- Do you still remember your performance in Zaragoza?
- Man! That night was very special for several reasons: because he played in the city where I lived until age 18, where my family, all my first friends ... I saw a whole row for my immediate family, with 26 entries, more than 22 other cousins who were drawn to the entrance. Nearly half the flag.
- Leonard Cohen was very affectionate ...
- No doubt, typically very affectionate, but tonight was special because thanked my family and the city of Zaragoza. Something that has never done in any concert.
- How many concerts have so far?
- We have 200. And there's one more year and we'll be in South Africa, East, South America, and return to New Zealand and Australia.
- This is a spectacular dimension.
- How to show there is bigger, but singers can not do a tour bigger than this. Leonard Cohen is a universal legend, who known throughout the world.
- How is it possible to offer these concerts so long?
- It's got forty songs that are in the memory of everyone. It takes very long to have to remove some for the concerts.
- Is it true that it is preparing new album?
- Yes, I have composed and recorded almost all in 2010. I was granted the honor of knowing first hand, to offer proposals of certain arrangements ... The songs are very good, and I tell you.
- Your name as a musician is on many agendas.
- Yes, certainly. They have come to see us all the great world music, and many have discovered the sound of the mandolin. I have several proposals to collaborate with names of first row.
- What the mandolin and have been stoked archilaud ...
- Sure, they are instruments that played almost anyone. I have a great foundation for my first teacher was the master mandolin Peirona, who taught me nine. And many great artists have found this highly original sound.
- And the archilaud?
- You can say that I just play in the world. It is an instrument almost disappeared, a serious sound beautiful.
- What music do you listen?
- Always for pleasure: first, Carmen Amaya and Sabicas. Then, Ry Cooder, Albert King, Bobbie Blue Band. And, in another dimension, music, Greek, Turkish, Arabic and flamenco. And finally the singer-songwriters.
