XV Festival de Cante de Las Minas. La Union.
Tirititrans
El Cabrero
Despite the bitter primitiveness that Quiñones attributes to Agujetas,
without knowing how to write, he began his "cantes" in cursive letters, added
moments to be underlined, and finished with bold letters.
As strange as it may seem, us "cabreros" are very sensitive, said Jose before
speaking about poetry.
Just before that he had added to one of the songs "por bulerias" some verses
by Borges, "La lluvia sucede en el pasado" (Rain takes place in the past)
The flamenco "cante" (singing) was modern poetry based on the ancient musical
performances (Steingress)
