Hi guys, a bunch of people have been emailing me questions about Entri's school in Madrid. I don't have that much time now, but I'll give some quick answers. How much does it cost? - They seem to charge different things for different people, depending on how many classes they sign up for. I paid 200 euros a month, and I took two hours of class a day, six days a week. These were group classes lead by El Entri, with between 3-10 other students per class. Also, there was an hour or two of private classes with Entri included in this per week. All of the other students paid less and took less hours. Why is it so cheap? - They are trying to get the school of the ground, and they are not very good with money. They should be charging a lot more. Does Jesus de Rosario teach there? - He's not there on a daily basis, but he stops by pretty often, especially when they have juergas. He's a rather reserved individual. - What's going on with El Viejin? He's on the dl these days. I think he has some personal **** going on that I'm really not in a position to speculate about. He does give private classes, I don't know how much he charges, but if you asked around the school you could get in contact with him. - What about el culto? It's not that big a deal. It's just a church. I've been there. Entri takes it very seriously, but he is the center of the Madrid flamenco universe, so if there is some ban on the flamenco life there, I don't see how it is being enforced. The time I went there there was a band, and they played loud rock music, almost punk. The preacher danced around and shouted into the mic and it was like a party. Think southern baptist - How am I involved in all of this? I moved to Madrid in 2005 and in 2006 I started studying with El Entri. Within in a short period it became my whole life. Time passed and soon I was playing 40 hours a week. For years I was probably Entri's most dedicated student. I didn't really do anything else. Recently I have dedicated myself to composing and playing my own music, which you can find at www.myspace.com/evancary Ok, guitar time. -E
