This will knock your socks off.
It’s a video of José Mijita singing bulerías in Jerez.
At the end Carmen Herrera get up and joins him, dancing barefoot in her cute hot pink pants.
Here’s one of the letras you’ll hear José sing:
Bulerías
Traditional
Dios mío, ¿qué es esto?
Porque ni frío, ni calentura,
de pena me estoy muriendo.
My God, what is this?
It’s neither cold nor fever,
I’m dying of sorrow.
You can hear José Mijita sing this one about 4:15 in the video below.
I recommend watching the whole thing.
You definitely won’t want to miss Jose’s dance move about eleven minutes in and when Carmen Herrera dances about thirteen minutes in.
Are you left wondering how Carmen did that?
How did she dance so seamlessly without having rehearsed beforehand? How were they so in synch? What was the rhyme and reason behind their interaction?
Join me from wherever you are in the world for a virtual workshop with José and Carmen Herrera to unlock the mysteries of Bulerías de Jerez. We’ll learn about cante por bulerías and how to respond with palmas and baile. You won’t want to miss it!
