Who was Manuel Torre, the cantaor who made the Alameda the kingdom of his cante?

Today brings the second chapter of this chronicle, a series I have so wanted to share with those who truly feel this art.

In the coming weeks I will keep publishing, little by little, fragments of the research behind my itinerary through the Alameda de Hércules — a memory documented thanks to writers, historians, professors, flamencologists… and also thanks to the neighbours and to some families who have opened their history to me with a generosity that fills me with gratitude.

Share this with someone who loves flamenco. Thank you from the heart.
