RE: Ask MORAÍTO... (in reply to zata)

Ask him how he thinks flamenco will evolve now in this era of internet (with all
the flamenco concerts through out the world etc)?
Flamenco will still remain just andalusian art?Is the flamenco world ready
for receiving new fandangos from all over the world?Are people ready
for new forms ...cause probably like guajra ,colombiana...could this globalization thing
bring more ?

Also...asks him what music he likes,flamenco and non flamenco?

Stuff like that ..etc.

Ask why he doesnt have an oficial website (PDL has,tomatito has ,manolo sanlucar has) ?

Oh,and more important ask him ...to come to the foro

That's cool, could you ask him what are the things that inspire him to create, and what is his favorite palo?
And any advice to young guitar players about something he could think useful when he was young as well...

Very funny

This morning I was with him at the bar in Santiago, but Diego Carrasco wanted to go hunting for wild mushrooms and said he needed Moraíto to show him the good spots, so I hope to pin him down for the promised interview sometime next week.

What kinds of singers does he love most nowadays?

Does he think non-gypsies, or even non-Andalucians can understand and most importantly feel flamenco?

I'm not a mushroom person, but there are at least three varieties people hunt for in Spain, mostly these large flat-topped ones. Now is peak season.

The most popular way to eat them (from what I've seen) is to throw them on the grill with a little olive oil and garlic...fantastic!!!

RE: Ask MORAÍTO... (in reply to zata)

I still want a super super personalized autograph...or
Ask for a handwriting like " to foro flamenco and its users",maybe we can put it
somwhere like a sign "Moraito was here"

(like the banner that was some days "happy
new year to all our users")

Ask whatever if he's in a good mood.
Just my dumb ideas.

"ask for an autograph " was a joke , but not only ...I meant it both ways
