The minstrel from Italy, Matteo Belli, was the responsible for inaugurating the Cycle with a funny monolog “Genti intendete questo sermone”.
Antoni Rossell and Gabriel Calvo offered last night a completely different repertoire.

Afterwards, Gabriel Calvo performed a complete repertoire based on “El Romancero: un cuento que se cuenta y además se canta” together with songs from his CD: “Cuaderno de romances tradicionales”, and the popular music from Salamanca.
The musical group Aljama will close the Minstrel Cycle, they will be tonight: “Tres juglares sefardíes”.
