Yesterday I was lucky to find a copy of the magazine Mercurio, here's the digital version, which dealt with the subject "Poetry of flamenco" starting with an interview with Enrique Morente and following several articles that tell the obligatory presence of poetry in flamenco, great articles to plunge into these two arts.
Reading "From time to check flamenco hand to poetry, which begins the chronology of the book" Cante flamenco "of Demófilo , father of the Machado brothers (who established the study of flamenco, flamencology) I was pleasantly surprised to find that Gabriela Ortega, dancer and singer recorded the elegy "Lament for Ignacio Sánchez Mejías" -cry to his uncle, written by Lorca, which for me is the most amazing elegy / visceral / beautiful I've ever read. The
Next was searching the Internet, strangely no trouble finding me recording in EP. Superb work by Federico García Lorca recited magnificently by a great singer.
Gabriela Ortega was born in Seville in 1915 in a family fraught with brothers and uncles art bullfighters, flamenco singers cousins \u200b\u200b(Manolo Caracol) and all closely related to Federico García Lorca. Was ordered into exile thus expanded the Flemish South America, returned to Spain and died in 1995.
In the same article, on the issue of exile, told Matilde Coral censors attending their performances, I asked who were the lyrics of their songs to which I replied I did not know, that everyone sang, not to say that poets were censored during the regime.
PS: The video is not the action of the elegy to Ignación Sánchez Mejías.
