Spotlight On: Pancho Corujo

Interview

Pancho Corujo is late for our interview, partly because he’s been stopped a few times on the way. Arrecife locals recognise the young tenor from TV and his popular Facebook page, where he often posts funny videos, and they want a chat and maybe a selfie. His popularity is no mystery – he’s an open, friendly character with a touch of that swagger that every good tenor needs.
