Nuestro Flamenco El Lebrijano - Macanita 

http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/nuestro-flamenco/nuestro-flamenco-180816/3696780/


Another tribute, another one slips away.

Macanita- http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/nuestro-flamenco/nuestro-flamenco-160816/3694878/


The host gently wades into the subject of tribute. However, before that, he as usual has to show off.

This week he picked some random guy, I don't know where you find these guys, I guess they are everywhere. He picked some Rey guy, Tony, Anthony, something like that. Another guy with small hands that's all I know folks. And you know, there is nothing you and do about this today, I'm telling you. Well maybe you Sabicas people can do something about it, you tell me, I don't know.

All I know is there are these guys that do this strumming and combine it with some kind of picking with the thumb, they put this together and call it music, and sure it's music. Believe me, I have heard music before and no one knows more about music than I do. I'm the only person you can trust when it comes to judging music. No body can do this better than me. I have binders full of female recording artists, I know about this too, more than you can imagine. My information is good, I have a good brain for music.

The media gives attention to these Reys and Tony's, let them, but believe me we can change this. We have to. I did listen to this recording with an open mind, I did listen. It was difficult, but I stuck it out. My ears are mad at me, but my good brain told me to let my ears feel hurt so they understand suffering, important to understand suffering. Believe me I know. This young fellow has good intentions and he played a Gran eye eena, a thing they play. And he did a good job, and that's ok. He is probably the best at Gran eye eena today, outside of yours truly. But folks listen, I want to make toque great again, and I alone know how to do this. My toque is huge.

So when they come for your guitars, and they will, there is nothing you can do about it. Nada, zip, no chance Jose. But that is ok, let them do that and play these Graneye eenas with contemporary flourishes, let them come, we'll erect a giant guitar case and house them there. And they will give guitar lessons on Skype to pay for it.

I alone have huge toque and the Reys are kings too, but my toque is greater, Believe me on this, I know.

So listen to the podcast with an open mind and you will hear the truth.

Toque "Shmoque." the game is rigged. It is filled with crooked manipulators who have rigged it so that only they can define the outcome. But you, sir, have come along to expose the entire crooked enterprise. There are facts, and then there are "facts." Take the value of Pi, for example. For centuries crooked mathematicians have led us to believe the value of Pi is 3.14 in determining the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. There is no reason on earth why the value of Pi cannot be 3. Just a simple 3! It makes determining the ratio much easier.

Flamenco "Shamenco" "Scamenco"! A small community of crooked so-called musicians imposing an alien music on our great country. You will change that in no time at all. Not only will America be great again, its music will be the greatest, unsullied by alien sounds masquerading as music. Speaking of which, what ever happened with "Scamenco Gypsy," that ever-so cute couple enjoying their sojourn in Spain while requesting it be financed with "Kickstarter" funding from Foro members? I recall they offered cante lessons to those who contributed a certain amount. Two or three people expressed interest. Were the lessons ever offered? Were they worth the contribution? Or was this one more example of a rigged "scamenco" game?

Those with small hands can take up the ukulele.

There was a flamenco named Trump

Who played his guitar on the stump

Though he knew not one palo

His scamenco so shallow

Revealed him to be one more chump

What does Nuestro Flamenco mean? I'll tell you what it means, it means "Our Flamenco" that is what I understand. I don't actually speak Spanish, because then I would be a Mexican and I would have to sequester myself behind my own wall, which is difficult.

There is guy who writes this show, his name I believe, is Jose Maria Velasquez -Gaztelu. Right there folks something is wrong, his mom was very confused when she named him, I guess in English the language you and I speak Jose Maria would mean Joe -Mary. His mom was a very confused person, maybe she was delusional, I could not yell you. But I can tell you this, Our Flamenco is a show on international radio and it intends in a very nefarious way to block our American music off the airwaves.

It's nefarious people, look at the situation. Joe Mary's last-last name, because he has a Mexican last name and a funny last name , is Gaztelu. Wow Gaztelu, that must be a typo. But no wait not a typo, that is Joe Mary's real name and it's nefarious as his radio show, which aims to form a bandwidth caliphate over all American music.

Gaztelu is either, listen carefully folks, either a name from up North of Madrid or a Catalan name, or possibly Kenyan. So right there you should know a confused mother and a son from the Mexican region of Spain, plus a possible Kenyan. This is getting serious folks and I propose a Trans-Atlantic wall right on top of the of the Mid Oceanic ridge extending up into space with radio dampening. A wall from Greenland to the Falklands and up to the moon. That alone will stop this music invasion.

These walls will keep out both Russian submarines and flamenco. But maybe we'll let Russian submarines in, you tell me. One last thing, flamenco was really stolen from the Soviet Union by the Falange party, the media will never tell you that, but this is a fact.
Viva Moscow.

That's one hell of an approximation Bill. I'll bake a square pie in you honnor next February the 71 ('cause pie are squared).

A Spanish dancer that lives out here did a little show for his 5 year old sons school. After the show he said to the kids "Can anyone tell me where flamenco is from?" His son raised his hand and said "Mexico daddy!"

Among Mr. Trump's many initiatives to make America "great again," is his notion to create an American mathematics. It's simple folks. Why make the value of Pi "3.14," when it can be "3." And it can be if Mr. Trump wills it. And besides, "3" is the ratio of Mr. Trump's brainpower to that of your average orangutan. Why can't it be the ratio of a circle's circumference to it's diameter? It is with such thoughtful questions that Mr. Trump plans to propel America into the 21st century's cutting edge of science and technology.

It's usually unwise to comment on the internal politics of another country but in this case we share something - living in an era of what is now defined as "post-truth politics".

It just occurred to me that I have insulted orangutans. My apologies to all orangutans, average and otherwise.

Just last week Jane Goodall noted primatologist compared Trump's socialization skills in terms of Chimpanzee social order hierarchy. She noted how dominant male chimps rise to the rank of being group leaders by shaming and arguing with other ascendant males. Her evaluation of Trump ranked him as a good prospective male chimp to achieve a high place in chimp society because he exhibits the character and qualities that most often are found in dominant male chimps. Main strength being trickery in appearing smarter than the group by the use of props and excessive noise making. She recalled one male chimp who kept a dominant role for quite some time by kicking a tin bucket down the road and waving branches like a mad chimp.

She summed it up by saying these are not qualities one should want in an American president, but that Donald would be a great leader of chimps. She did not hesitate to leave the comparison as is; she did not apologize to chimpanzees any more than she would apologize to Chimpantrumpies.
