This was a heap of fun. Got to play flamenco for workmates at tvnz. Flamenco is really a kind of European blues. Well the spanish did invent the guitar after all! But unlike blues which is mostly based around the twelve bar blues..flamenco has more than thirty different styles. This, style is called Zambra and the music, which I improvise, is known as the Moorish Dance. A lot of younger flamencos aren't familiar with it these days. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b15f3ac3917ee06b17e59ff/5b4696f470a6adcc6087a64e/5b46994288251b9e6208579b/1531354424671/ Music Videos - Bulerias de Moron How lucky i am to know flamenco dancer isabel Rivera Cuenca of Barcelona and her incredible circle of flamenco talent. It was isa who decided I should get some experience with her troupe of flamenco artists. For this performance in 2016 in Auckland I chose my own version of a rythmn called bulerias. Bulerias de Moron is based around the style of my gipsy maestro Juan del Gastor. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b15f3ac3917ee06b17e59ff/5b4696f470a6adcc6087a64e/5b469a34758d46a136f63304/1531354424942/Screen+Shot+2018-07-12+at+12.03.22+PM.png Music Videos - I AM at Q Theatre How lucky I was to get to perform with Isabel Rivera Cuenca and her troupe of flamenco artists direct from Spain. But what a challenge! These flamenco artists are like human metronomes, drop one beat and they know all about it. And the rhythms are fiendishly complicated. Hear the music here. But check the latest edition of North and South magazine for the full story of how I found myself facing the music. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5b15f3ac3917ee06b17e59ff/5b4696f470a6adcc6087a64e/5b469b58575d1f245864e547/1531354424952/ Music Videos - alameda ian sinclair and juan del gastor Which one of these two flamenco guitarists is not a gypsy?

Spanish historians certainly think so. This story started out as a piece of music written by me to honour the memory of Spanish Civil War volunteer Griff Maclaurin and became a report for Television New Zealand's Sunday Programme. Now I wonder, could the kiwis have given Ernest Hemmingway his inspiration for For Whom the Bell Tolls? I do know he visited the scene.
