Morante -> RE: Flamenco Piano (real flamenco) (Oct. 19 2013 15:29:00)

Real flamenco is not piano, nor guitar. It is cante and nowadays, more often than not, cante gitano. This is called a Foro Flamenco, anybody can read it and easily form a facile and wrong impression of flamenco. Do we really want to foster pseudoflamenco? Posters who have some knowledge should also have some responsibility. Last night, I had the pleasure to hear Remedios Reyes (hermana de Antonio) accompanied by my favourite tocaor Joselito de Pura (sobrino de Silverio Herídia), in the Peña de Juan Villar. The night was dedicated to Patricia Valdés ( wife of Antonio), so the whole family was present, as was Juan Villar and many of his family. She put the whole Peña de pie. When a gitano or gitana sings to their family is when the word "duende" can be understood. THIS is real flamenco, let us not confuse concepts. por favor.
