Flamenco Frenzy

Wednesday, February 13, 2008

Flamenco has moved beyond the old stereotypes of tapas restaurants and kitschy souvenirs. Today, Miguel Marin, founder of The New York Flamenco Festival, explains how younger artists -- like Diana Navarro, Rocio Molina, Eva Yerbabuena and Son de la Frontera -- are shaking up the sound and the face of Spain's traditional music. And Diana Navarro performs live.

    Is there maybe any way we can get back the stereotypes and kitsch? Traditional flamenco is what made the genre world-famous, not pseudo-pop-Spanish-rock-world music, in itself a stereotype.
