Last Saturday, February 4th, at six in the evening and in a sold-out Casa Círculo Cultural offered a tribute to the Mexican singer, composer and actor Agustín Lara, better known as “El flaco de oro”.
Under the title "My girlfriend, loneliness", a play in four acts created by the Mexican writer Irma Gallo, was that the Redwood City audience was delighted with the representation of the most emblematic life and work that Agustín Lara composed for his main loves.
Songs such as "Veracruz", "Granada", "Arráncame la vida", "María Bonita" and "Solamente una vez" were performed by the multi-award-winning tenor Alonso Sicairos accompanied on the piano by Jennifer Peringer while actress Monica Zarate and actor Roberto Cruz gave life to characters such as Esther Rivas, Angelina Bruschetta, Maria Felix and Rocio Duran, all of them great loves of Agustin Lara.
Before the start of the theatrical performance, the audience enjoyed gourmet dishes from the sea and land, as well as delicious desserts and wines from the California region.
It is worth noting that this is not the first time that the play “Mi novia la soledad” has been staged, as it was previously performed with great success on Saturday, January 21 at the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts in San Francisco, California.
