Is Real Flamenco disappearing?

This is an interesting article that brings up several great points about Flamenco today... It talks about the transition of real performers from tablaos to festivals and concerts and how what is now being performed in tablaos is not really the real thing...

The point about how newer flamenco guitar players are like "athletes" playing with great technique, using tons of notes and playing super fast but with no feeling I think is very true...
