Is this Sevillanas

http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=99cfa58f7ab5de0cd2db6fb9a8902bda

hi i was told that is was a sevillanas joke, invented by paco pena, and that it would be completely unsuited for a dance sevillanas. i didnt ask further why, my heart doesnt hang on this sevillanas that much

, but i am interested to know what the guitarrist could have meant by saying that. i need some "neutral" opinions, so i am asking here, lol.

to me this is THE sevillanas composition that would come first in mind. with or without dance. so i really cant imagine why this is "wrong".

I can get by dancing to it - sort of, then again, it's Saturday night.
For listening to, I like like this

Edit: Removes evidence of stupidity. Wouldn't it be great to have this function available in real life?

The recording is perfect for dance

That's me wrong then. So, the joke's actually in the words that go with it ... Funny - one of our dance guitarists sings a sevillanas about a midget and claims he made it up!

That is a standard meldoy, but it is really slooooooow in this recording. It works fine for dance, just speed it up a bit.
