The second night of the Flamenco Song Contest of 1922 was the one of the downpour, the one immortalized by the cartoonist Antonio L\u00f3pez Sancho<\/a> in his famous collective caricature with singers and organizers covering their heads with their chairs upside down, as did the audience that packed the Plaza de los Aljibes in the Alhambra<\/a> and that lasted until midnight. The evening, whose chronicle Galer\u00edn solves at a stroke, passed “with the same styles and the same lyrics as the previous night” although a little more lackluster: “The artists did not sing so well and the public applauded them less. Neither the old nor the young. None of them did anything”.<\/p>\n

Diego El Tenazas<\/a>\u00a0returned but more worn out. He gets on stage, starts to sing, but gets stuck. The lyrics begin: “They buried her…”, but El Tenazas either doesn’t remember or is trapped in grief and repeats: \u201cThey buried her, they buried her, they buried her…”. At the end, he remembers and he continues: “La enterraron [They buried her] \/ en el pante\u00f3n chiquito [in the small pantheon]\/ del desenga\u00f1o”. [Of disillusionment\u201d.] Ram\u00f3n G\u00f3mez de la Serna, in the newspaper, gives him a piece of advice: “I would have said more times that magnificent `they buried her’ if the audience had not gotten slightly tired and started to murmur. What a prodigious `they buried her’! It had the tone of the bells that toll dead and the irreparable sound of the shovelfuls of earth on the box, a lot of earth because they buried it very deep”. Ram\u00f3n was reminded of the interminable woe, woe, woe…! that he had read in a book of Inquisition records relating “the torments of a poor heretic”.<\/p>\n

“Now it can be said that the deep song of Spain has been saved,” concludes French Hispanist Maurice Legendre in the Noticiero granadino<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
