RE: Bass in Flamenco (in reply to sbalderrama)

Oh no, sbalderrama, a mariachi and his guitarron! That's all we need is mariachi-flamenco fusion! I will make a full confession here. As much as my family has been tied to Mexico, and as much as I have traveled in Mexico, like things Mexican (especially the food!), and like much of the music of Mexico, I am repelled by Mariachi music. I find Mariachi music loud, noisy, busy, and boring. For me, it is the antithesis of listening enjoyment, best relegated to a a college bar on that faux Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo celebrated in the U.S., and accompanied by scores of college students drinking their Corona beer with the lime stuck in the lip of the bottle, which they think makes the holiday more "authentic." I'm not opening this up for debate or argument. Just stating how it affects me. Cheers, Bill
