Ya falta menos de un mes para cruzar el charco y aunque parece que ya estamos preparados, nunca está de más hacer un repasito de las instrucciones básicas para viajar a USA. Por eso os copio un link de un post que he leído hoy titulado "Precauciones y preparativos para viajar a EE.UU."
Por otro lado, como os dije en el post anterior, ya me he puesto en contacto con mi familia Tejana y al parecer mi prima Subhadra (a la que no veo desde que vino a Sevilla a hacer la comunión con 9 años) vive en Las Vegas :D Tengo su mail y estoy esperando que Silvia me eche una mano con el english para contactar con ella a ver si nos puede hacer de guía... ya os contaré cuando tenga noticias ;)
José María Roldán, “Pepe de Sevilla” was born in Seville, Spain. Pepe was first introduced to flamenco at a very young age during his baptismal celebration in Seville where the singer “Niño de Jerez” sang among others. “Niño de Jerez” later known as “Manuel Torre” was one of the greatest flamenco singers of all time. Pepe arrived in Mexico City in 1949 where he sang at “La Gran Tasca”, “El Colmao”, “La Bodega”, “Rincón de Goya”, “Venta de los Titeres”, “Rio Rosa” and “Plaza de Toros”. He traveled throughout Mexico on tour with his Flamenco group “Los Majaretas de Triana” and in Ciudad Juarez was contracted for 4 years at the famous restaurant-bar “El Alcazar” where he was accompanied by great guitarists such as: Roberto Rojas Barrales, Manolo Parra, Gustavo Reza “El Buzo”. From 1957 to 1971 Pepe owned the famous “Bar Sevilla” in El Paso, Texas, which was the meeting place of many great intellectuals and Flamencos of the time including: Agustín Castellón “Sabicas”, Antonio Triana, Luisa Triana, Maestro Manolo Matos, Miguel Galvez “El Niño de las Cabezas”, Juan Perrín, bullfighter John Fulton Short, Nobel Prize winner Pearl Buck and Flamenco Dance Company of Jimenez-Vargas to name a few. Pepe is currently being accompanied by his son-Flamenco Guitarist José María Roldán, III. Pepe recently relocated to the Austin area with his son and family.
