Ten days later there was a Finnish woman and a Dominican man walking the same streets of New York.
This Finnish woman had only a few weeks earlier held a presentation in Spanish about this same man at McGill University. The presentation being level 1 Spanish with level 10 enthusiasm for the man. So who is this man and what was he doing in Nueva York?
He is the man who snaps his fingers on stage and makes you feel he is sharing the very profound wisdoms of life, while sitting on his bar stool looking tremendously majestic. He walks and sings under the name Diego El Cigala and is both called the "Prince of Flamenco" and "Sinatra of Flamenco" and is claimed to be the greatest Flamenco singer alive. I believe every word that is said about him and the very little I understand about what he is saying and singing. When I for the first time heard him sing "En esta tarde gris", I wanted to start every sentence in Spanish with it, that is why I was ever so happy when I figured out to start a sentence during my presentation with it. He sold out at Carnegie Hall in New York city. Impressive indeed.
We, the Finn and the Dominican where however far more impressed by Diego El Cigala and his raspy but velvet like voice on the 6th of May. We got to be not only in the same city and that being Montreal but as well under the same roof at a concert hall at Place de Arts and enjoy his wonderful show.
My Dominican was ever so sweet to get tickets to see this wonderful show but as well very sweet to get us red roses to make us fit this tango and flamenco flavored event.
A wonderful night that will remain in our memories forever. His music came alive in our hearts this fine evening and his flamenco fire will keep on burning way longer than the roses and his picture will stay up on our wall.
