Kate -> RIP Victor 'El Niño Charico' (Jan. 2 2008 7:41:04)
|
The flamenco singer Victor El Niño Charico died this morning. Some of you will have heard Victor singing on Emilio Maya's album Temple, he sang 'Caramelo' with Marina Heredía and also 'Cazuela Pa 1500'. I know several members of the forum also saw him singing live with Emilio at the Lewes Guitar Festival and Brighton as well as several members here who knew him personally. We have known Victor for 10 years, since he was 17, when we met him singing with Emilio at the Eshavira. We enjoyed working with him as much as he enjoyed singing, and he was an incredible singer, he sang every where he went as he walked through the Albaicín where he lived, and he could sing any style and palo there was. He will be sorely missed by us and everyone who knew him. His funeral will take place at 11.30 am at the Alhambra cemetary tomorrow morning. Kate
