RE: BBC 4 Documentary Gypsy Soul (in reply to Brendan)

quote:
"I'll be travelling DEEP into the heart of Andalucia..." relying on my trusty native bearers to guide me through the trackless wilderne... oh they have taxis. I wonder if she dons a pith helmet and bush jacket as she performs a Henry Morton Stanley (in search of Dr. David Livingstone) variation: "First Footsteps Deep into the Heart of Andalucia: Being a Description of the Gypsies therein, and a Meditation on Flamenco and Duende"? As you note, Brendan, unfair, but hard to resist. I do hope she has more to say about the origins of flamenco than just its "Gypsy" provenance. It is equally a product of Moorish and Sephardic Jewish influence, in spite of its being associated by most people with Gypsies. I did like the photograph of Paco Pena with his trusty Gerundino. Cheers, Bill
