"Those were happy times, when, for a peseta, in the Bar del Manquet in Atarazanas [the heart of Barrio Chino], they served us real coffee with three lumps of sugar as we sat among a motley crowd of dockworkers applauding an impressive cuadro flamenco that we felt would someday make its mark on history. It was made up of Carmen Amaya "La Capitana", her aunt, Juana la Faraona, and exemplary model of gypsy beauty and unmatched in her zambras and farrucas, La Romerito, unique in her more stylized alegrías and sevillanas, and El Gato, with his serious masculine demeanor, accompanied on guitar by El Chino (father of La Amaya) and Manolo Bulerías. A group that, for a few glasses of manzanilla wine, would treat us to some extra performances outside of the regular program and thank us for our faithful attendance." http://www.flamenco-world.com/artists/amaya/amaya4.htm
