Madre Hermosa (Copla)
Juanito Valderrama
Ay, mi mare!,
como un rayito de luna
regüerto con azahares.

y la cara de azucena.
¡Qué alegría cuando
le digo a la gente:
qué guapa la mare mía!

But last night was even more unbelievable than normal.
So today we begin with a new round of interviews with Mercedes Ruíz. In today's interview, Mercedes talks about the longest amount of time she's gone without dancing, how she interprets a letra, and shares who some of her favorite flamenco of today dancers are.
