Life’s not fair. If your history goes from Roman Theatre<\/em> to Comedia dell’Arte<\/em> to Opera<\/em>, it’s little miracle that screens world wide are saturated with Brando’s<\/strong>, Madonna’s<\/strong> and DiCaprio’s<\/strong>. Knowing how to play crowds runs through your veins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy might have copyrighted the Latin Lover, good old Hispania<\/em> still does rather well in the domain – and then, obviously<\/em>, M\u00e1laga stands out again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antonio Banderas,<\/strong> anyone? From Benalm\u00e1dena.
Pablo Picasso<\/strong>? M\u00e1laga ciudad.
Julio Iglesias?<\/strong>  Somewhere between Miami and Oj\u00e9n.
Carmen? <\/strong>Ronda. La<\/em> Macarena? <\/strong> from Marbella.
OK, the latter is an imaginary character from a song. That there is such a song though is tale-telling.
With some goodwill and positive thinking we could say that also Enrique Iglesias<\/strong> surely must have a temporary post box in Oj\u00e9n.
And that’s just people from M\u00e1laga, only one of the 53 provinces of Spain. So let’s not try to count the number of times that the expression ‘Spanish eyes’<\/strong> pops up in songs the world over (If only Sevilla would be so kind to be in M\u00e1laga, we would win the gold medal of the universe, with Don Juan<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a good 500 million views on YouTube<\/strong>, it’s clear though that a new prince, a new Pablo has come to town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who else than….<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

that Malague\u00f1o having to carry 5ft8 of charisma through Calle Larios… the walking ballad named Pablo Albor\u00e1n<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No idea why there are 1,100,000 pages about him in Google, we ourselves find him to be rather forgettable (which we find ever since we personally met him, after a concert in the auditorium of Guaro in 2011, around 23:16 in Bar Lord Canis) (he wore a green T-shirt).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
