THE AMATEUR SINGERS IN
FUENGIROLA and some professionals!
AMATÖRSÅNGARNA I FUENGIROLA och några proffs!
In Fuengirola the singing
is blooming! Both the professional and the singing from so called amateurs! Amateurs,
as they are called, has taken a very special place in my heart! Most of these
fantastic persons could easily be my parents, some of them could even be my
grandparents!
Otto Pedersen became 89 I April! Otto was opera singer in
Kopenhagen, Denmark. But most of these singers has never sang before!
This article is my tribute to some of these marvellous people.
I want to start by
mentioning some of those who are not among us anymore. Their singing lives
within us who have heard them!

I Fuengirola blommar sången, både den
professionella och den av så kallade amatörer. De så kallade amatörerna har
verkligen tagit en plats i mitt hjärta! De flesta av dessa fantastiska
människor skulle enkelt kunna vara mina föräldrar, några skulle nästan kunna
vara mina far-eller morföräldrar.
Otto Pedersen blev 89 år i april! Otto var operasångare
i Köpenhamn, Danmark. Men många av dessa sångare och sångerskor har aldrig
sjungit förr! Den här sidan blir min hyllning till några av dessa underbara
människor.
Jag vill börja med att nämna några av dem som inte
längre finns bland oss. Deras sånger lever hos oss som hört dem.
