A la Entrada de Granada | The Weekly Letra
What “instrument” is Emilio Ochando playing in the video below?
HINT: You can find these in anybody’s kitchen.
Here’s one of the letras that he dances to in this piece:
Verdiales/Tangos
Traditional
A la entrada de Granada
calle de los Herradores,
está la Virgen del Triunfo
con veinticinco faroles
At the entrance to Granada
on Herradores* Street
sits the Virgen of Triumph
with twenty five lanterns
This is one of the letras Loreto De Diego sings for Emilio in his latest solo show, Clásica Tradición, which he will be performing right here in Portland this Sunday!
Here’s a clip from that piece:
So, what is Emilio playing?

*A note: Herradores means blacksmiths however I thought the translation sounded better as Herradores Street, leaving that part in Spanish.
You can watch and listen to El Lebrijano sing it here por tangos:
