quote: BTW all this Gitano stuff has been answered by DNA. We're all from Africa Confuses race (supposedly genetic) with culture (constructed by man). _____________________________ It is interesting to note the number of ethno-historians and ethno-musicologists on this forum who perceive a difference between "Roma" and "Gitano," both of which refer to the same people, Gypsies. Gitano literally means Gypsy in Spanish, while Roma is the more universally used term among anthropologists, referring to all of them, whether in Andalucia, Bulgaria, Romania, or Chile, where I encountered some near Valparaiso. They all have their roots in India, although Westerners first assumed they originated in Egypt (thus "Gypsy"). This thread has over-analyzed the subject (and not always accurately) to the point where it would suck the joy out of any attempt to appreciate and enjoy cante. If you enjoy cante, then enjoy! if not, then don't. No need to write a dissertation on the subject. Cheers, Bill
