Tomatito singing in Granada!

This was pretty crazy - Anthony (at_leo_87) and I were at this flamenco bar here in Granada when we went out in the intermission and saw flowing dark curly hair ordering a drink at the bar, looking all-too-familiar... at which point we realized Tomatito was literally right in front of us. We were too scared to go up and say hi, but when we went back down for the second half, they actually brought him on stage to do palmas and he sang. It was freakin' unbelievable. Picture attached because it was so ridiculous. For a guitarist the guy actually had a surprisingly good voice, I think he sang a tangos and a bulería (or maybe an alegría) but I don't really remember because I was too bowled over by the ridiculousness of it all.

Luis de Córdoba, one of the guitarists at the school here (Carmen de las Cuevas). He plays at this bar all the time.

Also, I'm not sure why the picture is upside-down given that the one I uploaded isn't... just download it and rotate, I guess.
