Watch this young talent, Ángeles Toledano, sing por alegrías.
She will amaze you.
But first, here is one of the letras you’ll hear:
Yo le di un duro al barquero
por pasar el Ebro a verte
los amores de Navarra
son caros pero muy buenos.
I gave a coin to the boat man
to cross the Ebro River to see you
Lovers from Navarra
are expensive but so good.
Hear her sing this one at 3:20:
I’m sure that verse reminded you of Estrella Morente.
Listen to Manuel Torre sing it here.
Ángeles sings this one at 3:00
