Enjoy this colorful rumba flamenca in honor of the late Lola Flores, who would have turned one hundred this month:

She’s accompanied there by her husband, Antonio González 'El Pescaílla' and son Antonio Flores along with her daughter, Rosario.

Here’s an excerpt from the song:

From Que me coma el tigre
Eugenio García Cueto

Tú lo que quieres es que me coma el tigre
Que me coma el tigre,
Mi carne sabrosa

Entonces me monto en la loma
me subo en el árbol, me tiro en el río
El tigre se monta en la loma
se sube en el árbol, se tira en el río

What you want is for the tiger to eat me,
for the tiger to eat me,
My delicious flesh

So I go up the hill
I climb the tree, I jump in the river
The tiger goes up the hill
climbs the tree, throws himself in the river.
