FLAMENCO AT BAMBOO UPDATE

Well a good night was had by all on Thursday night. I managed to have a good catch up with a couple who have been reading my blog and after exchanging a few emails, it turns out they own a property 20 steps from my house! Good music, singing, atmosfere and company and a glass of vino :) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY FOR NEXT WEEK!

I went down to see the Flamenco singers which will be performing in the Festival Internacional de Cante Flamenco in Roldan next week.
It was a full house with I would say 70% Spanish people there.

They had set up lots of rustic chairs for everyone to sit and watch.



The guy clapping was the singer and yes could he sing, with a huge grin even though it did sound like he was in pain (but very good), then there was the guitarist who was superb and the drummer used the box he was sitting on!

The girl got up and danced with passion.

The little kids were enthralled by her.

Quick costume change AKA Michael Jackson styley

And a standing Ovation at the end :)
They also had a promotion on where if you ordered one of the HAVANA 7 cocktails you got a free massage!

Well done Polaris for a great night !
