Tras ser tenor de \u00f3pera en Madrid e A Habana, este lucense acabou pedindo esmola<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Extracto sacado de nota de prensa da VG<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naceu Pedro Sotuela Vila e pobre. Foi pastor no seu Caurel natal e tenor de \u00f3pera en Madrid e A Habana. Ent\u00f3n convert\u00e9rono en David Sotuela, soaba mellor. E acabou de esmoleiro polas r\u00faas de Lugo e de Madrid. A s\u00faa historia, recollida en parte por Eco de Galicia da Habana, ten moito de triste. E bastante de incrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vi\u00f1o ao mundo en 1890 en San Silvestre de Seceda, aldea hoxe declarada Ben de Interese Cultural en Folgoso do Caurel. Como os seus pais, apacent\u00f3 cabras e ovellas naquelas altas, brancas e fr\u00edas monta\u00f1as. Cantaba sempre e a s\u00faa voz, como o tango, ti\u00f1a trasgos e pantasmas e respiraba como a asma dun desgastado acorde\u00f3n. Pero chegaba \u00e1 xente, estremec\u00eda…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ao falecer os seus proxenitores, aos 12 anos, Sotuela ocupouse como repartidor de pan en Monforte. Un cura animouno a marchar a Madrid para formar e educar unha voz \u201ccomo non vin nunca\u201d, d\u00edxolle ent\u00f3n. E as\u00ed o fixo. Era pique de coci\u00f1a na casa da familia Labra cando Federico Culebras, fundador do Centro Galego de Madrid, escoitouno e invitouno a cantar para os madrigallegos no seu local social. https:\/\/975c6cd59316a91c682a38a639e84aef.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-37\/html\/container.html<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nese tempo ?primeiros anos do s\u00e9culo- Sotuela ga\u00f1aba seis pesos ao mes e traballaba dezasete horas ao d\u00eda. Como non ti\u00f1a tempo nin di\u00f1eiro, un vello m\u00fasico de orixe galega, Manuel Blanco , cativado pola s\u00faa voz, deulle gratis lecci\u00f3ns de canto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No Teatro Real<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Da casa de L\u00e1braos pasou \u00e1 dos Gabrieles, na r\u00faa de Echegaray, e deixou esta para irse cun parente que o estafou e t\u00edvoo un ano traballando nunha fundici\u00f3n sen pagarlle\u2026 Deambulaba polas r\u00faas cantando e outro galego, Ricardo de la Vega Oreiro ?sainetero, fillo do dramaturgo Ventura de la Vega- o\u00eduno e aconsellou ao propietario do Hotel Palace que o contratase. Non ti\u00f1a roupa adecuada e o Centro Galego comproulla. Interpretou Meus amores, Doce sono, a Partida, Unha\u2026 noite e o \u00e9xito foi tal que a prensa dixo que nacera a estrela l\u00edrica do porvir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A partir de a\u00ed, foi fichado en 1920 polo Teatro Real como \u201ctenor de primeiro punte\u201d; estreou A chama, de Usandizaga; e o profesor do Conservatorio de Madrid, Ignacio Tabuyo, vendo os seus grandes e pouco cultivadas cualidades, solicitou para el ao Centro Galego unha pensi\u00f3n coa que puidese formarse. Pero foille negada e Soutela empregouse nun bar ata que entrou a traballar como enfermeiro no Hospital do Carmen por unha recomendaci\u00f3n do director de Espa\u00f1a Nova, Emilio Jim\u00e9nez. Iso deu un xiro insospeitado \u00e1 s\u00faa vida e levouno a Cuba\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
David Sotuela era un home bo e confiado. Os intermediarios sempre estiveron entre el e os seus asuntos. E no Hospital do Carmen foi un adi\u00f1eirado paciente, Jos\u00e9 Lancha, o que o puxo en contacto con Manuel Penella, o compositor e empresario teatral valenciano autor do gato mont\u00e9s, Don Gil de Alcal\u00e1 ou As musas latinas. F\u00edxolle unha proba e decidiu contratalo e levalo a Cuba.

Sotuela estreara A Canci\u00f3n do Olvido , de Serrano, ti\u00f1a fama e a s\u00faa viaxe tivo moito eco na prensa tras o gran recibimento que lle tributou a colonia galega de Santiago de Cuba. Ofreceu un concerto e o entusiasmo e o afecto cara a el desbord\u00e1ronse\u2026 Debutou no Teatro Payret e casou cunha arxentina pero nada do prometido cumpriuse. Tivo que cantar salmos nas igrexas para sobrevivir, non lle foi ben e en 1923 xa estaba de regreso en Espa\u00f1a. Ese ano fixo unha xira por Galicia ?recollida por xornais como O D\u00eda, Galicia e outros- pero o empresario enganouno e non recibiu un c\u00e9ntimo. \u00c1 s\u00faa dif\u00edcil situaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica uniuse unha incipiente cegueira que lle obrigou a abandonar os escenarios.
 
E a\u00ed comezou unha imparable costa abaixo. Houbo de mendigar e cantar polas r\u00faas, entre prohibici\u00f3ns e dificultades, para subsistir. Nos anos 40, formou parte do grupo dos primeiros cegos que vend\u00edan cup\u00f3ns de loter\u00eda e nos 50 marchou coa s\u00faa muller \u00e1 Arxentina. Dix\u00e9ronlle que a s\u00faa voz era unha garant\u00eda de \u00e9xito nun pa\u00eds do que Per\u00f3n dic\u00eda que non pod\u00eda cami\u00f1ar polos sotos do Banco da Naci\u00f3n de tanto ouro como gardaba. Ti\u00f1a 60 anos e a\u00ednda so\u00f1aba con triunfar…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
