Anecdote

José tells us that he was with “El Tete” and “El Yiyo” in a very famous tablao and many people approached them to ask for photos. As José was not very well known at that time, they asked him who he was, and José tells us that he pretended to be the master of the brothers, “El Tete” and “El Yiyo”. People started asking him for pictures and asked him to dance and Jose danced so well that people didn’t doubt for a second the veracity of his story.
