Tomatito

The guitarist José Fernandez Torres "Tomatito" made enthusiastic the public of the sevillan Maestranza theatre with hisshow "Luz de guía (The eternal twinkle)", title dedicated to the singer Camaron de la Isla, of whom he has been the guitaristduring 20 years and with whom he started at 15 years old.
The guitarist did not play except at the begining of the concert, a "taranta" which ended up by "fandangos", accompaniedby a second guitar, two percussionists and the voice of three singers, like Simón Román and Juanito de Íllora."Tomatito" has been received by an ovation when he came to the sober stage, on which everything was black except theguitar and the shirt of the master. Just the lights seed to dye of a light blue the background of the stage when the guitarist and his accompanists launched into the liveliest palos and the most rhytmical compositions.
