You will LOVE today’s clip of Luis Ortega singing alegrías de Córdoba on Tierra de Talento at just thirteen years of age!
And once again, seeing and hearing the judges’ reactions, especially José Mercé’s, is almost as satisfying as watching and listening to this little guy sing.
Here’s the juguetillo he finishes with followed by the video of his live performance:
Alegrías de Córdoba
Traditional
Que dime lo que tienes
debajo del pie
dime lo que tienes
rosita y clavel
Tell me what you have
underneath your foot
tell me what you have
rose and carnation
You can hear this one at about 2:20 in the video below:
He sings this letra about one minute in.
You can hear Niño de la Fragua sing that one here.
And you can hear Curro de Utrera sing today’s here at about 2:45.
Listen to how Luis’s voice has changed as he’s grown up here. (You’ll also see in the video from December of 2020 signs of the pandemic and how they modified the program due to Covid-19.)
