Ja aus der Nähe von Frankfurt. In einem Kuhkaff! Ich weiss nicht warum wir uns nicht gesehen haben! Können wir ja nachholen. Ist ja nur ein Katzensprung wenn man andere Distanzen hier vergleicht Gehst du auf Paco Konzert in Hamburg?

Well John I was about to berate you for drooling over blondie guitarist girl, while eating your wife's well cooked meals, but then I got the second meaning (am a bit slow at German), so it's OK you're off the hook and you can have stars instead.

Nach Hamburg fahre ich nicht, nein. Empfehlenswert ist auf jeden Fall der Buleria-Treff hier in Mainz, falls Du die Chance bekommst, ich bin jedes mal dabei: http://frank-ihle-flamenco.de/bulerias.html Macht richtig Spaß! Ansonsten ist bald bei dir in der Nähe der Flamenco Festival Fino, nicht? Antonio Amador macht da auch einen Workshop. Jedenfalls treffen wir bestimmt bald aufeinander

IMO she plays far better than he does.
Did you notice that when she was playing he was shaking his hands like he was getting impatient? If I'd been her (I wish!) I would have been saying, will you just sit still and listen - it's your turn in a minute.

i guess it's also a matter of taste, but in my humblest opinion, they're not on the same level which probably explains the guy's impatience, which he shouldn't let show...the girls plays fine though, clean enough, but nothing special...
RE: For those who think that weman c... (in reply to Arash)
hi apart from proposing to her 7 times really dont think shes anything special I even recorded a flamenco version of" are you lonesome tonight " slightly off compas admittadly but even that got no response !!
RE: For those who think that weman c... (in reply to Arash)
Very good. She's not the only one. We saw Olga Pericet perform in Madrid last month and one of the two guitarists in her group is Antonia Jiménez. Certainly a competent player, but not Arash's type, I think (bastante hombruna).

Excuse me guys, but I still do think that girls do not play flamenco. Well she has a very clear sound, she plays fast, but too too long tremolo..and when you hear the guy you notice that his music is a lot more accentued...Of course she is pretty but come on, she is a nice classical guitarist playing very polite flamenco..The day I will hear a girl playing guitar with the energy of a Carmen Amaya, ok, I will change my point of view...Do not listen with your eyes!!
