"Cante only if you speak spanish and only if you spent some years to get used to it" I'm actually quite new to flamenco, and my Spanish is at tourist level, but I enjoy cante a great deal. My understanding and appreciation of it isn't very sophisticated, though as I continue to listen and learn about it I hope that that understanding will become deeper and more nuanced. And of course innovations and new ideas are great and essential to the continued livelihood of an art form, but do the new ideas have to come at the expense of the old, as a replacement for the other, earlier ideas? Again, there's room enough for both. Anyway, the last time I checked for Rancapino stuff on youtube there really wasn't much of anything, so I was happy to find this new stuff posted, and wanted to pass word on to those who might not have otherwise caught it. Didn't want to dredge up the ol' new versus old argument.
