RAFA BOCERO, SPANISH SINGER-SONGWRITER, JUNE 3RD
We in Sligo Spanish Society are delighted to present Rafa Bocero in his first ever Irish performance. Rafa is a singer-songwriter from Cordoba in Spain, and will play for us on Friday June 3 rd , in the Yeats Building Sligo. The event starts at 8pm. Rafa has performed all over Spain, Cuba, Germany and Portugal, and has collaborated with various artists, including Lien y Rey in Cuba and Estrada Fado group in Germany. In 2013 his song El Pasito was used as an anthem by Cordoba football club, and was instrumental in forming a bond between club and fans that led to the team being promoted to the Primera Liga. His songs have also been used in various Spanish television programmes, including on the show Mujeres y Hombres y Viceversa, on the Tele5 channel. Rafa’s visit to Sligo is especially fitting as he is going to play live for the first time his song The Fiddler of Dooney, which uses the words of the Yeats poem of the same name which Rafa has set to music.
