Hola For many many years, clothes with polka dots have been commonly used in the gitano community, as everyday wear. Even today, gitano artists often wear such a pañuelo. My friend Juan Silva, who is a non gitano cantaor, once gave me an expensive polka dotted shirt: he said he couldn´t wear it on stage or he would upset the gitanos. Sean

Hola During the years of cante opera, polka dots were adopted by many artists: the cheesey image of Córdoban sombrero and baggy sleeved polka dot shirts is now very dated. They have reverted to being a more subtle dress option mostly for gitano women, at least in Cádiz (it is dangerous to generalize, things could be quite different in Granada or in Extremadura). Sean
