Jesús Álvarez Cervantes sealed with a lyric-filled proclamation the link between the Álvarez family and the International Festival of Cante de las Minas.
The sports journalist Jesús Álvarez Cervantes gave the opening speech of the 58th edition of the International Festival of Cante de las Minas.
True to his close and close style, Álvarez conquered the public that filled the Old Public Market of La Unión with two strokes.
The presenter of TVE, with his voice of announcer marred some verses of Lope de Vega that served to engage spectators who wanted to meet the continuator of a saga of town crier who began in 1961 with Jesus Alvarez Garcia, father of the crier of this edition.
Álvarez Cervantes himself had words of remembrance for his father and was moved by remembering his figure and how he and an enthusiast Esteban Bernal contributed to "this festival is alive, more alive every year, because it is unbreakable their spirit of union, making honor to its land and discovery of the talent that is forged in the voices, the body and the instruments that sound every year in La Unión "
The sports journalist had a recognition for the idiosyncrasies of the Sierra Minera and the quejío mining "flamenco, is indisputable food not only of the individual senses, but the collective day to day of the Union and everything that represents this mining land and Levantine "
And he extolled the great festival that has 58 continuous editions held "You are the epicenter of the feeling that comes out of the deep cante and you are protagonists of a story as passionate and profound as the mines that have forged the character of all your history"
