 A great interview with Luis Maravilla.
 
 Thank you for posting. Enjoyed reading his stories being around the 19th/20th century greats and the flamenco evolutions at the time. 35 years ago he saw the decline of cante, though still had hope!
 
 "The cante today?  I don’t know.  I don’t know.  Look at Camarón who — well, he’s here (“bueno, esta ahi“).  There are other singers with names, but…  well, remember you’re talking with a 76-year-old man who has lived in other eras, and the present one doesn’t say much to him.  I know there’s Camarón, Enrique Morente, El Lebrijano…  but I hope someone new arrives and remedies the situation, and raises up the art again.  Because the cante can’t die.  You have to renovate and enrich it…"
