Enjoyable Tomatito Video

Now this looks like it was a fun day; hanging & playing with Tomatito;

Now, my Spanish is very bad, can anyone tell me what they`re saying at the end?
And do I understand correctly that this is a guitar/music school where he was invited to?....would be so awesome to be part of that! :)

RE: Enjoyable Tomatito Video (in reply to Leendert)

I'm not 100% sure about the very last thing that El Entri says (it's in parentheses).

quote:

And do I understand correctly that this is a guitar/music school where he was invited to?....

Yes. Apparently, Tomatito's son was there, and I think Entri said that they were going to film him.

Notice how Tomatito says "gypsy and non-gypsy." Seems like a very intelligent man with an open mind and a good heart. I've only seen him once in concert with Camarón and years later on the street near Conde Hermanos, and I got the impression that he's a gentle soul. Another thing worth noting is Entri's use of the word "puro." In a recent post, Ricardo gave us a good definition of the word.

Tomatito: ...a mí me parece estupendo, una academia aquí para que enseñe a todos los niños gitanos y no gitanos de toda España porque es uno de los mejores profesores que hay. Yo he visto a muchos niños tocando, van por Almería y por todos lados, y técnicamente los pone maravillosos, vuelan.

Entri: La verdad es que es un honor. Hombre, a mí porque Tomatito es una figura internacional, es puro, es un tocaor puro, y todo lo que hace es flamenco puro: hablando, andando y tocando es flamenco. Y ha venido aquí y hemos gozado, hemos gozado, porque primero yo y por supuesto los demás.

Tomatito: Y mi niño también está aquí.

Entri: José, yo en fin encantado por el niño, y ya está, luego vamos a verlo un ratito allí y le vamos a (¿rodar?).

Tomatito: ...I think it's great: An academy here to teach all the gypsy and non-gypsy kids from all over Spain, because he's one of the best teachers around. I've seen many kids play the guitar, they go to Almería and everywhere, and he gives them excellent technique. They fly!

Entri: It really is an honor. An honor for me because Tomatito is an international figure. He's pure. He's a pure guitarist, and everything he does is pure: Talking, walking and playing, he's flamenco. He's come here to see us and we've enjoyed his visit. We've enjoyed his visit: especially me and of course everyone else.

Tomatito: My son is here, too.

Entri: José, I just want to say that I'm happy about your son. We're going to see him now and we're going to (film?) him.

I dont know if that was so relaxing for Tomatito. In another video from that day he huged 1billion people for photos and he signed 3thousand guitars... Then he had to sit down there and listen to them.
I think it was busines for Tomatito. Hes just professioal. I dont think that its was so much fun.

I like how tomatito is all nice and humble and these guys are showing off a little and he gives em all space, then at 7:11 his little falseta just owns em all.

could it be that those tomatito falsetas are not in his albums? they sounded new to me at least. yeah he completely owned the scenery. on the first falsteta i had the impression he finishes so early that it surprised everybody!
