Hi, I'm sure some of you are familiar with my flamenco: a personal journey videos on youtube. I have started a new series from my archives called FLAMENCO BOHEMIO. Here are the 1st 6 posts. I will add more periodically as I unearth them:
Good to see you post here, Tao. I first made your acquaintance through your CD I bought blindly at Virgin. Fine work, absolutely commendable for the purity and authenticity that you pursued in your recordings. Dave Tate at GSI tells me you are the source and inspiration for his flamenco passion, while Jim Opfer, who posts here, recommended a link to your flamenco: a personal journey, a video I also enjoyed. These additional cuts are pretty interesting. It seems that in your images, as you do in your sound, you seek the unvarnished reality of the matter you describe. In doing so both your CD and Video lack entertaining embellishments, and are both tedious at times. It is the price of your journalistic diary-like approach. Personally, I have your CD on my ipod and had watched your Video a few times. Not something I would gleefully invite friends to listen or watch, however, ‘less they were into flamenco.
I really liked your "flamenco personal journey" series and watched them 2 times. First of all thanks for that! and welcome to the foro. Lets have a look on the new videos.....
Count me as another of those thanking you for this valuable contribution. I thoroughly enjoy these "documentary" videos and welcome! Put your tray in the upright position and turn off all electronic devices.
RE: New flamenco videos (in reply to jaggedsphere)

Seems that this latest YT clip is from this doc: Being in the World
That documentary was supposed to come out a while ago. I'm afraid it might not ever see the light of day. That sucks if, like me, you're interested in both flamenco and Heidegger. As you might expect, there aren't many documentaries touching on both of those themes.
