Adam -> Flamenco in Granada (May 29 2007 17:28:11)
|
Hola! So I just arrived today in Granada and now that I'm here, I think it's about time to ask....where's the place to see me some good ol' down-and-dirty flamenco? I see signs all over for restaurants doing flamenco with dinner, and my program is even doing flamenco + tapas on Sunday night, but it all seems like it's probably very touristy, I'm not sure if that's quite authentic (but then again, I just read Totton's "Song of the Outcasts" and EVERYTHING is too touristy for him, so maybe my mind's clouded [:D]). My plan was kinda just to go up to the Sacromonte at night wandering around looking for small peñas, haha but maybe that's not the best idea. Kate, Simon, etc...Granadinos...where to find flamenco? How? Any help would be great :) Also, a quick question on studying guitar...I've been looking around for someone to learn from, and all I've found so far (well, I haven't looked THAT extensively [;)]) is one of the luthiers I visited today (Plaza de Realejo n. 15) offers group lessons twice a week at a very decent price of 60 euros a month (also private lessons but only once a week and 120 euros a month). I'm not too sure about the idea of group lessons but they're max. 5 people and apparently the teacher goes around to each person individually while the others practice. So for those of you with more experience than I in finding guitar teachers - what should I do here? Go with the group, or is it very worth my while to go with the private (less often, more expensive, but more personal attention), or even just to look elsewhere for, say, someone who teaches on his own and not through a store? Confused about this all...thanks!
