Are you still alivie ?

@@daniellondono3504 he would be 100 now, very much doubt it

RIP Ray Castellon

Absolutely, fantastic!

You took the words out of my mouth.

In Spain we call it "tener duende", a passion, a magic born from the depths of your gut. Very few people have it. Carmen Amaya did it. Check Camaron de la Isla for more "duende".

I just had a really bad day, and it's stupid to feel bad about it, I have a GIANT childhood trauma( dead dad, fcked up family, neurotic step-f, a Lil crazy mama) and today I had to do smth in physical education in my school, I messed up, I thought I'd be the best becuz I am quite athletic, but I did quite many embarrassing things, I acted all girly once and I didn't eat cuz I thought It'll make me vomit.....Ahhh HAD A REALLY REALLY BAD DAY man.. Just wanted to get it out somewhere, it's embarrassing to know you're not the best at smth u really hoped you'd be, All my life I've been looking for validations but I never got any..I'm 16 btw..I did good in Chem

An incredible athlete for sure!

WOW=>

Bullshit, forgive, Did you run out of your meds?

Careful you sound jealous

Sounds like he should go back to the circus

Yes. I'd have dinner with her 2 or 3 times each winter when I moored my yacht off Pointe Focinane and played Chemin de Fer in the casino at Monte Carlo with my good friend Prince Ranier.

Wish the audio was synched better.

She combined the strength of a man and the grace of a ballerina Amazing discipline

I was thinking the same thing, I feel lucky to be alive so I have the privilege of seeing her dance.

And now 110 years since her birth and 60 since her death. This is the first I"ve heard of her. I am grateful that I could see her dance.

​@@tangentyoung5633pp9y

Indeed.

You got that right!

...¡¡ sigues siendo grande Carmen !!.

once you see Carmen nobody else would satisfy I’ve read that she would have been one of the first women to dress and dance the male version of the dance

You won’t

And tap dancing comes from the enslaved Africans that’s why it’s so powerful. There was influence from the Afro- Spaniards that lived in Andalucía :)

All in those ridiculous high-heels. I can't fathom it.

Sauce please ❤ I would very much like to read that!

What's the book?

@@andiwrath2293 it's called the moon sister. It's one of a whole series by Lucinda Riley 🥰

@@ra7e it's called the moon sister. It's one of a whole series by Lucinda Riley 🥰

It's The Moon Sister. Currently reading it, and was currious to learn who was the real dancer behind Lucia's fiction character 🔥

Aren't enchiladas mexican? Flamenco is Spanish.

@@RoyalViking465 , many Mexicans are descendants of Spaniards who colonized the America's among other land's . Many of the colonizers brought their families from Spain and settled on land that was given to them by the Spanish crown directly . Flamenco is Gypsy and gypsies are from India who traveled in caravans throughout the entire world . Many never settled until recent years in many countries. The influence is of the dance is unique to each dance , but the instruments are the same . Castanets , shoes and hands . The lyrics are poems or a meaningful story the bring about the feeling of struggle , sorrow and triumphs . Enchiladas are different in every country , but unique to each region . Everyone claims the dish , but no one really knows where it came from. You should see a Guatemalan enchilada , lol. It looks like a tostada , but not a Mexican one. So , you see no one . Although everyone claims the name , the dish it illegitimate and belongs to none.

Flamenco= Spain Enchiladas = Mexico.

@@daniaa.oliva-pena7338 First of all, flamenco is the result of the mixture of four cultures: Christian, Sephardic, Arab and gypsy. The Gypsies arrived in Spain in the 15th century...so to pretend that flamenco is a dance of all the Gypsies in the world is nonsense. Gypsies are found all over Europe, but, the gypsy music of Hungary has nothing to do with Flamenco, for example. The same can be said of any other European gypsy dance. The conquerors did not bring flamenco to America, at that time, flamenco was in formation. Flamenco. Flamenco was formed in the 19th century. Whether or not the enchiladas are from Mexico, I don't really give a damn, but it definitely has NOTHING TO DO WITH FLAMENCO. What is a reality is that Mexicans believe that, in some way, everything belongs to them... directly or indirectly. Really overwhelming people!

@@MrMORTIS19 When Andalucia was under moorish rule, their music and musical instruments were modified by Christians and Jews, and later by gypsies becoming a hybrid music and seperate from the musical forms that created it.

Do you know in what part of NYC the statue is at?

Mine make all the noise but have no rythm 😕

Kkkkkkkkkkkkk. In my case, both sides. But louder.

🤣🤣🤣

Ha ha ha ha!!!

Lol

Because is tribal!!!!!

I think a womans natural movements are passionate not intended to seduce generally speaking....

Ohhh dear, no one is trying to seduce anyone in particular. Flamenco is pure seduction itself! Is the core of its nature. Please do not feel ofend atacked or seduced unless your name has been spoken to you while at it.

I couldn't agree more, I love your comment.

Although some of the commenters seem to deliberately misunderstand you, I know what you mean. With some dancers it seems to be more about flaunting curves and casting sultry looks than the actual dance. This woman was pure passion and rhythm, which to me is more attractive to watch.

I heard that Fred Astaire was also a big fan.

@@beforeourveryeyes I wouldn't be at all surprised.

@@unseelie63 :)

@@beforeourveryeyes no, Fred Astaire was a Big fan of Carmen MargaRita Cansino who started as flamenco dancer when she was a girl and became a georgeous Holliwood actress. He musted to work with her some scenes dancing and said about her that was the most gifted and disciplinated dancer tha he ever meet : Rita Hayworth !!!

Madre mía como suenan los chasquidos de dedos, entre el pulgar y el anular rompe nueces

Waw

Que pena mas grande y de luto para siempre. Se quedo los flamencos

I saw a common Amaya at the Village Gate in New York City down in the village in 1960 I was just amazed at emotional strength and her ability to translate into dancing what she was feeling.

Carmen Amaya and Jose Greco are by far the best flamenco dancers of all time. No one comes close. Just watching them is a master class. What a great find! Thanks❣️

Cierto.

"In 1952 she married guitarist Juan Antonio Agüero, a member of her troupe. A man belonging to a distinguished family from Santander, who was not a gypsy. They lived an authentic love story and celebrated an intimate wedding." (from wikipedia)

Stanley Okimoto I saw Sabicas live way back when I lived in Miami at the Dade County Auditorium

Never heard of Sabicas. They musicians all leave the stage in a hurry, so I'm assuming the recording is sped up.

I imagine a lot of people were in love with her.

@@donnawoodford6641 "Never heard of Sabicas." If you like flamenco guitar, then please do youtube searches on "Sabicas". Everyone I know who seriously played flamenco guitar considers Sabicas unsurpassed, including Paco de Lucia. Sabicas produced about 30 LPs, some solo, some with other top flamenco artists. In the period from about 1940 to 1970 he essentially defined flamenco guitar.

hola Cristina gracias por el cumplido a mi Mexico que llevo en el alma , siendo que ya tengo la ciudadania americana, Espana, siempre, escuche de pequeno que en la ciudad de Mexico mucha gente la nombraba la Madre Patria, y no sabia que decir, mas algunas veces miraba a mis hermanos mas claros de piel, y a otros no, y me preguntaba porque esto, y luego mi madre nos inculcaba el amor a Dios, y seguia preguntandome porque, pero mi apellido es espanol, y fue cuando lei la historia de la llegada de los espanoles a mexico y entendi muchos porques , la conquista fue brutal, e inhumana, pero tengo una bisabuela espanola , del lado paterno,y dime tu ?si no es duro entender lo que es ser mexicano, me recuerdo mirando a mi hermano mayor, con su perfil griego y su tez morena, y mi andar por las calles mirando rostros de muchos tipos, ya sea mas indigena como mi otra cultura, u otros blancos como cualquier habitante espanol, sabias que en california u.s.a. a los mexicanos ya nos catalogan blancos con el nombre de grupo racial latino interesante verdad ?quizas te preguntes por que me atrevi a platicarte todo esto, quizas por que > asi como tu admiras Mexico, asi yo admiro Espana la madre patria a golpes y a puro dolor pero la madre Patria, y mira que en este pais donde vivo ahora, aprendi a defender todo lo que se funde entre lo mexicano y lo espanol, por ejemplo el idioma, la religion,que sigo profesando el catolicismo, muchisimas costumbres sociales, que a lo anglosajones se les hacen dificiles de entenderlas, a proposito la mejor bailarina de flamenco, y viva Espana , la madre Patria.
