David Chu (remember him) sent me The Life and Legend of Carmen Amaya. I have only gotten through about 100 pages of this tome so far, but it's an enjoyable, very detailed read, filled with gossip about diva dancers, the guitarists Ramon Montoya and Sabicas, and the history of flamenco in general. I haven't read too much about flamenco history, but this one really fills in a lot of gaps. I recommend flamenco aficionados to read this; I think it would make sure a lot of us are on the same page about certain types of discussions that sometimes occur here. Flamenco is certainly filled to the brim with personalities... in fact, maybe flamenco IS personality. The flamencos I know, even the American ones, seem quite susceptible to these diva type outbursts and infighting.

Hola My feeling is that the back stabbing concept is more typical of foreigner flamenco. In Andalucia it exists, but is much natural and flamencos stick together. I remember that flamenco life in London was horrible. Sean
