Welcome Letter To New Md




One day in July 1958 I met a venerable gypsy. His name was Miguel Rodriguez Niño "The Bengal". He sat in the cool, in the hallway sardinel his house in the street of Triana Pagés del Corro. I said, just know that he was descended from the port and pay close attention. He told me his grandfather was Peter Child Boneo "El Brujo", born in El Puerto in 1819 and architect of a toná siguiriya and bearing his name and were unknown to all. "The Bengal" and kept them fully realize it at the Third Festival of Song of the Ports in 1973. He knew, moreover, the toná of \u200b\u200bPajaritos and endless romances and historical epic type due to his memory and the tradition received from at least, his great, great uncle, Juan Jose Nino Lopez, the most complete novelist has been known throughout the Hispanic world and who was born in El Puerto in 1859.

The family of "The Bengal" marched from the Port of Seville, an issue that had his grandfather with a certain Joaquinillo The Lamplighter, whose story was singing "El Brujo" like a wounded lion, whenever he thought of that Health daughter had lost such Joaquinillo:

For forty reals
sad And some shoes blackberry,
Joaquinillo The Lamplighter
Your garden has marchitáo.

In Seville, settled first at Sage Street in Puerta Osario, where they forge and then joined Triana, where he lived on the street purity, 127 and put sets in the Monte Pirolo and then in the Huerta del Carmen, in the same place where now stands the Tower de los Remedios and before the Night Club "El Cortijo El Guajiro." There was

Forge Manuel Sacramento Child, his grandfather

What is something that shines from atop
those hills?
Sacramento is the forge and iron
That is crushing.

"The Bengal" was truant, gang banderillero in his cousin Joaquin Rodriguez "Cagancho" forge assistant (masher and Bellows-fuck-) model in the School of Fine Arts of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, who sells olives in the market street fair, singer and grocery sales, waiter, farrier, plus cuatropeas corridor.

rebelled was because his son had gone Joaquin boxer and came home with a fatal beating and lying face down. However, blessed the Amparo was her daughter married dancer and guitarist Pepe "Bean" that, ultimately, parents were no less than Josemi Carmona, the "Ketama.

With "The Bengal" had a very great friendship. I recounted all his ancestors from Porto a dark Pedro Ximenez Child, born in 1621, even he, like a schoolboy reciting the list of the Gothic kings. When in 1974 I had announced for the IV Festival of Song of the ports, I got a telegram saying he could not act because he was wrong. A few days later he died and I do not think so, because to me he was immortal.
