Once in Cádiz she comes alive, dancing and playing on the beach—she even has a makeshift beach in the middle of the outdoor plaza in a rectangle of sand and fishing net laid carefully over the bricks. Rosario then dances por bulerias to recorded music by Dani de Morón. After setting up her persona in the earlier parts, now her enjoyment in the dance shines through. I think her theatricality in this was perfect for an outdoor setting—and the audience seemed to agree—putting up with the heat just to watch her dance. ¡Olé Rosario!
After the performance I got drinks with Rosario and her family. They are all such sweet people! And I noted that she gets her silliness from her father, who at one point got her attention by throwing crumpled napkins at her. He also insisted on buying everyone more drinks, because as he explained to me using what little English he knows, “beer is very ‘portant in espain.” He also knows how to say, “being in espain is very good,” and indeed it is 🙂
Also been there, luckyly and agree with you, thanx 4 this post! ♥ La Gazpacha from Germany…
