 RE: Enrique Morente criticizes a critic (in reply to Arash)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Arash
too bad i dont understand spanish 
Here is some auto translation:
DANCE FOR MARTIN
I am encouraged and happy to be able to do a critique on the criticism that exists today in flamenco. Not to generalize, and although things have improved dramatically, the level of criticism over the years has been very unfortunate and mediocre.
But today I want to refer particularly to critical Martin Martin Martin. What I say to lively and happy because after carrying this gentleman and a few others for 15 or 20 years trying destruirme, today I see with joy, laughter and regocijos that he and others like him have failed me.
I have checked in this biennial (Malaga in Flemish 2007) continuing its precious literary style ...
Naturally, a critic has the right for freedom of expression (Act I applaud and, as a Democrat, I support), and the obligation to say what they think about a work of art, a show or a performance. What it is not entitled to convert his criticism and his writings in a collision filled with insults, insults, slander, a vocabulary worthy of any person who believes freedom of expression and literature. Do not lift slander, insult to young people who are beginning, when you have to do is encourage them and encourage them, regardless of make criticism, if possible constructive. And if possible, you know that both… tell you what to do and how we have to do.
That should know if he had assimilated something that should be respect and coexistence within the world of culture and art. Because, when it makes a criticism, it seems that you are talking about Iraq, Pakistan, Gescartera or Operation Malaya. Other times gives the impression that you are using the school's style of politics that exists today, the idea is to defame and destroy the contrary to get more votes.
You will not get better because in the world of journalism because you had nothing to do with what is supposed to be a critic of honesty within the freedom of expression. So illiteracy and ignorance accompany their presuntuosidad and his aggressive posture and fascist.
Look at you, talk about art thief is not to call anyone who climbs on stage. In times past complaints were continuous with the little that helped the Flemish and now, if some youths have received a grant of aid to mount an artistic idea, I called you mangones. What stayed?, Are thieves if they ask for help? Or what is the position as you ?.... The artists, but you do not create it, by rising to a scenario, many days and sometimes many months earlier, had suffered many nightmares, have worked countless hours, have many illusions for a critical allow constantly agredirlos and ofenderlos (and always in addition to the same). If you know so much, Mr MMM, why not tell you how you should do, especially young people?
Treat you to understand that flamenco is a music not all of you and your favorite. You can not insult the young and old artists who are not gypsies, not insults you calling them payos. They are more respectful you with the art Gypsy, which also belongs to everyone. Young people will remember you as a racist fascist.
It allows you to defame and accused of mangones (you know very well that in slang Flemish mangón means thief), this is what you have called to most of the artists who have performed in the biennial Malaga. Who do you think is more mangón and more thief: the artist who has been handed over months earlier, morning and afternoon, and has put all he had until that time comes onto the stage, or an individual who is offered through an agency to present himself Flamenco shows and the next day used the newspaper in which he writes, and makes judge and jury, allowed to make criticism of the same show? Do you not understand, Mr. MMM, if you are hired to make presenter, and you leave the stage, from that moment is an interpreter of that show and it is you who should be criticized? See you, for less serious crimes there are people in jail. And the way you do, rather than criticism should be tried in court.
Anyway, Mr MMM, in a few years by law of nature you will have disappeared along with his criticism and his mustache and still live the young people to whom you have defamed, insulted and offended, and they know very well that what has you done with the young Flemish non-aggressive world. Many of them have been destroyed morally. In Naranjito Triana what you ripped. He retired from the profession because of their cute comments ¨ ¨. And even if you do not create it, (because you have the ear where… mustache), Naranjito has been one of the great singers who had Seville. I have tended my hand to them to tell them not to worry, that his position ordinariez can never be sincere with the art of youth. Because all these young people will remember you as a sinister character and laugh at you because, in any case, which is what an artist is going to be reading what you say, what you write and write as you put put.
Their dares have reached the ultimate say on Paco de Lucia, last year, which was nearly finished. What we should have done is to thank him for the enormous work he has done in the world by our gender. Never pay him enough for what he has given us.
¡Aah! Incidentally, I said Paco (Lucia): Enrique, tell Martin to give the sock… (imagine that will be sweating…).
He did not answer any defamation of you accustomed Mr MMMM; by the way, does not seem to you too 'em ¨?...
