Is it possible to learn flamenco and not be a Gypsy or a Spaniard?
Since I grew up in Malaga, and later in the caves of Sacromonte in
Granada spending four long summer months living with the Gypsies as one

Flamenco, especially Post-Franco flamenco, is the result of many
influences.
It will always be a the child of the Gitano, as jazz is of
Afro-Americans. But also like jazz, is able to speak for all people.

If it didn't, it would have died out decades ago.

Here is a mixed group of gitano and payo flamencos, who showcase both
intensely puro and modern styles.

IŽts not so easy this explanation...The gitanos lived in Spain 4 centuries
with the most rich popular music in Europe(Spanish) and with the rest of
jew and arabian musics...At the end of XIX century the flamenco start to
have his public development but they arrived in 1430 aprox...
Excuse my english.

I have read that Adam Del Monte's real name is Adam Kofler, and that he
was raised in Israel, not Spain.
