This is superb (the link to your daughter) and thank you.

I was unable to reach "Flamenco in Canada.htm" so perhaps there is more to the address? The singer and musicians with your daughter were also commendable - I did not immediately see notes about who did what, and where the performance occurred (in Spain, I suspect). A very fine ensemble all together.

I intend to move to B.C. within the next year or two... I've friends who are nearby, and had composed for a friend who taught at Simon Frazer. I believe her daughter is teaching there now (and that's where my stepdaughter also studied dance a bit). I'll be north of Victoria rather than on the Vancouver side.

Best regards

Buenas Dios Carmen - I am indeed very much an outsider. I listen to learn, and have few opportunities to encounter the form in person. I love full-heart singing, and befriended Elena Lopez from Las Canarias (Lazarote) several years ago through Roger Doyle. She sang me a tango in an abandoned granite quarry, where it resonated from the stone! It is still in my memory.

When I am next in Montréal I will take opportunities to find a club, and perhaps sometime will encounter your daughter. There is a small flamenco scene in Minneapolis USA I understand, and perhaps other small pockets of capable performers here and there that I may be able to travel to. Mili Bermejo has offered to teach me privately in the summers, if I can improve upon my Spanish. 8-}
Best regards.

Gracias Carmen - For a long time I have appreciated the intense concentration, skill and investment of soul given to flamenco and cante jando. Federico Garcia Lorca's writing (translated - I have very limited Spanish) on flamenco, duende and the singing of tango has touched me deeply, and informed me as a singer. I will follow you work.

Hello Carmen, Thank you for adding me as a friend. I also love Flamenco and Spanish dance in general. I have taken classes here in Miami with Rosa Mercedes (from Barcelona). These pictures are great. Tambien puedo escribirte en espanol si quieres.

Hi. Thanks for adding me! Did we meet in Madrid? I didn't catch all the names, to be honest. :)

  • Jerusalem Dispossessed | Activestills
    If Jerusalem is to remain the symbol of peace and tole-rance it cannot be a ghetto for anyone or owned by any particular group. In the same year that Israel celebrates 40 years of the so-called “unity” of Jerusalem, the city has been divided by force, discrimination and injustice. In the “holy city” of 2007, it seems that the only god is “security” and real estate. Israeli policy is drawing a twisting path of a wall that more than anything ensures more conflict, suffering and despair. The future of Israel cannot be built by blocking the potential of the other. Any negotiation taking place while facts and borders are aggressively being determined according to one side’s interests, is just an illusion. Without real freedom and respect of the other’s right to live in dignity, there is no basis for political negotiation. October 2007
  • Resisting the Capitalist Production of Space.
    “Ten Days for Oppositional Architecture” takes up the task of exploring possibilities and conditions of a socially committed architectural practice. Therefore the narrow boundaries of the profession have to be left behind. We hence invite activists, geographers, architects, planners, and economists representing different critical approaches to discuss and develop concepts and practices that not only try to oppose and challenge the capitalist mode of production of space, but also try to go beyond it – strategies of de-commodification, re-appropriation and alternative production of space.

We invite all governments, multinationals and institutions urgently to listen to it, understand it and enforce it.

But founding members Jeebesh Bagchi, Monica Narula, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta once jokingly stated, however, that raqs stands for “rarely asked questions.”
