I thought you’d enjoy this peek at inside the Feria del Caballo in Jerez.
It’s Angelita Gómez and Ana María López dancing bulerías at the Peña Los Cernícalos caseta as Manuel de la Fragua sings.

On August 28, 2022, flamenco guitarist and composer extraordinaire, Manolo Sanlúcar, passed away.
Below are the words to Banderillas, from his masterpiece, Tauromagia, ( the very first flamenco album I ever purchased)!
In honor of mothers everywhere…
If you’ve lost your mother, I send you the biggest hug,
If your mother is still with us, may you cherish every moment with her.
In the mood for love?
Here’s a verse you can send to someone you love to make their day…
Fandangos de Huelva
Te voy a mandar un clavel
de un color muy rojo…
Fandangos
Que yo la besara en las manos
En la boquita no quería
Y llorando me decía
This is another letra por fandangos that Zorri shared with me.
Son de callar y sufrir
las penas y los sufrimientos…

Loco sería mi felicidad
que yo me volviera loco
De qué me ha servido estudiar
si ahora veo la hipocresia

One more Canastera for you to watch, María Terremoto. I can't stop listening to it, especially this coletilla she frames everything with (From Paco de Lucia's Almonte ... I love this chorus so much that I've included two other video versions following hers for you to check out.)
En la marisma con la candela…
Cantan por Huelva y a la Pastora los almonteños
y el corazón se me estremeció en el alma
cogí la manta la eche en el suelo

Below watch (and be blown away by) Emilio Ochando's award-winning piece Tinevo, which took first place in the XXVº Certamen de Coreografía de Danza Española y Flamenco, where he and three other dancers do their thing with castanets and bata de cola. They dance to this original fandangos by Los Makarines:
Fandangos
Los Makarines
Cantan las hojas,
bailan las peras en el peral,
bailan las rosas,
rosas del viento no del rosal,
y nubes y nubes flotaban,
dormían al ras del aire,
todo el espacio giran con ella,
la fuerza del AIRE.

Five days in, and the Flamenco Tour is well underway. I'll tell you a bit about that (and share photos) in a moment, but first, a fandangos letra for you...
There have been all kinds of shows going on here in Jerez. Below is a letra that we heard Alberto Sánchez, 'El Almendro' sing yesterday at the Peña La Bulería with José Manuel Alconchel accompanying him on guitar. They came straight from playing at Tabanco el Pasaje and were well warmed up. It was an intimate afternoon show in the front salon of the peña. We arrived early and got seats and drinks. It was a small but enthusiastic crowd, and everyone was there to enjoy and listen, except for one guy who kept talking who the guitarist stopped to lecture mid-show.
And now for that letra,
