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.
