoba, who traveled to Ground Zero to help with essential goods and with their flamenco.

Kike Jiménez, head of the expedition, told ABC that “on November 8, we organized a concert for raise funds for Valencia. With all the help we took my 4×4 and went to the disaster area.

They stopped at Algemesiin the El Raval neighborhood, “and we were very shocked by what we saw. Despite the images that reach us, when we are there we are overwhelmed by reality: everything is full of mud, the flooded garages, the piles of destroyed cars and the neighbors faces…,” Kike remembers.

The group, which only left for one day, remained three. “We went to Paiporta and there we offered our help with whatever was necessary. The truth is that in this place there is a great organizationwith help delivery points for those affected. We met a local who owned a blinds store (which, of course, had been destroyed) and he was the one who guided us,” says Jiménez.
