Andy, El Torta is Juan Moneo. The Moneo clan is a well known Flamenco family from Jerez. If you have the film Flamenco by Carlos Saura, El Torta's brother Manuel is the one that sings Martinetes "mano a mano" with Agujetas. There are also some young guitarists from this family: Juan Manuel Moneo and Juan Moneo. (Too many Juan's in that family ) It just so happens that several members of the Moneo family are spending the summer where I live, Rota. I met Manuel and his nephew, the guitarist Juan Manuel last week. I've met the guitarist Juan Moneo several times, as he still takes an occasional lesson with El Carbonero. Estela gets to meet these people all the time, but I still get excited when I meet an artist that I admire. I don't want you to think that I'm bragging or name dropping. It's more like someone saying, "Hey, I saw Harrison Ford walking down the street yesterday and I spoke to him!" I just want to share my excitement with someone. My wife has no interest in Flamenco and when I told her that that's Manuel Moneo sitting at the next table she just looked at me and said, "Who's he?" Phil
