Loved this guys suit. Photos taken at the rooftop and pool party at the #RockinraceJamboree that happens in February in Southern Spain 🇪🇸 every year. If you love good, honest rock n roll it’s a great place to be to drive away the winter blues 🎸

Flamenco guitarists are known as tocaores (from the Andalusian pronunciation of tocadores, ‘players’) and their technique is known as toque. Tocaores tend to play the guitar as close as possible to the bridge in order to produce a harsh, rasping sound. 🇪🇸🎶💃 🎟 downbytheriver9.com
