I think the developement of flamenco was over a very long time and it was very organic. Like Evolution.

Fusion is instantly, like Revolution.

Very very well put!

Feels FANTASTIC to be validated!! hahaha

You asked for it Ricardo, I found what she sent me. Have fun!

Pretty much as I thought it would be.... the rhythm and music is working just fine, the lyrics turn it into a comedy.

This fusion works, I think, just about, because everyone involved is top notch. Plenty of rules in evidence:

That guy's pretty funny.
In this video he argues that John Cage's 4′33″ was avant-garde reggaeton.

On his bandcamp page he has a full album of avant-garde reggaeton, including one track that is basically just burping noises over a reggaeton beat. Have to give it to him, I respect that level of commitment to stupid jokes!

yeah the guy is great

He has a great video about "despacito" aka "culos tetas" and "Colors"
here is the link to his avant garde reggaeton album

It would be really funny to see a pro flamenco dancer dancing to sptfff's track "numero 8" or "frítame"
