Kate -> That's what I call flamenco (Dec. 26 2006 22:05:13)
|
For the last few months we've had two film crews chasing us round Granada wanting me and harold to take part in a film about Taller de Compás, the group of young flamencos we recorded and took to the States and Canada. In the end we met with one crew and talked over what they wanted from us, we also talked it over with the kids who wanted us to do it so despite our initial reluctance we agreed.
We were filmed sitting round our kitchen table being very noisy singing Christmas songs and clapping. We had a large bowl of walnuts on the table and only one nutcracker so the girls were cracking them in the palms of their hands, try it, it's bloody impossible [:@]
Anyway after they finished filming I was talking to the director who was saying that they were trying to capture intimate flamenco moments so I said, oh you must have loved it when the girls stared cracking the nuts, hope you got a close up. The director then admitted that she hadn't. I couldn't believe it, it was a classic flamenco moment.
Cracking walnuts with bare hands, a new definition for 'flamenco puro'
