Everything changed there and then. I don’t know why, but I said to myself “I must play that”, and that is how I came to study with Manolo Yglesias, who taught me, from the very beginning, every rhythm, accompaniment to singing and dancing, until a year later he told me: “Che Sebastián, I’m leaving on tour. Do you dare to cover for me at the Carmen, a tablao in Almagro?” And I dared to play (professionally) for the first time
