Juan Martinez Vilchez, (1901-1980) or "Pericon de Cadiz," was known as one of the leading exponents of cante in the style of Cadiz, a veteran of the by then waning fiesta scene, a link to early twentieth century flamenco, and a former featured artist from La Zambra. But most importantly he was known as the epitome of a witty Gaditano story teller. Surely because of this reputation, Jose Luis Ortiz Nuevo lugged his tape recorder to Pericon's Madrid apartment, and, plying his subject with whiskey, proceeded to collect what was to become a classic. The English translation by John Moore is faithful to the original.
