ORIGINAL: Ricardo So a student that has hardly an idea about solea because they just started learning the form and more than likely has a limited collection of recordings as references wakes up one morning and bam, they suddenly exhibit "advanced creativity" because they made up something "new"? I once was invited to have a chat with someone who had sold a flamenco show to various theaters and now was looking for people to help him to create/perform that show. Most of the intended members of the company had no or little experience with flamenco. They expected me to compose half of the show. But no worries, if i delivered a chord schedule for tientos/tangos other members (with i think a jazz background) would make the melodies. When others agreed to make a 20 minute seguiriyas (without knowing the compas nor the palo) i packed my guitar and left, declining that incredible financial offer of receiving an astonishing 100,- per show... well, thats to say 100,- in pre-euro guldens, meaning less than 50,- euro a show :-) The show premiered 3 mounds later without my support and actually wasn't that bad as i expected it to be (they seemed to have hired some experienced players after all).
