I already announced that this meeting had several attractions. Firstly, because it was about contributing to the great solidarity work who preside over the day-to-day running of the Spanish Association Against Cancer and the Diocesan Caritas of Jerez. The funds and food collected for these institutions are never enough, unfortunately.

On the other hand, there was a twinning between two latitudes as different as Denmark and Andalusia thanks to the Kriatura project. It is clear that the same language, flamenco, unites people from all over the world by creating amazing bridges. And finally, because we attended the performance a very young group, Tembleke, who claims the The most traditional Christmas Eve songs of the land. Just when the zambomba in Jerez, overcrowded and subject to the 'anything goes', has taken on a momentum full of uncertainties. The aforementioned group had as a dressing an outstanding support of already established artists, such as Elu de Jerez, Macarena de Jerez, Pedro de la Fragua, Alfonso Mijita or El Tolo, to cante, and Juan Diego Mateos on guitar, who provided the counterpoint flamenco which has always been a folkloric and popular celebration.
The companion Paco Sanchez Mugica He highlighted in a report that the night experienced last December 5th at the Sala Paúl was the triumph of a generation of teenagers. 'A brand new Frontier of the Cante from Jerez, which now, luckily, has many female faces'. Here are his words published in The Voice of the South and signed by Paco Sánchez Múgica with an excellent collection of photography of Juan Carlos Toro:
