Anyone see Pitingo in London? 
Did anyone go and see Pitingo in London on Saturday? I would be really interested to know how he went down as he was superb in Madrid a few weeks back. Karenanne

My friends saw him recently at a Peña outside of Granada and have been raving about him ever since.

RE: Anyone see Pitingo in London? (in reply to buleria) 
I saw just three performances at the festival this year - Estrella Morente, Gerardo Nunez Quintet and Pitingo.
I liked Pitingo the best. Nunez was incredible, but he is always incredible. He is so consistently good he is almost boring.
I do not share Pitingo's enthusiasm for Soul, Funk, Gospel and all the rest of it, but I was quite fascinated to hear how he kept managing to throw it in. It was well polished, but in such a small venue it still felt spontaneous. I was sure I was watching a rising star - charismatic, great voice, good taste, rhythmically strong, and unlike Estrella Morente it seems that he can actually dance.

As for how he went down, pretty well I thought. The crowd were baying for a second encore, but didn't get one. There was a middle aged American lady and two daughters within earshot, looked like they'd won the tickets in a raffle. As the lights came up they all sat looking at each other, not wanting to speak first. Eventually Daughter No 1 said "Well I liked it." No 2 said "Oh my God, I loved it!" Mother said "Oh wow! I thought it would be just me."
The Spanish voices I heard on the way out - and there were many - were all saying good things too.

Many Thanks for the response - I am really glad he went down so well. Sounds very similar to the Madrid show. (Although we did get a second encore) Was it Juan Carmona playing guitar for him? Glad you enjoyed it. Karenanne

Yes. Pitingo con Habichuela sin Habichuela pero con Juan Carmona.
Very nice playing, and there was also a young lady whose name I didn't catch providing the harmonies.
