I know there are some Americans of Latin descent who sing flamenco. Patricia Ortega is a singer of Mexican descent in the Chicago area who does it.I'm sure there a number of those around the country

Sometimes I wonder growing up speaking Latin American Spanish is a disadvantage, many end up sounding like mariachi and I think it's because they're saying the words they grew up saying. That Japanese guy I posted is pretty decent and he doesn't speak Spanish, he's just imitating the sounds which I think is key. Anyhow, Brizeyda Zarate out here does a pretty good job IMO, but many years in Jerez helps that.

My local buddies sing pretty well, jose who sings first is from Bolivia, Hector sings second, born in DC, parents from El Salvador.



Also Jose's brother Cesar is pretty much unbeatable in USA for Gipsy Kings covers (we could never get him into flamenco puro unfortunately):

Cool buleria vid Ricardo. Fair play to them.
That guitar(and your playing obviously) sounds great. What is it?
Love that Paquera letra at the end by the way. Well I identify it with her anyway, not sure where it comes from originally
