Ready to be blown away?
Check out the following video of little Manuel Monje singing por bulerías.
Be sure to watch to the end to see his moves!
But first, here’s one of the letras he sings:
Bulerías
Si te llamas Dolores,
échate al río
y coge camarones con el vestio
If you’re name is Dolores,
get in the river
and catch prawns with your dress
Listen to Manuel Monje sing this one about 45 seconds into the video below:
You can listen to La Paquera sing it here.
I believe this is a traditional verse, but if you know otherwise, please let me know in the comments below.
You may recognize Manuel after having seen him wow Spain on Tierra de Talento at just nine years of age.
