Hi...and thanks for having the
courage to look at my 'Big Thing'. I could just as easily
have called this page 'Flavour Of The Month' but
that wouldn't have been such an obvious smutty
double-entendre! Anyway, here you will find whatever it
is that is currently obsessing me and, as my boredom
threshold is rather low, you can expect this page to be
updated fairly regularly, so do come again! |
GO VISIT MÓNICA NARANJO
This is Mónica's first album which, had I known it existed then, I would have scoured Mallorca for! As it is, I have had to resort to sending a whining plea to Luis and Rafael to ask them to try and get it for me in Pamplona, where they live - I've promised to send the money...and I will...honest... |
I 'borrowed' these two pictures from an unofficial homepage devoted to Mónica. Again, it is in Spanish but it is all fantastically well done and well worth a look, it is quite obvious that a lot of care has gone into it - now that's what I call a Fan! |
Here is a brief soundclip of another Spanish singer that I admire very much: Rocio Jurado. She is more of what you might call a 'Classic' (ie: Flamenco) Spanish singer although she doesn't limit herself to Spanish 'Classics' by any means. Her style encompasses many song genres, including Pop, and every style is treated with the same drama and passion. This is a short clip from her song: "Como las alas al viento" ("On the wings of the wind") .The sound quality isn't all that good but you get the general idea of what Rocio sounds like. It's not so much that she possesses a good voice, more that a good voice seems to possess her - sometimes she seems quite unable to control the emotion in it. This song was the highlight of Drag-Queen Derek's act and we were told that his impersonation was a very good one. I don't have a decent picture of Rocio yet but have asked some Spanish friends for one and will post it here when I receive it. |
