ORIGINAL: gato To say, 'this is flamenco and that is not,' would seem to be limiting the overall experiance to a particular following or way. Hi Gary, If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck etc more than likely it's a duck. But hey maybe that limits the ducks experience, maybe it wants to be called a cow. Now then what do we call the cow? [:D] Seriously though it's not just me, most flamencos I know say the same thing, it is or it isn't flamenco. There's nothing limiting about that. It doesn't stop flamenco influenced music or flamenco fusion from existing or being appreciated. Jose Merce for example sings flamenco, he also does spanish pop, no-one in Spain is confused by this. If you go to a flamenco concert the venue will be smaller the audience older and shout ' Olé '. If it's a pop thing (apparantly) the venue is usually bigger, the audience younger and they tend to scream. Oh and the music is different as well [;)] Kate
