Watch and listen to Montse Cortés por alegrías in today’s video.
Here’s one of the letras she sings…
Alegrías de Córdoba
Me voy pa’ los callejones
a ver si me echan las cartas…
You will LOVE today’s clip of Luis Ortega singing alegrías de Córdoba on Tierra de Talento at just thirteen years of age!
And once again, seeing and hearing the judges reactions is almost as satisfying as watching and listening to this little guy sing.
Feel like dancing bulerías?
You can do so with the video below.
But first, here’s one of the letras you’ll hear:
Ready to watch the most elegant sevillanas you may ever see?
From Sevillanas de Triana
Cuando paso por el puente, Triana, contigo, vida mía
Cuando paso por el puente, Triana
Contigo vida mía, Triana, contigo vida mía
Con mirarte solamente, Triana, me muero de alegría
Ready to groove to bulerías?
You won’t be able to hold back from playing palmas along with this video of El Londro at the Centro Cultural Flamenco Don Antonio Chacón in Jerez…
Need a smile?
Read today’s letra…
Mirabrás
Tienes los dientes
como granitos
de arroz con leche
