Jerez exports
flamenco zambomba. Moraíto,
Diego Carrasco, Fernando
Terremoto, Fernando de la Morena, El Mono, Diego del Morao,
Bo... were just a few of the handful of Jerez-born artists who
gathered at Madrid's very Plaza Mayor (Main Square) on the cold
night of December 15th, 2005 to make known their way of understanding
flamenco at Christmas. They sang, danced and played Christmas
carols through bulerías, to the sound of the zambomba
and the choruses of the Fernando Terremoto Peña, just
like last Saturday at the Teatro Villamarta in Jerez. By means
of good art and even better cheer, they got round not only the
low temperatures, but also the precarious facilities prepared
by the sponsor of the act, within the framework of the twinning
between the quarters of Santiago and San Miguel in Jerez with
those of Chamberí and downtown Madrid. May it be repeated
at Christmases to come, but in good conditions.
