Chords between the doorways of my city | My entry for #Monomad Challenge [ENG-ESP]

Hello, Hive black-and-white photography lovers!

Let me tell you about him. His name is Ángelo. He is one of those people who has managed to win the hearts of almost everyone who gets to know him.

He taught himself English to perfection so he could sing—to his heart's content—the songs that have always moved him throughout his time immersed in the chords of blues and rock and roll.

When he picks up a guitar, his face transforms, making him look like a child filled with boundless happiness. When he sings—almost always iconic rock songs—he becomes lost to the world and takes everyone on a magical journey.

Today, he was lent a guitar and, without a second thought, treated us to a concert where he seemed to be sharing a timeless stage with none other than Jimmy Page or Robert Plant.

His face, scarred by time, contrasts with the radiance conveyed by his voice and melodies. How could one ignore this moment and not preserve it in still images?

Happy about the moment we’ve shared, I bid you farewell—sending a warm, radiant embrace to each of you—until the next black-and-white frame, but not without reminding you: keep smiling!

¡Hola amantes de la fotografía en blanco y negro de Hive!

Les cuento. Él, se llama Ángelo. Es uno de esos personajes que ha sabido ganarse el corazón de casi todos los que logran conocerlo.

De manera autodidacta aprendió a la perfección el idioma inglés para poder cantar a placer aquellas canciones que siempre le han emocionado durante todo el tiempo sumergido en los acordes del blues y el rock and roll.

Cuando atrapa una guitarra su rostro se transforma al punto de parecer un niño infinitamente feliz. Cuando canta, casi siempre temas icónicos del rock, se enajena del mundo y transporta a todos a un viaje mágico.

Hoy le prestaron una guitarra y, sin pensarlo, nos regaló un concierto donde parecía compartir escenario atemporal con el mismísimo Jimmy Page o Robert Plant.

Su rostro, con cicatrices del tiempo, contrasta con el brillo que transmite con la voz y sus melodías. ¿Cómo ignorar este instante y no perpetuarlo en fotogramas?

Feliz por el momento vivido, me voy despidiendo con un abrazo de luz a cada uno de ustedes hasta un próximo fotograma en blanco y negro, no sin antes recordarles que ¡no dejen de sonreír!
