Anyone going to Jerez festival this ... 
As the title claims, anyone here going??
I'll be there with my lady, as well we have a couple friends going. It'd be great to grab a cruz campo or two with someone from the foro. We managed to land a pretty nice apartment near the theatre.

I want to go to Antonio Rey's workshop but I don't know if I can go. I'll decide in a couple of weeks, I'll let you know if I go.

Keep me posted Fred!
I'm bringing a guitar but I'm not planning completely on taking a lesson, if it comes up and it's easy and convenient sure, otherwise I really just want to see and hear.
I REALLY want to catch Diego Del Morao whatever way possible......

yeh you can tickets online from ticketentradas.es :)
but probably easiest to go via the festival website


I'm not 100% sure about the workshops, as I'm too much of a wuss to try them ;)
but you can book them again via the festival website, I dont know how flexible they are, I see Diego has a facebook page with info (link above from FredGuitarraOle) but I think it was filling up fast last I saw.

good luck!

John

Ah thanks John! So obvious, the festival website! Haha
Yeah I'm a bit of a wuss to take them either, plus I'm on vacation, I kinda don't want to work too hard. Lol
Let me know if you wanna grab a drink sometime with us while you're out there. Can't wait for Antonio!

Well that's exactly the point of the workshop, to meet the guy. Plus he will show you all the cool rasgueos, play any falseta you want slowly, there will be cante accompaniment, etc. It's mostly watching him play right in front of you and listening to him talking about Flamenco and guitar and giving you tips, you won't even play that much.

This workshop is independent from the festival organization by the way. Diego's brother Manuel is the one organizing the workshop, you can try asking him to adjust the price for just one day but you will regret missing out on the other two days.

I really wanna do it but it's gunna be tough to tear away from the lady for 4 hours, technically it's our honeymoon lol
She's nervous about going, she loves flamenco but doesn't speak a word a Spanish and thinks people are going to be racist to her because of a bad experience she had in Paris. I keep trying to tell her "You know how many Japanese people are gunna be there???".
She'll get over it once were there, but until she settles in she's gunna try to be attached to my hip.

Parisians are the worst for that. Even the French can't stand it. Hell, even the Parisians can't stand each other (take it from a French guy who spent 10 years in Paris...ugh. I wasted my 20s in that awful town.)
Jerez isn't like that at all. And if worse comes to worse, the booze in Jerez is a whole lot cheaper than in Paris!
Have fun over there!

A group of black Parisians told her family to go back to China. You'd think people who've dealt with racism would be a little more sympathetic, nevermind they got the country wrong.....Her French cousin who's a priest stepped out and let them have have it and they apologized, still no fun.
I know Jerez and Sevilla won't be like that, she'll settle in after a couple days. From my expierience people are much ruder here in LA than in Andalusia....
Come down and party Piwin!

Ugh. No fun indeed.

Man I'd love to come down. I'm going to be out of the country the first week, but I'll see if I can work something out and show up a few days on week 2. I'll shoot a PM your way if I can make it.

Thanks Lenny I'd be more than happy to grab a drink with you
But if you don't mind I'll skip the Cruz campo, I'd prefer a tinto, or if your in the ganzales byass bodega for a show
I'd be happy to buy you and your new wife a Lepanto

I believe the "Caballero Bonald" performance I mentioned earlier includes the toque of paco cepero in the gonzalez byass bodega

Anyway I hope to bump into you somewhere in Jerez

Haha, yeah, I generally take tinto to cruz campo, but still having trouble with sherry, maybe this trip will change that.
I bought a few tickets and printed the confirmation but noticed I didn't receive an email confirmation, is that the same for you??
Let's talk as we get closer! We're there from the 2nd to the 7th.
Thanks for the heads up on the Caballero Bonald show!
EDIT: Shoot, I just miss that show......

we did get email confirmation, but maybe a day or so later.

we're in jerez from the 25th to the 4th, and then off to alhama de granada for a night before going home. so i guess we may be able to grab that tinto

I do like a little manzanilla with a nice tapas, as long as its hot and sunny, but if you've never tried a brandy de jerez, you definitely should, its not like that French stuff

What about just get videos off youtube and slow them down? Save 250 euros / 2 weeks worth of Jerez wages? You can slow down his falsetas to any speed, and any cool rasgueados, and accompany cante.

I think you're really paying for the experience more than anything, which, I'm not entirely opposed to, $37.50 an hour ain't half bad to learn directly from Diego.
Do I just email the email in the flyer to sign up? I don't have facebook

It surpises me that people are still surpised when people of non-lighter skin colors exhibit racsim. People from ALL ethnic backgrounds, all countries, all walks of life do so. I guess that we've fallen prey to the modern, political narrative that only certain races commit racist acts, and only certain races fall victim to it.

At any rate, Paris has a real problem right now with people of more than one ethnic background singling out people of Asian descent for racist acts and deeds, because jealously of their perceived success there.

I'm not at all surprised really, I grew up the only white kid in Pacoima, I, as a white person have dealt with more racism than nearly any "minority".

Same thing with slavery. The modern narrative focuses almost exclusively on the evils of slavery as practiced by Europeans and Americans. Yet, eight centuries before the first slaves from West Africa were brought to Portugal in the fifteenth century by Portuguese mariners, the Muslim Arabs were taking black slaves from East and Central Africa. Zanzibar, for example, hosted a huge Arab trade in black slaves. And lest we forget, European and American slavers bought slaves from African intermediaries who took slaves in tribal warfare. Black African slave traders established a very lucrative business in selling captured slaves to the European and American slavers. No one's hands are clean in this business.
