Diego Amador / Compañía Ángeles Gabaldón ‘Volantes de jondura’
The companies of Diego Amador and María Ángeles Gabaldón shined brightly on the second day of the Festival de Arte Flamenco de Mont-de-Marsan. The man from Seville’s downtrodden “Tres Mil” district delighted the crowd at the Café Cantante with a flamenco piano recital back-up by a quartet of great musicians. Chechu Sierra on double bass, Antonio Coronel on drums, and the art of Bobote and Torombo on compás and dance, with Diego Amador’s personal vision of flameno.Siguiriyas, bulería por soleá with some unusual musical touches, and tango rumba where Diego sings and reminds us of Camarón, on the fifteenth anniversary of the latter’s death, bulerías taranta-minera, tanguillos, a splended Argentine tango of Tomatito’s, bulería por soleá and a fascinating bulerías encore where he toyed with Duke Ellington’s “Caravan”.
María Ángeles Gabaldón presented “Volantes de Jondura” with her company. The voices of Juan Reina and Miguel Rosendo, along with the guitar of Rafael Rodríguez, made up a minimalist group for Ángeles to use her Seville-style arms for tarantos, with a large fan for guajiras, and with bata de cola for alegrías.She was also accompanied by dancer Juan de los Reyes who demonstrated his virile, racial dance in soleá. In soleá and siguiriya he shared dramatic moments with Ángeles in their pas de deux.
