Spanish flamenco singer, actor and comedian Chiquito de la Calzada died
in Málaga Spain on November 11, 2017. He was 85. Calzada became very popular in
Spanish TV shows during the mid-nineties due to his unique style, strongly
based on a surreal approach to jokes and language and constant movement while
telling his jokes, putting his hands in his waist as if he was in pain. On October
14th he fell in his home, and was rescued by firemen and hospitalized in Malaga
where he recuperated favorably. On October 31st he returned to the Hospital
Carlos Haya of Málaga, with chest pains and underwent blood tests. Finally his
condition stabilized. On November 10th his health worsened and he was induced
into a coma and was hospitalized at the intensive care unit. There he passed away
on November 11th due to cardiac catheterization. Chiquito’s lone Euro-western
was in 1996 as Condemor in Here Comes Condemor (The Sinner of the Plains).
