Good video, Val,,,,even if it is from Torremolinos! One thing I loved about living in Spain was the way that the Spanish folk who were interested in this stuff absolutely threw themselves into it without a care. The diff I see in the foreign "emulations" is that everybody is so PC and very careful to try to appear or sound "muy jondo" and cool. (Sometimes like a caracterture of the actual thing.) Some of those Spanish folk wern't actually that good technically, but had an endearing and "loose" way of doing it that absolutely sold it to you. Anybody know what I mean here? cheers, no i dont ...its a double standard comment you couldnt make to anyone else other then people you know for sure are from outside spain, u have the confidence of knowing it cant be argued with, so you are right even if you arent...if the same individual was spanish trying too hard ...he would just be spanish doing what they do..but because you know hes not spanish..."hes over the top " ever wanna win an eazy argument...mention "outsiders" and u won before anyone even looked at any details the PC...comes from something...outsiders didnt invented, there was something there thay emulated to begin with if they didnt you would say its not paying attention to tradition if they do its over the top emulators, ..theres no way of wining really ..thats double standards ...what i notice is that its always other outsiders who arent spanish themselfs that create all the double standards to begin with.. on the one tread you say, thats flamencoish, its not really paying any attention to tradition , not the "real thing" and on the next you might say...its over the top trying to be PC . sometimes spanish are "caracterture" of the real thing.... i have seen enough spanish over the top trying too hard too ( any face expresion sara baras ever pulls is over the top and try hard jondo..shes got greate feet and is pretty but is just not grounded enough or heavy enough on her feet to pull off the real thing IMO..but thats just how i see it, other might see her diferrently)...so i know enough to know its more a question of personality and taste other then where u from..
