Attitude is the most important thing. That's what Vicente Amigo said in an interview.

Vicente is assuming a lot. Flamenco is compás, compás y compás. Without it you can have all the technique in the world and loads of attitude but you will never be a flamenco.
Real flamencos learn it from birth or before and take it for granted, so they talk about aire or attitude: they just cannot imagine anyone without compás. With compás and a little bit of technique a musician can pick up aire in weeks. Without it, never.

I think that what Vicente meant in this TV interview was, that without the attitude all the rest means nothing. Tons of tecnique, falsetas and compas, doesn´t help if you don't have the rest. I understand exactly what he means, but it's very difficult to explain. The attitude is the center of the music, the way you do it, the meaning, the soul, what it means to you and the way you look at life in general. All the rest is important, but it's not the center of things, it's the surrounding. I have some old recordings, don't know with whom and when. They are horrible. Guitar and singer sounds like I don't know what, but oooohhh. It's flamenco, no doubt, and this with everything. until the last fiber in one of these dudes. Their attitude is pure flamenco. (and I love it)
But then again, it was Vicente who said it, and I might be interpreting his words wrong  Why don't you just ask him.
