Surname amador It's a guarantee of quality. It's stylish. It marks a sooty line of brown colors in the crowd. It stands out, it looks good, and it weighs a lot. But Luis carries it without breaking a sweat and throws his cante of seniority to prove the pride of his lineage. louis amador He is a magnate of gypsy music. He not only sings what he knows, but he knows what he sings. He has a long repertoire and resources. An hour and a half of recital that he put into the Peña Flamenca The Bambera (Seville), for the enjoyment of serious fans who enjoy the palate of cante rancid.
It doesn't upset you because age is unforgiving. But I don't care. I don't want impertinent spokesmen seeking applause with ostentation. More valuable to me are the carats of depth, the ability to pick the right notes, the right pinches, and the inimitable taste of what's naturally imbibed, what's in the blood, with humility, without snobbery or posturing.
"It is always a pleasure to listen to Luis Amador, to whom I will return a thousand times to enjoy the cante "Really. Until he and the Gypsy Undibé want their throats of wisdom to continue boiling."
His son accompanied him with admiration and dedication. louis amador to the sonanta, with flamenco and precision, although accelerated, subtracting in some palos the packaging that gives rest. But good.
He opened the pattern for Levante with the Cartagena Chaconian, a basted with the Minera Taranta and that of The Gabriela, with ample vocal skills, mellow turns and poise. Candles crackled in the soleá apolá, remembering Mairena, Charamusco and curling the soleá petenera. Then he softly sang seguiriya, finishing with the light toná of Diego the Lebrijan without artifice or brilliance. He rocked the malagueñas of The Twin y the trinity, crowning them with abandolaos. And he returned to the soleá, strolling through the Triana de La Andonda, thundering in Cadiz by El Mellizo or Paquirri. A bell rang in the light, mountainous and macho of María Borrico, which he resolved with relief. Then he sang as tientos tangos deserve, with hints of Gaspar de Utrera o The LebrijanoAnd he closed the hearty recital with fandangos, almost all of them snail-like but brought to his own territory, as he saw fit.
It is always a pleasure to listen to Luis, to whom I will return a thousand times to enjoy the cante Really. Until he and the Gypsy Undibé want to keep their throats of wisdom boiling.
