quote:
Democrat John Kerry likes to play fiery Spanish flamenco music on his guitar, the candidate revealed late Saturday in an interview on the Spanish language variety show “Sabado Gigante.”
“I play some Spanish music, some Latin music, some popular music. Any music, but I like flamenco,” the elegant Massachusetts senator told the emcee of the variety show, which is broadcast to an estimated 100 million viewers in 42 countries. “I can play ‘Recuerdo de la Alhambra’ and a few others,” said Kerry, who took time out in the final frenzied days of the presidential campaign to court some seven million Hispanic voters, members of the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. He hasn’t had much time for musical pursuits on the campaign trail, Kerry lamented. “I’m still learning,” he said. “I don’t have much time to practise, and my fingers aren’t moving very well,” he said. afp
