Here’s another one David Lagos shared with us during his last workshop.

Será o no será
pa mi unos tormentos dobles
verte y no poderte hablar

Here is another letra José Mijita sang to Carmen Herrera during that house concert:
Soleá por Bulerías
Al de la Puerta Real
me aliviara estas duquelas…
Soleá
Te quise sin darme cuenta
y ahora que olvidarte quiero
como bien te camelo…
Soleá de Alcalá
¿A quién le contaré yo
las fatiguitas que estoy pasando?
se los voy a contar a la tierra…

Have you heard Manuel De Falla’s Siete Canciones Populares Españoles?

Watch Javier Barón dance to it and Matilde Coral dance bulerías at the end.
In need of a little chuckle?
Then read on for today’s letra.
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I do…
I first heard this letra when Diana sang it for tangos, and it made me think of my best friend Felicia who absolutely loves radishes. In the video below you can watch and listen to La Paquera sing it as soleá por bulerías:
I have a treat for you today.

When we were in Jerez we spent a lot of time at Tabanco El Pasaje watching flamenco. You can see shows there just about every afternoon and night. Below you can see a video of Juan Loreto dancing soleá por bulerías.

Qué pena tengo en el alma
se murió la madre mía
cuando se anunciaba el alba
What sorrow I feel in my soul
my mother died
when dawn came
Last week we were blown away by Jesús Carmona here in Portland. He gave workshops and put on a last-minute show, Ensayo de Una Vida, which he created and debuted right here in town! I'll tell you more about that later. For now, here's a letra and a video of Jesús dancing at Corral de la Moreria. (Below the video you can see some pictures from our workshops last week.)

Dios va a mandarte a ti un castigo muy grande
Y eso es porque tú te lo mereces

Y yo culpa no tengo
Que de ti habla la gente
