TIRITITRANS
Manolete
There is a dance
that, instead of playing with silence, imposes it.
In flamenco there
is a lot of worn out clothing, which is plucked and made new.
Estrella came with
the guitar player and with her father's coat on.
Estrella Morente
And she decorated
the cantes with some of the brilliant layers of her Marchena dress.
While concentrating,
she placed binoculars in her Greek throat to see from close up the remote flamenco.
She did not wear
modern instruments like smoky glasses.
A bright Estrella
and trademark flamenco style.
There is a type
of flamenco that becomes atomic, which beats around the atom.
A microscope serves,
sometimes, to minimize the flamenco universe.
"It seems
grave to me that some areas of flamencology and of peñology are adopting
an attitude as of a political party within art, attacking some artists and defending
others. Understanding flamenco, even without being in the midst of this world,
is something that everyone that knows how to listen can do" (Enrique Morente)
"Omega":
power-driven saws and "seguiriyas".
