good work! thanks for sharing.
your mom actually looks very flamenco to me, with the polka dots and all. there's someone that she reminds me of, but i cant pinpoint it. she looks like she could be a singer or dancer.

I remember that video !! i saw it a long time ago, thanks for refinding it.. i love those technicolour 60's or 70 flamenco they looked like those postcards ..
there was something really glamorous about that era in flamenco
la tati was sexy i love the face expressions and the flicking of her hair
while we at it theres another oldie i been trying to locate..
its Pata negra i think in the 70/s or 80s some guys dancing bulerias to electric disco like buleria..its hillarious..

very disco...seen it ?
i havent seen it but if you find it, do post it! i think it's so funny seeing flamenco from that era with guys like paco wearing bell bottom jeans and handkerchiefs around their neck. both very girly things by today's standards. lol.

I was once going a bit wild on the dance floor and when I came to sit down a man said, "That was amazing, I bet you were really hot when you were younger." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry
But I think what he didn't realise is that with age I think you get a certain freedom. There's less to prove.
