That was Jose Ignacio Franco (not to be confused with Francisco). It was nice to see that Paco selected a couple of up-and-coming Jerez guitarists to accompany him. I'm sure both of those guys were thrilled. What really surprised me was Manuel Orta performing. He's one of my wife's favorite singers. (I'm talking about my wife who doesn't like cante jondo flamenco). Orta is a modern Sevillanas singer who's very popular with the ladies. His songs tend to be about respect for one's parents, mom, apple pie, wife abuse, and that type of thing. I've seen him live before. He's a very entertaining and dynamic performer who knows how to work an audience, but not what I would call Flamenco. But, as you could see, the crowd loved him.
Did anybody see El Carbonero accompanying a singer por Solea in one of the peñas after Paco Cepero's show ended? This festival has offered a wide variety of Flamenco, from the very traditional to the avant guarde and even Sevillanas. I hope that most of you have had a opportunity to see at least part of it. Remember, tomorrow Moraito plays at 2130 Spanish time.
