Sabicas appreciation with Pepe and C...

El Payo Humberto is a Dutch guy who spent many years in Spain, studying first with Niño Ricardo, then Pepe Habichuela. He has a lot of instructional videos on YouTube already, but recently he's been uploading a lot of stuff that he took in Spain.
You can find them all here:

My favourite so far is this one - driving with Pepe and Carlos and listening to Sabicas, pretty funny:

There are also interviews with these guys if you want to practise your Andalú...

Obviously appreciating compas is more important than having your hands on the wheel.

My dance teacher has a story about being drilled in bulerias compas by a guitarist while he was driving - he steered with his knees so he could do palmas!

I believe he now moved to northern part of America. He also wrote a book about Nino Ricardo.
If you want more info, see: http://www.flamencosinmas.com/

It's in English, Spanish and Dutch.

I really liked the video explaining the Compas with the football mentality, which I've seem to be missing, when he's blowing the horn.

Great character anyway, he shows dedication in a fun way.

Yes, and it's important to point at your favourite bits to make sure nobody misses them!

I agree...he's serious about the art, but he doesn't take himself seriously. And he likes to help people.
