Pepe Luis Vázquez and Joaquín Rodrigo
In tribute to Pepe Luis Vázquez, considered one of the ten best bullfighters
of the 20th century, who recently passed away, we recall that he was one of
the celebrities who participated in the legendary gatherings of all sorts
of artists at Madrid's Cafe Lyon, together with José María de Cossío,
Zuloaga, Sopeña, Belmonte and Joaquín Rodrigo. As a token of their
friendship, Joaquín Rodrigo composed and dedicated a pasodoble to Pepe Luis
Vázquez which we are posting here.
The newspaper "Diario de Sevilla" remembered the historical and particularly
beautiful pass which Vazquez performed in Aranjuez on May 30, 1949, that
came to be known as the Concierto de Aranjuez.
