@Rui: when i tried to compose something for a while, i started to understand how hard and frustrating it can be sometimes to even compose a single falseta with which you are finally happy. Either i realised that the falseta is totally similar to something i already heard from someone else, or the falseta simply sounded like crap at the end. I basically gave it up and thought its better to invest my time in learning other peoples falsetas instead of this.
So, i wouldn't be so hard with my judging and say that its all "entertainment" nowadays. I mentioned this several times and probably many will disagree, but many many compositional possibilities are already covered in the past by the maestros and it is REALLY hard to come up with what you described as "you move around the pieces of the puzzle just the right amount without alienating everyone, you'll be an innovator". I think this is specially the case with flamenco because its so easy to leave the path and alienate both the the audience and the music itself, because you can't play around with some rythmical rules, etc. too much. Now maybe someone will come up with even a new palo? maybe that could be something interesting, but i can't think of anything myself :)
@Jof, now try something.
Revisit the first CD of Antonio and hear it again.
At least in my case, the first time i heard Antonios first CD, i was also like "there is too much going on here in some pieces", but funnily after a while it sounded more and more "familiar" and nicer than before. Check out the Rondena man, a masterpiece.
