What amazes me the most is that he actually got a crowed to watch him play a couple of very basic put toguether bulerias compases taken right of the Graf Martinez flamenco book. Hi Herrero, Sadly, that's fairly common practice in my experience in Folk clubs etc anyway! They would never dream of presenting, say, Classical music full of mistakes like this... but because THEY don't understand what they're playing, they assume the audience doesn't understand it either. (which is nearly always the case). I've seen all sorts of folk appearing on stage (even on the Radio & TV!) with things like Sitars and unusual foreign folk instruments and after giving a rather condescending talk on the history of the instrument and music, proceed to play the most utter rubbish, relying on the unfamiliarity of the sound to carry the "performance". Meanwhile the audience think they are being treated to something special and applaud rapturously. I think the expression is "the blind leading the blind". As you can see from YouTube, there are so many guitarists who have got a complete misunderstanding of Flamenco yet consider themselves very advanced players of the music. If you dare to question their lack of compás or lack of understanding of the form, you are often called a "snob" and are only being pedantic. cheers, Ron
