THE MUSIC OF MIRRORS

 

With every song she sings, Argentina builds a closer bond with her audience. The beautiful tone of her deep voice is pure earthly power. She has the classic air of flamenco singers of old, yet delves wholeheartedly into the joy and merriment of more festive palos (flamenco styles).

A man who looks not unlike El Quixote, who enjoys watching Granada eat its meals through the glass windows at "Juanillo" in the Sacromonte district, who is quite capable of literally dying of laughter, going to bed at ungodly hours (because night-owls live longer), of encountering poems in a library, a slum, a whorehouse, or any other den of iniquity in any city... this can be none other than Benjamín Prado.

The cantaora (flamenco singer) writes many her own song lyrics. The poet also writes lyrics. And both of them express feelings like nobody else. It's a good combination for this summer that has only just begun. In this event, La música de los espejos (The Music of Mirrors) combines the Huelva-born singer's flamenco with the Madrid-native's poetry.
