The theater is something else. The flamenco one lives in the peñaIt's like nowhere else. Because you get the warmth of the breath of the cante, the shine of the guitar or the hum of the heel. If you try hard, you can hear the beats of the flamencoI hear the roar of the duende that pushes from the centers to the chest and explodes in the hubbub of the beat or the blackness of a moan of pain. The sweat splashes in the turns of the dance, you see the apple of their eyes, the gesture... they make their truth transparent. And that's how Fernando Jiménez He spilled his guts and mine on the sunlit boards of the Peña Flamenca The Buleria from Jerez like a dark-skinned gypsy dance claw. He is one of those who are few and one of those who venerate the racial features of the old –and not so old–, hence he had the courtesy to invite the aunt Carmen Ledesma, "source of inspiration", so that they would roll around the respectable audience in romances. But that came later. The III Nights of the Jerez Festival of this peña with the show A palo dry.
They came out onto the stage Fernando del Morao to the guitar and Miguel Lavi y John of the Maria al cante to endorse the little pinches that Fernando gave, levitating to the beat of the privileged throats of the two singers and a sonanta full of sound. Touch, cante and dance purely from Jerez. From Jerez to the heaven of Carmen's feet who winked at Seville. And I got drunk on flamenco like the dancer's heels.
«And in a pas de deux that was already the end, fusing the black tints of the gypsy dance of Seville and Jerez in a dialogue of titans of the jondo "who squandered the dowry of those who are blessed with the blessing of Undibé"

He opened with tarantos and some rogue tangos that simulated the deep soniquetazo of a bass. flamenco to break the hips of the dance. Ole! Fernando Jiménez dressed in solemnity and He appeared tough and stale, tied to the sooty pillars of the tradition of his bloodHe walked with elegance and powerfully cut the tempo by kicking his feet, his gaze and his nails, giving bites. He blurred his figure in the tangos, which dismantled the hieraticism of sobriety to captivate the fans as if it were a ritual. He stuck out a flattering shoulder, unbuttoning his jacket. He bullfought. And her swaying was not at odds with the macho dancing. She excited the audience, who spent the oles they had saved.
Juan and Miguel tore through the air by twisting the wicker of their cante anticipating the crying for seguiriya. Fernando went out to meet them and stood in the middle at the call of the ducas to grieve and suffer the pain that suffocates. He threw the higaíllas from the exit to the male of The One-Eyed Man PeñaThere is a thin line like a razor's edge between the affected theatricality of exaggeration or the absolute and passionate surrender of someone who does not understand this without giving everything. Fernando drew it by falling next to the heart, stabbing with the walks, the tapping and the silences, which weighed a hundredweights of gypsy depth.
Then to the singsong of the Romance of the Moor or the Count Olinos He gave Carmen the step and the place to destroy my left foot into shreds of madness. He danced to the cante and immediately, commanding the stage. He pointed to Morao and spent a good while on his strings for the bag of his memories What a way Auntie has of letting loose! So much wit and wisdom! The audience burst into applause. And in a pas de deux that was the end, fusing the black hues of the gypsy dance of Seville and Jerez in a dialogue of titans of the jondo who squandered the dowry of those who are blessed with Undibé's blessing.
