King david worshipped god by dancing, king solomon by song, and jesus went to many feasts for marriages and baptisms where music song and drink were prevalent. the angels sing, the chorus of trumpets. the bible is full of reference to mirth and music and life, and i think jesus would not hold it against me if i play guitar, or dance, or sing. to sing to god or to the worship of god is a very profound and personal thing, the saeta is a siguiriyas palo dedicated to the expiration of christ on the cross, the letras are very profound. i was moved to tears once when i saw la paquera sing it in a video, and i have listened to many profound a moving pieces but the way she sang it cut me to the core. flamenco itself has so many references to mary the mother of jesus, to jesus, and god. its hard to believe something so beautiful born of man who was made in gods image could be sinful.
