This is something we don't want to read on a flamenco forum. Again, without those Barbarians flamenco wouldn't have existed. Trump could have said it about Mexicans if he had a wall and were still a president. "We don't want to read on a flamenco forum," Devilhand? You are referring to my previous comment in which I stated, "My fear is flamenco as we have known it will eventually disappear for all practical purposes (save for a small niche) and be absorbed into the miasma of "World Music," and we will be the poorer for it. The barbarians are at the gates and I fear there is no holding them back." What Barbarians was flamenco dependent upon for its existence? And what on earth do Trump, Mexicans, and the wall have to do with my comment? It appears that you have completely misunderstood my comment and reached your own conclusion. One may agree or disagree with my comment, but I think anyone capable of reading comprehension would know that by "Barbarians" I meant those who would facilitate the absorption of flamenco into so-called "World Music" as I understand it, i.e., a fusion or mix of non-Western with Western pop, rock, etc. Again, one may agree or disagree with my view of "World Music" and whether or not flamenco is likely to be absorbed by it, but I cannot see how anyone would suggest that I was speaking of some nexus between Barbarians and flamenco, much less about Trump, Mexicans, and the wall. What next, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Q-anon? 9/11 was an inside job? The school shootings were a false-flag operation? Bill
