nuevo flamenco means new flamenco right? I allways think of Tomatito and Paco and Camaron, because it is not the old style. Then I think of ottmar etc as fake, and they actually do hurt flamenco.. I was invited to play at a small dinner party thing, because I said I play flamenco, and classical.. well the guests were expecting quite something else, one of them mentioned that tv sales guy who plays so bad I cant even believe anyone would listen to him, and said that I should look him up to learn some real "spanish flamenco like malaguenas" and also started talking about that movie you post pictures of... and even mexico, I learned that apparently mariachi musicians play flamenco, enlightening. And I say also, Jason is incredible, and douchebags is an appropriate word when they do this to flamenco, my sweet art

It may depend on why the fakemenco is fake ..beacuse he prefers it,? or because he doesnt know any better ?, maybe if you sensed an interest in different types of flamenco etc from him, then give him a listen to different palos, styles old and new and some of them may catch his attention and start him on a new path, he may even thank you for it one day , or you may get a new guitar pupil to teach,.. I wouldnt put him down for what he does, you may come off as a bit arrogant or snobbish from his point of view . someone buys a guitar it's up to them what they want to play on it. and if they like a certain style of music , of just make stuff up ( that may sound awful) thats OK , its up to them , I wouldn't put them down for it , if he wanted to learn something from you and you had the time , teach him a bit , if not let him get on with it and he may stumble across something else in some other place. The one thing no-one mentioned is that if he really wants to learn a bit and have some flamenco friends to ask questions to , then tell him to join ... http://www.foroflamenco.com

quote:
Respect is what is necessary and its what the fakers lack the most. Ignorance is not a good enough excuse for me. Perhaps. I have no problem with calling someone out who is performing fake flamenco, or anything else for that matter. But call him out on the subject at hand. My objection is to namecalling and tossing out epithets, as some on the Foro seem to think acceptable with their embrace of the term "douchebag" to describe those they don't like. If respect is necessary, and I agree that it is, we should show a little ourselves, even to those whom we deem unacceptable practitioners of certain arts, music, etc. Criticize the poor or fraudulent performance without stooping to the level of juvenile, high school epithets hurled at the performer. Cheers, Bill
