Anda de Luna

I took the train in and then went to Plaza Pelicano to meet Concha, but it was Curro who had driven her in, not Rafael. On the way back I learned about the Jackson Five. From Curro, a 24 year old flamenco guitarist born into a half gitano, flamenco family in an outpost of Andalucia. "Who is this?" I asked. Michael Jackson, when he had "ocho años". Well, and his family of course. Curro said that of course this music is popular in Spain, he is "numero uno en todo el mundo." I am sure that people know Michael Jackson, but from the 60s? Concha said she didn't know much about this music either, but called it a "maravilla", obviously loving it.
I told them I was 12 when Thriller was popular and asked if they knew the "Anda de Luna". They kind of looked blank.

When we got home I asked Mai. We communicate always in Spanish, but her English pronunciation is excellent and her English reading was at one point, prize winning. I asked in Spanish if she knew the kind of walking that Michael Jackson did; a dance move. "The Moonwalk," she said immediately.

Anyways, either the Spanish didn't get the videos or they have a different name for it. Actually I think Frasci knew, but not from the name.
