"Comincia il pianto della chitarra!", Prefazione al libro "Santì d’Andalöséa. Omaggio a Federico Garcia Lorca" di Maurizio Noris

PREAMBOLO Alcuni mesi fa il poeta e scrittore lombardo Maurizio Noris mi ha gioiosamente coinvolto nel lavoro della pubblicazione del suo libro contenente una scelta di opere poetiche di Federico García Lorca tradotte da Noris nel suo dialetto bergamasco della media Valle Seriana, per la stesura di un commento critico sull’opera (intitolato “Comincia il pianto della chitarra!”). Il libro, dal…

Louis Kronberg - Cante Jondo (1932)

[doomandgloomfromthetomb]

Sonic Youth - Greenspace, Valencia, Spain, October 28, 2005

One more trip to the Dude Ranch! This entry in the #SonicSummer extravaganza comes toward the tail-end of "The Jim Years." Soon, O'Rourke would bid adieu to Sonic Youth, eventually leaving the USA entirely for the Steamrooms of Japan. It was nice while it lasted — and this slightly overdriven Spanish broadcast shows that Jim left the band on a musical high note.

It's a slightly truncated festival set — but SY makes the most of their onstage time, adding a little extra energy and rambunctiousness to the proceedings. The Sonic Nurse material is still sounding rad, with a tightly wound "Stones" and an extremely explosive "Pattern Recognition" leading the way. Elsewhere, an off-the-rails "Mote” blends beautifully into a kraut-tastic "New Hampshire."

The evening in Valencia concludes with a truly unique happening — a fiery free-form jam with legendary Flamenco vocalist Enrique Morente. Cante jondo! Morente's incantatory stylings might seem like an odd fit for Sonic Youth's shards of noize, but by the end of this 13-minute trip, you might wish they had made an entire album together.

federico garcia lorca - cante jondo şiiri

[jartitameteneis]

Federico García Lorca no fue el único poeta que tuvo una relación emocional e intelectual con el flamenco. El poeta alicantino Miguel Hernández también fue un amante del cante jondo.

Que yo no sé qué me pasa:

si te quiero o no te quiero,

si tu casa no es tu casa,

si hiela un querer o abrasa,

si me matas o me muero.

Las olas del mar salino,

las penas de mis pesares,

una se fue y otra vino.

Que en la taberna murió

nadie diga a su vecino

que en la taberna murió,

un querer que enterré yo

dentro de un vaso de vino.

Pena que pena serena,

pena, penilla la mía

de retama y hierbabuena,

que en cuanto te veo, morena,

que en cuanto te veo, morena,

mi pena se hace alegría.

Como luceros y arena,

te doy un beso si dices

el número de mis penas.

Soledad, ¡qué sólo estoy!

conmigo y en tu compaña

ayer, mañana y hoy,

de ti vengo y a ti voy

en una jaca castaña.

Las fatigas de la muerte

me dan a mí, que no a otro,

cuando salgo al campo a verte

con mi negra, negra suerte

en mi negro, negro potro.

Benditos Poetas

MY TOP TEN SPAIN ENTRIES IN ESC (1961-1999)

hope you like it :)

10. VIVO CANTANDO [I LIVE SINGING] - SALOMÉ (1969, 1st PLACE)

desde que llegaste ya no vivo llorando / vivo cantando / vivo cantando

[since you came into my life i no longer live crying / i live singing / i live singing]

Here we have, the second and for now the last win of Spain in Eurovision, Vivo Cantando!! I like it, but not as much as other songs in the list, and imo it gets a bit repetitive in the end, so that's why it's number 10.

9. BAILEMOS UN VALS [LET'S DANCE A WALTZ] - JOSÉ VÉLEZ (1978, 10th PLACE)

voulez vous danser avec moi? / ¿quieres que bailemos un vals?

[do you want to dance with me? / may we dance a waltz?]

The chorus of this song fucks so much, it's super catchy and perfect to scream at the top of your longs, but the rest of the song is a bit average, that's why it's so low.

8. EN UN MUNDO NUEVO [IN A NEW WORLD] - KARINA (1971, 2nd PLACE)

tus sueños de siempre se harán realidad / en un mundo nuevo y feliz

[all your dreams will come true / in a new and happy world]

KARINA MY BELOVED 🥰🥰🥰🥰 No but right now she has this role of adorable grandma everybody knows in Spanish pop culture, she's the best. Maybe my love for Karina played a major part on the placement of this song. Maybe. But the song is nice as well, it's not bad at all! And she got a movie made of her ESC experience which I have yet to see (it's also called 'En un mundo nuevo', if you want to watch it)

7. BANDIDO [BANDIT] - AZÚCAR MORENO (1990, 5th PLACE)

tu ausencia en mis noches provoca lamentos / suspiros y llantos, y oscura pasión

[your absence in my nights conjures laments / sighs and cries, and a dark passion]

THEY INVENTED CAMP. No but this performance is everything, they're great and the song is a bop!!! I think we need more heavy (cante jondo) flamenco songs like this one with flamenco and especially roma artists like Azúcar Moreno to go to Eurovision (maybe not them tho, I loved that they were in the Benidorm Fest this year but you know...). Also that moment when the playback started playing wrong and they got mad and left the stage, iconique.

6. YO SOY AQUEL [I AM HE] - RAPHAEL [1966, 7th PLACE]

y estoy aquí, aquí para quererte / estoy aquí, aquí para adorarte / yo estoy aquí, para decirte / amor, amor, amor, amor

[and i'm here, here to love you / i'm here, here to adore you / i'm here, here to call you / love, love, love, love]

I still can't believe Raphael went to Eurovision. For comparision, it is like if Harry Styles represented the UK right now; absolutely insane behaviour. And the song is SOOO GOOD!!!! It is an excelent karaoke song, the chorus is super cathartic and the emotion is incredible. There was also a really iconic Trina commercial done with a parody of the song and it's *chefs kiss*, probably one of the best commercials ever done here. Also, Raphael's other song in Eurovision, Hablemos del Amor, is also pretty good, but I didn't want to have two of his songs in this top.

5. ERES TÚ [IT IS YOU] - MOCEDADES (1973, 2nd PLACE)

eres tú / como el agua de mi fuente / eres tú / el fuego de mi hogar

[it is you / like the water of my fountain / it is you / the fire of my hearth]

This song, man. It leaves this fuzzy feeling in my chest after listening to it, it's just incredibly wholesome and epic at the same time, I can't believe it didn't won cause it screams winning song. Also, of course, hearing it I'm reminded of the OT 2017 version of it, which also was pretty good I think (you thought I wouldn't talk about OT here, huh??? well you were so so wrong).

4. ESTANDO CONTIGO [BEING WITH YOU] - CONCHITA BAUTISTA (1961, 9th PLACE)

estando contigo, contigo, contigo / de pronto me siento feliz / y cuando te miro, te miro, te miro / me olvido del mundo y de mí

[being with you, with you, with you / suddenly i feel happy / and when i look at you, i look at you, i look at you / i forget about the world and about myself]

This was the first song Spain ever sent to Eurovision and oh my god we started with a banger!!!! Like it's so so good it's insane, it's a classic in Spanish pop culture and Conchita's performance was so so good!!! Incredible behaviour altogether. Also, this song is mostly known for being performed by child actor-turned-marxist and social activist legend Marisol and this gives me a perfect oportunity to plug the Marisol medley they did on OT 2020, which included fragments of this song, enjoy <3

3. LA, LA, LA - MASSIEL (1968, 1st PLACE)

todo en la vida es como una canción / te cantan cuando naces / y también en el adiós

[everything in life is like a song / they sing to you when you are born / and also in the goodbye]

The first win of Spain in ESC!!!!! This is one of those songs that may seem simple but then you actually listen to the lyrics (besides the la, la, las) and you start bawling your eyes off cause holy shit this deserved to win so much. It also justifies the presence of the la la las in the song which is insane!!! Anyways I love this song and I love Massiel and yeah, this right here was History of Spain <3

2. BAILAR PEGADOS [DANCING TOGETHER] - SERGIO DALMA (1991, 4th PLACE)

nuestra balada va a sonar / vamos a probar / probar el arte de volar

[our ballad is going to play / we are going to try / try the art of flying ]

Everytime this song plays I become a middle-aged woman screaming and crying and drooling after this man, I find myself guilty, I confess your honour. No but like when I was younger I was OBSESSED with this song. I definitely have cried listening to this song thinking about a crush, and I used to think this was the most romantic song in the world, even if it has the most cheesy and cringy verse ever 'bailar pegados es bailar / igual que baila el mar / con los delfines' [dancing together is dancing / just as the sea dances / with the dolphins] I still think it's a bop tho, an incredible song and performance altogether. Btw, Ruth Lorenzo covered this song in Benidorm Fest this year and yeah... I like it even more after that.

1. LA FIESTA TERMINÓ [THE PARTY IS OVER] - PALOMA SAN BASILIO (1985, 14th PLACE)

amor, perdón por lo de amor / me sale sin querer / tal vez porque te amaba / y ahora no, la fiesta terminó

[love, sorry for calling you love / i'm not doing it on purpose / maybe it's because i used to love you / and now i don't, the party is over]

This song makes me feel like very few songs do, I believe it's one of the best heartbreak songs ever, and of course it's excelent for karaoke. It's also therapeutic to sing it while crying, try it, I can say it works! So yeah, I just really love this song, it makes me feel lots of stuff and it's very very good :)
