 Greeting from Bordeaux, France

Hello,
I live in France and play Flamenco for a while.
At first, I studied flamenco alone, then in a peña, but I'm not fond of dance accompaniment.
I love flamenco guitar and how it evolves, mixing with other styles etc.
I came to flamenco with Spanish Caravan from The doors ! Then get my first flamenco album, Solo Quiero Caminar.
And then I began to listen to others Paco de Lucia albums, then Vicente Amigo, Chicuelo, Tomatito, Pedro Sierra. A little bit of Camaron too, but I don't speak spanish.
I'm not new on this forum : I was only reading from time to time since 2009.
But yesterday Mr Grisha Goryachev and I had posts deleted while commenting a Ruben Diaz video where he - again and again, while selling his "revolutionary" guitars - prove how he was good, humble and was the only Voice of Truth and how Mr Grisha Goryachev was not a flamenco player, blah blah blah, said i was a troll and "I mean the clear evidence that he Mr. franciscovega and his guru Mr.Grisha have never played in Spain, what to speak of playing in TV in Spain! " ... sophist as usual.
I didn't knew I had a guru, as Mr Grisha Goryachev didn't knew I was his devoted follower  but that "guru" remember me this forum, and all I can find on it, good players, good falsetas, constructive criticism and so much more.
This was finally positive for me. I was a little bit sleepy at that time, and it wake me up.
I spent a lot of time playing the same things, because I'm a little bit lazy learning new falsetas/palos, and because I wanted my hands technique to reach a certain level.
Now, this level is not that high, but I want to learn to play new falsetas of Solea, Bulerias, Tarantas, Tangos etc. And other palos I don't know.
Sorry for my bad english, I'll try to take lessons !
François.

Bonjour :)
I don't know much about flamenco scene in Bordeaux, as i came to flamenco by listening guitar only (no dance nor singing) and there's a lot af accompaniment in there. Accompaniment is very conservative there imho, and i'don't really like it. But there are several penas in Bordeaux (Academia de flamenca Concha Castillo, Copas y Compas, Leyenda copas y compas, Calle Flamenca, Duende Andaluz and so much more) organising Tablaos once or two a month with good players, dancers and singers. I love compas (hard to approach) and of course copas (not that hard finally) !
"Sud-ouest" (Bordeaux, Mont de Marsan, Bayonne etc.) are not that far from spain, so there are many afficionados in this towns, stages, master class with good teachers as far as i know.
Oh, and all praises to my "guru" Grisha
