I wonder why nobody found this video to be an insulto to flamenco: baile really is for maricónes? Has anybody ever seen El Guito, Mario Maya, Farruco padre? I know several of these people and me da verguenza. Edu ya no me habla! When flamenco was declared Patrimonio de la Humanidad, this left it in the hands of the politicos and the result you see Well, I thought my responses were clear enough. [:D]. Anyway, the famous Joaquin Cortes many years ago obviously influenced these people, and he is not even maricon as every female member of his company was required to sleep with him before getting in (this I heard from someone seriously considering joining but had to decline[:D]). For sure the shirtless guy, the dude in the dress, and the man-bun in the leather skirt are all either paying direct tribute to Naomi Campbell’s ex boyfriend OR they are ripping him off badly. More likely the later as the tribute thing is quite cheesy. To other folks that don’t know about Joaquin etc, well, for a long time now flamenco dancers have been pushing the envelope of artistic expression on the dance stage with QUESTIONABLE TASTE due to perhaps boredom with the traditional genre? If you watch the first flamenco movie of Saura, Cortes had the arrogance and audacity to dance with no shirt on when his fellow artists were the likes of (as morante mentioned) heavy weights such as Mario Maya and Farruco! Now at a superficial level that was perhaps artisictically bold or whatever in context for Joaquin to do that, plus with his string ensemble, however, it can also be seen as insulting to the ancient art form and it’s greatest artists in history. Note that the OTHER Joaquin, (Grilo), danced with exceptional taste and skill despite being considered “modern” by comparison. Since then many dancers have taken the fact the guy “got away with it” on stage to be a green light to all kind of wacky stuff (Rocio Molina strip tease alegrias, or tossing menstrual blood on stage etc), to the point where the video morante has posted is practically “normalized” and now the music world being forced to swallow lady Gaga esque “Rosalias” and what not as representative of “flamenco”. Once again it is about taste, not about one’s sexual orientation.
