Flamenco at its base is cante. Keep that alive, and flamenco, by definition, will live.

All the experimentation out there, good or bad, brings attention to flamenco, which attracts new flamencos. Of these new recruits, some will develop a taste for a more pure, gypsy style and will pass it on. These are usually the ones who recognize cante as the heart of flamenco, the ones who learn or at least familiarize themselves with cante, and who keep it alive. Guitar and baile entice the masses, and they create a new fan base for cante over time.

I'd be surprised if this cycle ever stopped. I'm doing all I can to keep it going!
