Fire and Grace








'Flamenco...at its heart, has always been and always will be an intimate form of music. You have not heard authentic flamenco, if you have not been in a juerga, with a small group of friends, at midnight somewhere in the south of Spain,

where there is nothing around but the voice, the guitar and the body of a dancer moving in the moonlight.'

  2. The first time I saw a flamenco dance was in Seville, and though not precisely in such a magnetic setting, it was just as spellbinding...and I had to remind myself to breathe. I think I hardly blinked during the performance :D
