Rafael Jimenez Falo-Cantaor gitano asturiano

Post by Natalia Irene »

Hola a todos,
Quiero añadir al que posiblemente es el unico cantaor de flamenco asturiano que ha llegado lejos en el mundillo del flamenco (que es bien dificil si no eres andaluz), su nombre es Falo y era el guitarrista y cantaor del primer grupo de flamenco en el que yo estuve. Adjunto un link de youtube en el que canta folclore asturiano por bulerias de la tia Chata, lo cual es totalmente desconocido y desafortunadmamente no hay casi nada grabado ya que es una de las tipicas cosas que se cantan en las familias gitanas asturianas y el debe ser el unico que lo ha sacado fuera de Asturias; y para mi toda una innovacion, me parece super interesante como asturiana que soy y bailaora de flamenco. Espero que lo disfruteis.
Hi everybody,
I want to add here the only cantaor of flamenco from asturias that have been able to make it in the flamenco world in Spain (thing that is very difficult if you are not andaluz), his name is Falo and he was the guitarrist and singer in the first flamenco group I used to perform with. Here is a link where he sings asturian music in bulerias flamencas. Unfortunately there is almost nothing recorded of this music since he is the only one who sings this and it is a tipycal thing in asturians gypsy families and nobody else knows about it. I find it really interesting since I am from Asturias and I also dance flamenco. I hope you enjoy it!

Hi Art,
Thank you for adding more videos. Regarding your question, I don't think he sings tona asturiana, I am sure he knows it but doesn't sing it at least professionally.
Hola Art,
Gracias por poner mas videos en youtube. Respecto a tu pregunta, no creo que cante tona asturiana. Estoy segura de que la conoce pero no la canta profesionalmente. Chao!
Natalia.
