Here is an alegrías letra to compliment all of this month’s bulerías de Cádiz. You can watch Mercedes Ruíz dance to it in the video below.
Alegrías
González Estrada*
Cuando se entra por Caí
por la bahía
se entra en el paraiso
de la alegría
When you arrive in Cádiz
by the bay
you enter into the paradise
of joy
See Mercedes dance to it as David Palomar sings at 1:45 in the video below.
* I saw this letra attributed to González Estrada here. I think it refers to this poet, José González Estrada, though I am not sure.

This AMAZING woman is coming to Portland in July! Don’t miss her workshops and performance with Santiago Lara. The details are here.
I took the photo above of Cádiz during our free day on the Flamenco Tour to Jerez.
