which Rosalia is this? I am curious at this point

As to her competence as a cantaora, here is a Caña, fairly orthodox, just she is weak expressively compared to majority of professionals. Everything negative about her career has to do with taste mainly. People that claim she is a “good” flamenco singer probably don’t really know how to judge a performance such as this one, which is simply “she could get the job done”, the best of her abilities allow.

She shouldn’t be advertised as having anything to do with flamenco, but that’s how the money people in the music business roll. They can be dishonest, and in her case profoundly dishonest. With artists like Ottmar or Kenny G, they are honestly represented as artists who do what they do. You don’t have to like them, but I’d not accuse them of false advertising or claiming to be in a genre they don’t understand.

In particular "artists like Ottmar.... are honestly represented as artists who do what they do. .... I’d not accuse them of false advertising or claiming to be in a genre they don’t understand."

I call the use of the term "Flamenco" here both profoundly dishonest and false advertising.

Ottmar, it say’s Nouveau Flamenco- no lie’s detected. He’s a rumba player and rumba is a sub genre of flamenco. At this point he’s our Carlos Montoya…

Would listen to it? Probably not, but he’s not being untrue about what he does. He probably can’t hold down the guitar chair in a quadro of grown up dancers who are not holding back. But neither could a lot oh guys who play sevillanas in the casetas at Féria and Sevillanas is still part of flamenco.

I saw it on an instagram account called World Flamenco or something like that. I’ll have to look back through my comments history.

Well then maybe this was all for naught. Maybe there’s nothing flamenco about Rosalia and I just was on about nothing.

She should hire some bad ass choreographer to take her dancing skills to the next level. The way she dances is kind of meh.

K-pop artists set the bar high. Blackpink's Lisa is dancing to Rosalia's Malamente. Each and every move is perfectly in sync with the beat.

OMG! Bizzzach-ito is my favorite new Rosalia tune! Thanks. Can't stop replaying it on TikTok now!

Pat Methane: I always liked his James tune. This live version with Michael Brecker. Great early nineties nostalgia.

But Ive never been a huge fan. Always thought he was high on the horse, with his "No one record my live performances. My Improv is only for the time and place in the moment" or, is there another reason Pat?
