Excellent! It goes to show that flamenco is an evolving art and, while maintaining its own personality it keeps renewing.

Nonsense. This is excellent jazz, but by no stretch of the imagination is it flamenco. The whole “modern flamenco” movement is a betrayal of the core elements of flamenco–compas, modality, harmony, instrumentation.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable or interesting; it’s just not flamenco, and it’s certainly not “El Arte”.

No one would’ve had any interest in any of the “core elements” of IT, if it wasn’t for the handful of talented performers who “broke the rules” and developed new ideas and concepts.

The modern flamenco is not a betrayal, it is just bringing something to another level.

And Paco DeLucia & band are doing that at a superior level!!!
