This February 28, Andalusia Day, David Bisbal has been recognized as Favorite Son. Also Lola Flores, posthumously and coinciding with his centenary. Among those recognized with the Medals of Andalusia, Manuel Benítez ‘El Cordobés’, fully topical for the reconciliation with his son, Manuel Díaz.
Manuel Díaz himself attended the ceremony in the company of his wife, Virginia Troconis, and their young daughter, Triana. On this important day for Manuel Benítez, the two have been united. Who was going to say until recently, after five decades of ignorance on the part of the father and insistence on the part of his son. The two starred in an emotional meeting a few weeks ago and they are no longer separated. The decorated man has also been supported by his wife, María de los Ángeles Quesada, fundamental in the reconciliation between father and son.
Rosario Flores has attended the ceremony, presented once again by Eva González, to collect recognition for her mother. For her daughters, this award has come late, but it has arrived. Finally, one of the most influential artists in Spanish culture is already a Favorite Daughter of her land. It has coincided with the centenary of her birth, which is why the family is also finalizing the opening of the museum in her honor. It will open its doors in Jerez, La Faraona’s homeland, this spring. Rosario has been accompanied by Mariola Orellana, her representative and wife of Antonio Carmona.
Bisbal, for his part, has also been recognized as Favorite Son, the highest distinction of these annual awards. At 43 years old, the man from Almería has established himself as one of the most decisive Spanish singers of the last decades and with the most success internationally. Reason why this recognition is more than deserved. This Monday he was also recognized as Favorite Son of Almería before the emotion of his wife, Rosanna Zanetti.
