It's the second week of LOVE letras!
Here's the chorus to Vicente Amigo's Enamorao followed by a video of Alba Heredia when she was little.

I've got a whole song for you today along with a video of Niña Pastori and Falete singing it.
It’s Válgame Dios by Chaboli and Niña Pastori.
Y es la verdad
Querer así es un pecao…
The other day a friend of mine shared with me the video you see below of Niña Pastori and her husband Chaboli. She is singing a letra written by her father in law, El Jeros, and it is SO beautiful. So, I share it with you today. Enjoy!
From 'Somos Dos’

Last week we were remembering Paco de Lucía.
Today let's remember Camarón with this video and this song

I love the smell it leaves on my fingers.
Se Me Escapan Las Palabras
Concha Buika
Se me escapan las palabras,

cada vez que grito que no puedo más…
The estribillo to Agua Fresca by Luis de Córdoba. Lamiae sang it last Tuesday...
Si quieres agua fresca, Niña
ven a mi pozo, Niña, ven a mi pozo…
Es oficial. Spring has sprung! And so today an estribillo from the song Primavera from José Mercé's Del Amanacer. One of the very first flamenco albums I ever purchased... the very very first one was Manolo Sanlúcar's Tauromagia...
