Allstars

Felipe Sauvageon, Mario Régis, "Chouchou" Regis, Tambo Reyes
the two musicians right are Manero and Mehdi, a picture from last century (1995)
year of the foundation of this opern group

I'm still dreaming, I re-listen and re-listen........
It was fabulous, from the first beginning 'til the very last end with 2(!) "encores" Bamboleo - My Way.

Line-up was Felipe, Chouchou, Mario et Tambo ( The picture above is an old one from last century {1995} )
Everybody played his highlights, Aven Aven, Hommage a José Reyes ( Cantut's ), Hommage a Manitas ( Compas Moro ), some very fine songs from Mario and Chouchou, fandango etc etc.
Tambo is a phantastic singer, seeing him and listen to him, that's without doubt son of Patchaï, who also has a great voice, Tambo sings more than José, his grand-father, or Canut, he has a lot of "presence" and volume - Great. The guitars of Mario et Chouchou, no question about, or ??  ;-)))
And Felipe moderatet, introduced, many of us know his voice and guitarplay from Saintes, very fine too, but he decided to stay musicaly a bit in background. He said at the beginning, to speek about this evening, it's a speach about kitchens (!!). A great kitchen, with a great table in the center, a cooking mother, and a lot of musicians around the table, as they often had done, playing while cooking and after eating. And than they played :-))))
Over all, it was the evening of Mario Régis, he was the lead this evening, all had their part, but he was dominating all.
It was my turn after concert to look for a restaurant where the kitchen was still hot and opened after 11:00 PM, where the musicians and a lot of crowd ( we all know each other, or from Camargue, or from the Manitas concerts ) could get someting to eat. At 1:00 AM next morning a fine fiesta finished.
