Jazz for aficionados
Somebody mention Andalusia and Flamenco? Big Flamenco fan here. I actually can’t say what I would like more, to play it or to dance on it, that long till I feel the taste of sweat coming down my face with my wet clothes sticking to my body and my heart rate increased. To play or to dance for hours. Quite different feeling than with my love for Jazz. Flamenco captures, Jazz liberates. Both needed, wild and calm waters. La Rumba is absolutely fantastic. |
Mary_jo, since childhood I have been captivated by Flamenco and Gypsy music in the movies; I find the thought of you in a tight Flamenco dress dancing until you feel the taste of sweat coming down your face and wet clothes sticking to your body quite scintillating; this picture causes my heart rate to increase. |
Rok, I've spent most of my life in our major cities, but never been to Harlem. Harlem has often been pictured as the ultimate personification of Africana America, and I'm sure it was, once upon a time. The arts, a combination of gospel and jazz probably made this so; Harlem blues is a combination of Gospel and Jazz. Phineas was born in Tennessee (the south) and it's apparent he was influenced by Southern Gospel (it's impossible not to be influenced when you have heard it live, like he did, many times) From 1956, when he was a young man, he began to perform in Harlem, and these two influences are reflected in his music. I thank you for a marvelous contribution. |
Orpheus10, that was New Age flamenco, this is the authentic one. No one can dance like Cristina Hoyos, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTVqfCPq_CE&list=FLHAEL8Iwz684WaGFx1rQchA&index=121&ab_c... |
