Ah, I dunno Jeff... but it's good to see that there are so many Flamenco enthusiasts all round the World.
I mean they could be smokin' dope and partying and listening to Heavy Metal etc...

Know what I mean?
These guys are at least on our side!

cheers,

Ron

Ole!:D Amazing, and I mean it!

They probably got The Message of flamenco more than many who think so for themselves...

Thanks, their videos definitely cheered me up!

i'm sending this to our class/group to tell them this is how it should be done, and if they keep drinking, i mean, practising, they could get this good

For all we know they could be fine arts students at a university. I liked it. The galoshes were a nice touch.

What really makes it work is that, while it is a bit of a spoof, after you watch
it and listen it becomes apparent that there is a bit of talent behind it.

I like the guitar with what appears a price tag still hanging on it as well.

The only thing missing is Grisha sitting in with them :)

These people don't seem like average aficionados--there seems to be more talent and knowledge (perhaps not related specifically to flamenco) behind their joking around.

i thought it was genuine, and they're actually quite good, but they were really, really drunk.... the guy has a conde at home, but they've gone camping and he'e playing a beaten up old junk guitar etc....
