Hi Estela, They weren't the "regulars" but introduced as the "Jovenes of La Buena Gente", and featured at the end of the program as a sort of novelty thing. My Spanish is extremely rusty (not that it was ever that good anyway) but I can catch some fragments here and there. The interviewer was asking them things like "Hey..what are you kids doing singing and playing Flamenco, rather than having a good time outside with your friends?" All in good humour, I must add! As for the Bulerias/Tangos? If you isolated the guitar, then you'd say the guitarist was playing straight Bulerias. However, they were using a cajon and very heavy palmas, which seemed to imply Tangos in places. The singing was "group" singing rather than an individual singer. I don't know anything about the technicalities of the Cante, but I just felt the song had a flavour and atmosphere that kept jumping between Tangos and Bulerias. Not that the song or rhythm was actually jumping, but my perception kept jumping back and forth rather like that optical illusion you get looking at a wire frame box...You know, which way is the box facing. By the way, they were extremely good (sickeningly good LOL!). It's when you see and hear stuff like that from teenagers it makes you see how being born and brought up in Jerez has slight advantages over London or Washington when it comes to learning Flamenco! cheers Ron
