Thread Name: Flamenco anyone?
Subject: RE: Flamenco anyone?
Living where I do, in Cornwall UK, flamenco is rather elusive. But a good few years ago now we did see flamenco at the Plough in Torrington, a venue not too far away in Devon which puts all sorts of folk music and other cultural things on its programmes. Also, years ago we were able to visit Córdoba in Andalucía, and my sister treated us to an evening of flamenco, the real genuine article, and we absolutely loved it. If you get the opportunity, go and see flamenco. I have a feeling that original genuine flamenco is something that you may need to go to Sevilla to see. One day... Anyway, I love it. There's a superb book by Jason Webster called "Duende: A Journey in Search of Flamenco" which is a great read for anyone who wants to delve more deeply into this art form.
