El Fuego
My Great Grandfather has passed away. His name was El Fego. He was born in Spain. He moved to New Mexico as a child.He only spoke Spanish.He had 12 children,6 boys and 6 girls.My dad says that he could play any instrument you give him.He owned a big apple orchard. El Fego taught my dad how to play instruments.He passed away in 1989.He seems like a good man. He was very talented and I wish I could of met him.I wish I knew what he looked like but I don't because I don't have pictures of him.
