This nine year old boy will blow you away.
You can watch and listen to him sing (and dance) on Tierra de Talento, but first here’s one of the letras he sings.
Tientos
Traditional
El que diga que no siente
dolor en el corazón
es que corazón no tiene
pa poder sentir el dolor
He who says he doesn’t feel
pain in his heart
has no heart
to feel the pain
This is the first letra Manuel Monje sings in the video below.
Be sure to watch until the end to see his moves.
Did you love that, or what?
I especially loved seeing the giant smiles and excitement from the judges, namely Antonio Canales and José Mercé, as they watched him perform.
And by the way, you are not alone when you wonder how can a nine year old boy sing so passionately about such profound topics.
¡Así es el flamenco!
