Flamenco Quote of the Day

"Not everyone can understand this.  In order to understand flamenco singing, you have to live with someone who sings, and you hear them all the time, and then you say “this one sings, but that one doesn’t”.  Nowadays everyone is a flamenco singer, but that’s not how it is, not just anyone can sing."

"Pasa una cosa, todo el mundo no lo entiende.  Porque tú para entender de cante, tienes que vivir con una persona que sabe cantar, y escuchas cantar, entonces dices tú, “este canta, pero aquel no canta”.  Hoy en día la gente cualquiera canta y no, cualquiera no canta."

Maria Bala/Cantaora
1933-2014
