Aw, man this movie's so good: Frenchman shaves off the moustache he's worn for years and years to surprise his wife. She doesn't say anything, and neither do his friends or family, at which point he freaks out and yells at 'em "Why haven't you said anything about my moustache!?!" and they're all "What are you talking about? You've never had a moustache!". Gets real weird after that. Check it!

So,IMO the modern flamenco became an art itself and left the shadows of the mines where the flamenco was really true and was performed by people who needed it. And not for making many bucks in theaters like now.. You cant tell me that a Duqende or Potito really sing about their situation. . Im shure it isnt soo bad...
So, why are the traditional guys like Agujetas so arrant to jump on the train of the nowadays image of flamenco. "ART". Making a lot of money and shut the doors in front of as many people as they can (non Spanish people, non gitanos) and tell them. You cant perform "our" art, you are not born with it. .... ? Well, let me tell at this point. For me its not imporatnt who tells me. Hey Doitsujin doesnt perforem true flamenco. Its not important, coz I just like the music and play for fun and not to overcome any problems... ;.)
Does they do that because they want to keep the money making circle of people as small as possible? Or do they honestly think to be grown up within flamenco performing people is the only way to be able to perform true flamenco? In that case it also must be possible for flamenco to develop and become true in other countries with other nationalities than Spain.



Valid questions. Maybe interesting for you to know this:

Poveda was the first to admit that he has not "lived" the stereotypically devious and renegade existence of most gypsies, but he does emote a certain restlessness on stage that is both mysterious and accessible. Flamenco is not a way of life for him; it is a way of performance. This statement is likely to boil the blood of many a flamenco purist , but at least Poveda is not trying to fake the funk.
