[Estela Flamenca] The surprising José Luis Postigo

[Estela Flamenca] Opening of centennial program of Peña La Perla de Cádiz with María Vargas

To honor the person and artist as deserved, the venerable Peña La Perla de Cádiz has prepared an excellent program of fifteen performances of singing, dancing, and guitar that runs until early September, filling the "little cup of silver" as the city is known with even more silver than usual.

[Estela Flamenca] What ever became of fusion?

Is it the same kind of pleasure you have listening to Fernanda or Luis el Zambo or Chocolate? Flamenco is alive and well and living in pockets of intensely cultivated tradition.

[Estela Flamenca] Pepe Priego, in remembrance

Pepe and his brother were major players in the history of flamenco by virtue of their intense collaboration with Bambino, a frivolous nickname for a great artist.

[Estela Flamenca] Tangos a la Carte

Tangos, in binary compás, often get scant attention, and subtle bad press seems to suggest they are not worthy of as much study as other forms.

[Estela Flamenca] El Gineto de Cádiz: memories of a time, a place, a feeling

Like everyone else, I fell in love with El Gineto, widely known in Cádiz at the time, but nearly unknown elsewhere. I resolved to interview him someday, a meeting that did not take place until the summer of 2007 at Gineto’s home.

[Estela Flamenca] Mariano Parra, American maestro of flamenco and Spanish dance, has died at 91

A respected authority in all genres of Spanish dance, Mariano consulted and choreographed for several major New York-based companies, such as Gabriela Granados’ American Bolero Dance Company and Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana. His vast knowledge of flamenco and Spanish dance will be greatly missed.

[Estela flamenca] Memories of Good Friday in Utrera

A beautiful flamenco delirium. And amidst all this, the distant sound of the marching band with its neo-Roman repertoire and drums, a scene worthy of Fellini.

Grandpa and La Alameda de Hércules

Nowhere in the world there has been such a concentration of flamenco artists as at La Alameda de Hércules from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s.

«Nowhere in the world there has been such a concentration of flamenco artists as at La Alameda de Hércules from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s. Nowhere. There were whole tenements (“casas de vecinos”) where only flamenco artists lived, such as the number 8. Every flamenco artist, from the very origins of this art, has lived or visited this place. The quality of singing at La Alameda was unlike anywhere else in the world. It was the best school of cante in history, and also of baile and guitar, of course».

Nowhere in the world there has been such a concentration of flamenco artists as at La Alameda de Hércules from the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s.

Bulla, burlería… ¡Bulerías!

Of the immense variety of flamenco singing styles, it’s clear that the absolute and unconditional winner in terms of popularity, variety, versatility, and volume of recordings is bulerías.

[Bordonazo] Grandpa and his contradictions

True aficionados enjoy anyone who sings well, regardless if they’re Gypsy or not, regardless if they’re from Seville, Cadiz, Malaga, Barcelona or wherever. That’s what I think. Chacón loved Silverio’s cante, but he was also crazy for Manuel Torres, and they probably had quite different styles of singing.

[Estela Flamenca] What is ‘duende’? Does it even exist?

When the duende is upon you, it’s a private personal state, not some all-enveloping cloud that resets the human psyche in any specific way. The greatest moments of personal enlightenment may go unnoticed by anyone other than oneself.
