Allright, darn it! I confess, some of the stuff I really hate. I even find I don't like listening much to Sabicas, or Ramon Montoya ... Paco Pena does nothing for me, nothing! I even paid good money to see his concert. Little guy with a giant guitar is what I felt. Yeah he plays well, but I felt NOTHING listening to it. I like Chicuelo, I like Gerardo, I like Paco, Moraito, the list goes on ... I like Estrelle Morente, but a lot of Cante .... Just hurts to hear it. Maybe it's because I only understand English (ok American) ... But it is what it is. There's always lot's of "What's your favorite Flamenco Album"? Threads. How about a new thread "Traditional Flamenco That REALLY Sucks"? quote:
wow that's naughty

Fakemenco is threat enough until that guy mixed sevillanas and metal....now the artists have tattoo's, piercings, pump iron, electric guitars and a vacant glazed stare...who's going to take them on?

I dont even know if 'FAkemenco' as you call it exsits , Rumba is a valid palo and they play it , they do very well with it , .. I think saying this is fake and this is not is very pretentious and is merely a point of view , you can call any type of music anything you want , but this doesn't change anything , or any music , I would suspect if given a time machine and you went back to the 20's or before with Paco de lucia stuff , maybe people would say, very good, but it's not flamenco , notice I said "maybe" attitudes change with time , flamenco today is only what it is because of previous mixtures , it' s history is still developing , Bottom line , you get a guitar and you play anything, you want , anything , it's your guitar , your choice , call the music anything you want , remember the people who play it don't call it "'fakemenco ' that seems to be something developed here, I say go ahead develop something , maybe it's good maybe its a waste of time , its up to the individual , I wouldn't be so narrow- minded, stubborn or unpersuedable as to suggest that fakemenco ,as it is know here, is any less valid than any other type of music, Ben woods mixed sevillanas with metal , I really like it , I actually learned most of the first two bits anyway , It's fun and thats another thing music should be , fun to play and enjoyable Flamenco has always been , in Spain, the music of the people , what the people learn , play and pass on to others ,
