Earlier this week Juanilloro, a young flamenco singer from La Plazuela in Jerez, passed away. He died of a heart attack at only 38 years old. I know you're going to love this video of him from 2010 singing and dancing bulerías:
He sings this letra about 2 minutes 15 seconds into the video:
Bulerías
Soñe y soñao
pa que quiero yo soñar
si mi sueño es imposible
soñe y soñao
con una piel canela irresistible
soñe y soñao
yo no quiero mas sueño
sueño imposible
I dreamed
why do I want to dream
if my dream is impossible
I dreamed
of irresistible cinnamon skin
I dreamed
I want no more dreams
impossible dreams
You can hear El Torta sing it here.
You also hear this letra about 3 minutes in.
And here's another video of him singing for Saray García that I took just a few month ago on the last Flamenco Tour to Jerez. (You can see a couple of pictures from that performance below.)
May he rest in peace.
