Comment
XXVII International Poetry Festival

Funny speech between Song 11 and 12 (middle of track 6), about journalists saying her she's gothic ("conyosos" great invented spanish word) and an unexpected or just casual joke saying "porque porque porque", a famous 2011 spanish soccer sentence from coach Jose Mourinho, was it casual or intentional? That's why the woman next to me laughs so loud. I think it's been unintentional. (let me say that this sentence was used by that coach to complain why his team, Real Madrid, was losing every important match, blaming referees and federations alike, but not his fault, of course).
