Thanks for this video. But what does that have to do with you saying that a dancer wiggling her ass around and flipping up her skirt in front doing Bulerias shows "Duende." Duende? Well then, maybe she could do a strip tease in perfect Bulerias compas and have us all weeping uncontrollably.

Well, what is flamenco dancing different than "wiggling your ass around" and "flipping your skirt"? Ok, one or two steps you have to learn but the rest is just show. Monkey dancing if you want. And we are the monkeys on the guitar. I dont believe in the dignity of flamenco.

Some monkeys do rip their shirts off when experiencing duende. You can do the "Monkey Boy" as performed by Beavis.

If you think flamenco baile is "Monkey Dancing," you are certainly entitled to your opinion, so I will not dispute it, and I will let your statement speak for itself.

Thanks, i had to search it but it was worth it

PC, maybe i was a bit harsh in my choice of words. I should have chosen Baboon or Chimpanzee dancing.

It's a BULERIA. Not about weeping. Bulerias at juergas are often as hot as this one or moreso, and it's a flat-out joy. You need to get out more, dude.

BTW the Agujetas clip was to illustrate 'abandon' as opposed to 'decorum.' Flamenco letras like tearing your shirt, eating the cuffs off it, or cutting your veins so as to bleed to death are not about control and decorum.

Obviously you didn't understand the humor and thrust of my "strip tease" post – but I think others will.

Incidentally, I can't "get out more" – all I can do is sit here weeping uncontrollably over your original statement that Bulerias "full of flat-out joy" shows "duende."
