Flamenco for kids by Ricardo
Years back my wife Sara, flamenco dancer, was into acting and one of her repeat gigs was playing "Maria" in this series for teaching kids Spanish.
During the pandemic they asked us to write a "flamenco song" for the series. So this is what we came up with. They overdubbed our original rough cut vocals (I don't think they liked my andalú accent ). It was available for sale in one of their DVD series for years, and I just noticed it was finally loaded to YouTube. Enjoy my compositional masterpiece

This is the best thing I've witnessed in my quarter of a century in flamenco. I *especially* like that dissonant chord that you added when you say "sonido" - really creative, man! Kudos to you two!

¡Olé Olé Olé!
Oh hell ya, that was priceless Ricardo!
You and your wife should do a whole children’s Flamenco/Spanish language series. I’m not kidding.
