quote:
I dont even ottmar thinks thats offensive himself actually. Hed doesnt call himself a flamenco guitarist, other people do. I don't think you were being offensive, but Dominic is offended by your "other people do", inother words, that outsiders have lower standards for what is flamenco. Not that ottmar is offended. Like, he is offended for your insinuating he might think Ottmar is flamenco. Point being you included YOURSELF in that statement, as an outsider. But I got your point and it was not offensive. Like I said, you were wrong, because there are plenty of outsiders who define flamenco guitar as you do, cante accompaniment primarily, but that won't change or open up the contest to be more fair. Guiri is guiri. Florian pretty much said it, even in Spain you find folks who don't know what flamenco really is. And then further inside the elitist culture of flamenco, you have people with different ideas of the boundries and definitions. 30,000 singers? Come on. But we get his point, but it is HIS point. I think it is clear where we all stand now. Peace, I am out of this one. Ricardo
