Ailsa's flamenco week

Well I just can't compete with the likes of Pimientito, but I'm doing my bit in the own little way Here's what I've seen this week: Paco Pena's new show Flamenco sin Fronteras I hadn't been planning to go to this but Dave was keen so I booked tickets - I actually really enjoyed it. The focus was the ida y vuelta songs, and they had some south American musicians playing traditional music too. The way it was arranged really pointed up the influences, the similarities and differences. It wasn't really a guitar show, it was a show about the music. Anyway, recommended if it's coming your way and you like ida y vuelta. Espana on Fire A monthly flamenco event at Ronnie Scott's bar - show followed by a jam session. In some ways this is more my thing. I like my flamenco up close and personal Guitarist, singer, percussion and dancing the wonderful Jorge Muelas. I just love his style. He does some very contained marcaje which explodes into a frenzy of energy! Fantastic. Played for a new dance class OK not so exciting, but I really enjoyed it. Tangos, Sevillanas and Alegrias paseo and escobilla. I kept it reeeeeeeeeally simple and straight, no falsetas at all, just clean and clear compas. And once you've played straight compas for a while it get's much better, so it was really good practice! OK everyone, what are you up to flamenco-wise? C'mon now, share!!
