If people then choose to define it in another way, fine, but then they might get a clue about why they arent taken seriously by flamencos in spain if they bring their definition in that environment. only an arrgent idiot would go over there thinking that their defintion is the only one. I dont think u get my point sonikete. Yourve been playing a lot longer than me and know a lot more about flamenco than me. O.k im not trying to take away anything from what u r saying. What i am saying is people doing flamenco not in spain arnt going to always have the same environment, opportunities, priorities, goals, influences, culture, language, beer, food, weather etc, than people who are in spain. This does not mean one cant learn an artform from that country they just have to keep in mind 'im doing flamenco in america or england or outer somalia' or where ever they are and make the most of what they have. The fact is they are not a spaniard playing flamenco in spain, they are an american in america english in england a somali in somalia. I dunno, is my point making any sense at all? Why try and pretend your in spain because your only gonna be dissapointed your not there. Make the most of what u do have, and yes if u can play for singers or even better try and go to spain but dont make it the be all and end all if its not practical.
