Flamenco-world.com has been and is the
window to the world of flamenco; it’s a reference.
How many promoters, managers, festivals... haven’t
resorted to Flamenco-world when they’ve needed a
photo or a résumé?
They’ve also been pioneers in that
a fan from anywhere in the world has access to the purchase
of a CD, a box drum, some shoes, a book... which used
to be impossible to get.
So after 10 years I just want to congratulate
Flamenco-world for its collaboration in spreading our
art form.

If Tío Borrico knew that flamenco
is "virtually posted on the Net" it’s
possible that he might thing that "virtually posted
on the Net" is the name of a tavern or an inn which
he didn’t know
... nor do I know what he’d think of the flamenco
itself which is heard on the Net nowadays, whether it
is cante accompanied by a strange drum ?? (the box drum)
or a flamenco guitar with a symphony orchestra ??
or a Japanese singing ?? Camarón’s songs
??
or a guy playing his cantes por soleá on his saxophone
??
but... once you’ve approached his way of singing
it’s easy to think that "Tío Borrico"
would surely have imagination for that and perhaps for
more...
I myself, even in the most feverish lucubrations of my
early youth, could not have imagined "something"
like "www.flamenco-world.com"
I, who recognize my great vocation for traveling unknown,
unexplored roads,
... what is called being a "pioneer"
I intuitively recognize my "adventure" mates
"www.flamenco-world.com" have been pioneers
in this business of flamenco on the Net... for ten years
now !!!
Thanks for accompanying us in this adventure
Thanks for voicing to the world our findings, our anxieties,
feelings, certainties, glories, miseries and helping us
to fill our fridge as we...
Congratulations to all of you who work there and may neither
age nor success make you lose that flair which brought
you this far!!!

Times have changed and without realizing it, for ten years
now, our habits of information as well. Our daily flamenco
reference is Flamenco-world.com. I remember in my early
days, anxiously waiting for the flamenco page on Sundays
in the Diario Córdoba, then the section dedicated
to flamenco in the Día de Córdoba, every month
the magazine Sevilla Flamenca… Now thanks to some
“crazies” who started to post news on what we
began to call “the Net”, we find out everything
and in record time. Computers don’t do miracles. For
us to have this information updated, these “crazies”,
called thus with all my respect and affection, are constantly
at the heart of the news: records, festivals, concerts...
I think we all have to congratulate ourselves for these
10 years of information and the spread of our flamenco culture,
and since I’m a team man, I now have another member
in my musical career besides my musicians, manager and technicians.
I have the accurate, detailed information from Flamenco-world.com.
Congratulations! Take good care of yourselves, flamenco
internauts

Just a few years ago, establishing a
relationship between the words flamenco and the Internet
was nearly snobbishly extravagant. Now, however, you are
celebrating the 10th anniversary of your website, Flamenco-world.com,
which has been and undoubtedly is of great use to improve
the spread and understanding of our music all over the
world through the extraordinary possibilities of a medium
like the Internet.
My sincerest congratulations and encouragement
to keep going, just like your valiant and very necessary
venture to create a record label in times so little favorable.
Best wishes to all from
Juan
Carlos Romero
To speak of Flamenco-world.com is to
speak of work, devotion, dedication, study, reliability,
depth... but above all, love and respect for this so wonderful
art form which is Flamenco, and what’s more important,
for those of us artists, professionals and enthusiasts
who live devoted to it.

Flamenco-world.com is an open window
to the world through which, in my own specific case, as
a bailaora, I have been able to discover a horizon of
possibilities, where information, learning, knowledge
of this art form, of its artists and creators, instructors,
producers... have deeply marked the development and evolution
of my artistic and professional life.
Therefore, Flamenco-world.com, and above
all, the crew of people who bring it alive, are an essential
part of my own experience as a person and artist. Because
since it was born ten years ago, they have accompanied
me and encouraged me to go on dancing, working, dreaming...
Health and Freedom, friends!!!
Affectionately,
María
del Mar Moreno

After these 10 years, I think that flamenco,
among other things, is changing its habits. Flamencos
don’t debate on corners or in bars; now as soon
as they get up they turn on their computer and if they
want to know something about flamenco, then they surf
the Net to find something about the subject. Thanks to
Flamenco-world.com we’ve had a reference with regards
to daily news related to flamenco. Do you all remember
how interesting the forum was? Of course, it was nice
while it lasted; what a shame. We also have record news,
and above all, news with regards to the shows which are
scheduled. I hope you all feel the same way that I do
about these such interesting initiatives for the spread
of this so beautiful art form. Thanks to this website,
flamenco enthusiasts in other countries are up-to-date
on information about flamenco and have the latest news.
Long live this kind of initiative and
may these 10 years (surely also of suffering) turn into
another 10 years of relief.
Pedro Sierra, humble flamenco guitarist
trying to make a living.
Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Pedro

In these ten years, we’ve all lived
a very interesting evolution in our lives and our music,
and in Flamenco we can also feel that passing of time,
so dizzying and so revolutionary. Today we’re at
one of those hinges of time which separates and joins
the analogical world, the oral one, from the digital world,
dominated by the use of cybernetic technology, and it’s
very important, in such a strong cultural step in which
the communication codes and messages which tradition bring
us are transformed, to be able to transport them towards
the future with certainty and a live pulse, which doesn’t
betray the fundamental of our styles and which transfers
popular knowledge towards a contemporary language which
we use to communicate hereafter: knowing who we are, from
the knowledge of who we were towards the discovery and
the construction of what we will be. In that process which
we all experience, the work of people who devote their
time and their affection to spreading flamenco culture
on the Internet is fundamental, along a road creative
and informative at the same time which can set up many
of the bases that will serve us to go on training and
evolving without losing sight of the roots. As the poet
Veneno says, "looking at the sky, with your feet
in the flowerpot ".

There, Flamenco-World’s work has
always seemed exemplary to me, very dedicated and attentive
to what is happening, with the criteria of supporting
quality shows, and with independence and affection, working
to help us, among all of us, to understand one another
better. My gratitude, as a reader and an artist, to your
work, friends. Keep going, for there’s a lot of
beautiful music waiting to be brought to the memory of
the future.

My sincerest congratulations to all of
you who make it possible for Flamenco to reach the remotest
corner in the world and congratulations for Flamenco-World’s
tenth anniversary.
I, personally, am a follower of your website. And since
I don’t have enough time to go and see my colleagues
- since we put on an average of two hundred shows per
year - thanks to websites like Flamenco-world.com I feel
much more informed on each thing that’s being done
in flamenco, each new show presented by my colleagues,
the opinion of many of them, the old-time artist and the
one just getting started, etc…
Congratulations!!!! Affectionately
Sara
