Below enjoy ten classic flamenco dance clips,
One for (almost) every decade of the 20th century.
You'll see Rosario y Antonio, La Argentinita, José Greco, Vicente Escudero, Sarita Heredia, Lola Flores, Antonio Gades, Laura del Sol, José Antonio, Manuela Vargas, and some very old footage of gitanas from El Sacromote including La Chata la Jampona.
Spanish film director, Carlos Saura, has passed away.
Below watch Pepa Flores sing the following letra accompanied by Paco de Lucía, in his award winning film, Carmen.
(You’ll also see Antonio Gades and Cristina Hoyos dancing.)
Have you heard Manuel De Falla’s Siete Canciones Populares Españoles?
In researching for this post, I discovered that today’s letra came from that piece.
Watch Javier Barón dance to it and Matilde Coral dance bulerías at the end.
