On a Jesús Carmona Flamenco High | The Weekly Letra
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.
Now, here's a letra from the show:
Siguiriyas
Popular
Yo me puse en camino
antes del alba
cuando llegue a tu casa
ya clareaba
I started walking
before dawn
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 ...
