I Want to Get Drunk | Viernes con una Letra

It is Halloween, and I just returned home from the peña. I am in Jerez.

On the way I saw a family dressed up in zombie-style Halloween costumes. Their two dogs were dressed as jack-o-lanters.

At the peña

We saw Manuel Agujetas Hijo sing with Domingo Rubichi accompanying on guitar.

Below is a letra por fandangos that he sang.

(You can hear El Chocolate singing it here.)

Fandangos

No me quites la botella
que yo me quiero emborrachar 
no me quites la botella
voy a beber de verdad 
y a ver si no pienso en ella 
y yo la consigo olvidar

I Almost Didn't Go

I left almost immediately after the show ended last night.

And people said,  ¿Te vas Laura, Ya? 

"You're leaving, now?"

Sí, me voy.

Even though the show just ended. I wasn't even waiting to see if something exciting happened next.  I wasn't even staying to socialize some more. I was going home as early as 12:30 am...

Sí.

It was a peña show last night. At Peña La Bulería.

Viernes con una Letra | Tarantos

Tonight I heard Felipa la del Moreno sing accompanied by Manuel Valencia on guitar. Wow.

They were at the peña Tío José de Paula in el Barrio Santiago.  This was the second of the three flamenco shows I went to tonight.  So much going on here.  All on the same night.  And kind of all at the same time.  But somehow we still managed to get to all three...

Below is a tarantos she sang tonight.

Tarantos.

Since I was just telling you about how Manuel Liñan danced por tarantos on Wednesday.
