Echi -> RE: Guitarists not interested in flamenco singing or dancing? (Sep. 21 2016 8:10:59)

Because flamenco is not anymore just "traditional" flamenco. It's like a box plenty of different stuff. Since Paco introduced many jazzy stuff on it and a new technical approach in playing the flamenco guitar, flamenco guitar became very interesting for people who like fusion music. It's my case at least: I was curious about this world and its language. To be honest, I understand very well the point of Lenador and Morante, because after awhile I found the Jazzy flamenco guitar playing a limited language. Better to say, self referential, as many people in the jazz world wouldn't know what is a palo etc. When I get a little bored it's very refreshing to me to get back to a good cantaor or more traditional stuff like Sabicas. Somehow I like a lot flamenco, the flamenco guitars and flamenco guitar making but I don't have fascination for the flamenco world, I'm not a Spaniard etc.
