Not bad! I've actually always been curious about this--why are there so few tocaoras? This is the first time I've ever seen a woman playing flamenco guitar. I haven't seen any bias, but neither have I ever seen a woman show interest in playing.

Sorry but I think she is taking on too much too fast. She needs to get some basic thumb work down first, starting a little simpler. Same goes for her strumming. Sounds more like folk guitar than flamenco.

I saw a female guitarrist yeserday on stage for carlos lerida.Her name was marta robles. She played better than some masculine strummers I saw before. But its so uncool... For me flamencoguitar is 100% masculine... Its strange to watch a female guitarrist in flamenco..
