Flamenco harp (Ana Crismán)

I know, I know... "Flamenco harp" sounds like yet another of these New Age flamenco fusions they call "flamenco" just to make it seem more artsy... But this girl is 100% flamenca (jerezana), and reportedly the only person in the world who plays flamenco harp...

A few samples:

Stunning!

Suppose that´s what familiarity / inspiration and the generally helpful grain of being uninhibited while skilful, can do.
I take my hat off to her.

Creating Jerez sound out of harp. Wow!
She said I didn't do this seeking a specific result. I just wanted to do it.
She loves flamenco. I wish her good luck.

Just found out I pronounced some of the palo names wrong especially Cartageneras. Tarantos and Tarantas are tricky. T sounds like a mixture between T and D.
Anyway, for those who want to hear the correct pronunciation of well known palos, at 13:25-13:45.
