Moraito Chico. Don’t know much about him but I gather he’s from Jerez. What a place… I was there last year and ended up in one of those very basic penas, when you’re not sure if it’s a tourist thing or more real. Then they start and they do something to you. So you don’t care with a tourist thing or not. Good for them. The group weren’t on for long but it had a anarchic energy. Very simple, very earthy, lots of fun. A few days later I got home and put on a CD I’d bought a few months earlier at the flamenco shop in Sevilla, a CD I’d fallen in love with. Flicking through the cover I realised it was same dudes I’d seen in Jerez. Check out the CD, a compilation called ‘Nueva frontera del cante de Jerez’. If you can’t find it anywhere, go to Sevilla and find the shop in the you-always-get-lost-in-them back streets. it will be well worth the effort. Even if you get lost.
