When we saw Olga Pericet last year the programme listed Antonia Jimenez as one of the guitarists,


Of course I meant Antonia *Jiménez*, although I wrote "Martínez".

Well, I FOR ONE do not think women can be good Flamenco artists. Their boobs get in the way.


Just kidding! *Ducks to avoid flying rotten cabbages and tomatoes hurled at head*

Seriously, that is kind of a funny question, and it really shouldn't be asked. I think the only thing limiting women as guitarists are just the usual sexism/machismo/cultural factors.

If a non spanish man would say: "I think women cant play flamenco-guitar because they are woman. ... " Than its the same like if a spanish person says: Not spanish people cant play flamencoguitar because they are not spanish.. you know its in the blood... and so... crap.



[EDIT: That is just a random comment. Its no reaction on any post which is maybe made here. I didnt read the other answeres, because I have no time. I have to play my new guitar. ]

Like when 60's Black Power activist Stokey Carmichael was asked by a girl...
"What position do you think women should take in the struggle?"
And he answered..
"Horizontal baby....Horizontal"

Funny joke, yeah...but it stems from the same attitude IMO.

cheers,

Ron

How lacking in imagination, I can think of much more entertaining positions.

Yes, they certainly can.

i'm really tired of this garbage.

I met a fifteen year old girl who plays better than any professional I know.

I can't play as well as any of the girls in the youtube vids.

I am arrogant, and obnoxious and irritable. but even I will admit that girls can play flamenco.

this is a crap basket discussion.

I'm amazed at how long we can talk about who can and who can't, and yet almost none of you even bothered to make a comment on the realbook threads.

are you really here for flamenco????
