(Quote): It was no impression. I was hired specifically to introduce the show was because the organization wanted the audience to understand who Moraíto and Diego Carrasco were, and their importance in flamenco. Clearly, neither one was known in Holland at that time. The three of us travelled together from Jerez, and both Diego and Manuel talked a great deal about how they would be received. (unquote) Maybe because it was their first visit? Still many of us new Moraito from our visits to spain, his records, his video, spanish television and all the posts on youtube. I understand now, you're talking about the flamenco community, only a very small percentage of the audience. Of course at that point there was no one in flamenco who did not know who Moraíto was. When you're on the inside looking out, it's hard to imagine (for example) that "normal" people outside of Spain have never heard of Camarón, and Paco de Lucía is no household word either. quote:
Then can you explain why Farruquito and his family did only generated a reluctant applause for a applause fishing (tourist pleasing) bulerias and a standing ovation for a fabulous seguiriyas ? Should one not expect the opposite reaction from ignorant foreigners? I don't follow. Bulerías is the last thing I'd expect non-flamenco people to appreciate because it's a compás trip. Farruquito dances the same style for siguiriyas, bulerías or anything else, only the musical backdrop changes. But people who get off on compás can appreciate what he does with bulerías.
