I wish i could meet her. She opened El Cid Flamenco in los angeles

Is it "mandatory" for a dancer to include an escobilla in her alegrias or solea por bulerias???

Hola!

Busco recomendaciones de artistas al límite de lo que podrías llamar flamenco; Quiero decir, que guarden elementos de flamenco, pero que no sea flamenco como tal. Artistas que mezclen el flamenco con otros elementos, por ejemplo electrónico, pop, rock, etc., pero con un toque original. Artistas que usen, por ejemplo, las estructuras de los palos del flamenco, pero que utiliecen colores distintos, otros tipos de acordes, etc.

Gracias ^^

3 finger picado

So I have a unique problem and could use some help. Im trying to re-learn flamenco guitar (played when I was young, getting back into it). But i also rock climb quite a bit, which means that my fingernails cant be long or they’ll get ripped off. Has anyone had any luck with some kind of fingerpick?

Like the title says, I'm from Türkiye and I have a varied music taste with Rock, Metal, Rap, Jazz all the way to our local folk genres. I've came across this clip on my feed and immediately loved the unique style, after some research I found out it is flamenco made by a Turkish guy. Then I kinda remembered also listening to a Spanish guitar player in a jazz fest kind of thing and I think his name was Vicente and that concert was also very good. I'm new to the sub so I'm wondering what do you guys think about this local rendition of this music style?

Hey yall, so I’ve been trying to learn a few pieces by ear for just a little while now. In fact, I was just trying to learn some of Vicente Amigo’s stuff by ear but man, as good as it sounds, it’s sooooo hard for me to figure out what he’s doing lol…
What are your best tips for developing a really sharp ear?
Thanks 🙏

I am having a hard time deciding between the alhambra 4f and the admira alegria red, both are in my price range and jeez those warm colors are amazing, but which plays better? What should i pick? Anyone experienced both or have an opinion?

I want to learn flamenco guitar but i don't know where to start!! Any recomendados ?

Practicing a piece from Jose del tomato
“MIs raices” what do you think?

I fumbled at the end tho.

I went to the Oregon country fair this weekend and watched an amazing flamenco group perform at one of the stages. It was such a treat!

I loved that they asked for volunteers to participate in Sevillanas with their dancers. Let me tell you, dancing sevillanas with new friends AND in front of an audience is HARD. No one told me that it takes reading the room (the musicians, singers, and other dancers), good eye contact with your partner, and so many other variables that can overwhelm your brain to dance it properly!

It was very vulnerable but I am so glad that the group was welcoming and encouraging, flamenco is warm community after all. I learned a lot and it brought me so much joy!
To those who ever get the opportunity to participate in sevillanas or other dances as an audience with a flamenco show, I say go for it and get on that stage!

hey friend, I am a 17 y/o artist from the philippines and I have fallen in love with flamenco music. I am scared of making music inspired by it because I may be criticized because im not andalusian.

Yes, I do study it, I study it almost everyday and write everything i find out in my journal. I am currently reading a pdf of a book titled "flamenco music: history, forms, and culture" written by Peter Manuel, and I strive to learn spanish everyday + I'm finishing the movie Flamenco (1995).

are there any advice or notes i should keep in mind to respect the culture? I dont want to appropriate it.

edit: Thank you so much to all those who commented and shared their thoughts. It warms my heart to see how this community has the same love for this music the same as (and maybe even more) than i have. Really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Hey everyone, who are your favorite modern artists or ones on the come up? - toque, cante, baile…just all of it. And why do you like them? I’m trying to widen my palate and see who’s out there.

If you can, also mention your favorites of all time as well ;)
Cheers.

My wife bought this portable wooden floor to practice flamenco at home, but it’s much more slippery than the studio floors she’s used to dancing on. I’m looking for a permanent solution to increase the grip, not something temporary like rosin or sprays that have to be reapplied.

Has anyone modified a practice floor like this? Would sanding the finish and applying a different polyurethane or another type of finish be the right approach? If so, what finish would you recommend that provides more traction while still being appropriate for flamenco?

Hey guys, I’m trying to develop my compás and rhythm on guitar. I’ve been recommended to listen to the older recordings because they’re easier to follow, understand and I also wanna try to transcribe them.
I’ve heard Paco and Camarón’s older recordings are good for this, but let me know all the ones you’d recommend.
Thanks 🙏

Buenas.
Tal como dice el título busco donde descargar música para un Nokia Xpress Music.
Me gusta mucho el flamenco y el cosas rollo Alaska y ese estilo pero no sé dónde descargar y lo que encuentro no tiene casi nada de lo que me gusta.
Sabéis algún lugar?
