Today we take a look at Flamenco, its pure and fusion forms, and its roots in African and Romani communities.

 

Show notes:  

1. Lachto Drom, which is the only film you ever need to watch, is on Youtube.  In second place is a nice BBC doc, also online, called ‘Flamenco Gypsy Soul‘. I also drew a lot from the writing of Jan Fairley, who I only just discovered recently but am blown away by the depth of her knowledge. Her posthumous blog can be found here.
